Our society is aging. As populations get older, the incidence of fragility fractures increases, mainly due to osteoporosis. Despite successful surgery, elderly patients might not recover as expected. Orthogeriatric co-management has proven to yield improved patient outcomes. It considers medical comorbidities such as osteoporosis, cognitive impairment, and physical frailty, which traditional surgical interventions may not adequately account for. This makes perfect clinical sense for the patients. In the AO Trauma Guest Blog, Dr Joseph Nicholas argues it also makes financial sense for society and why hospitals should invest. 🔗 https://brnw.ch/21wHN9M #trauma #osteoporosis #frailty #fragility #sarcopenia #aotrauma

What are the benefits of Cardiac Rehabilitation? *It strengthens the heat and body after a heart attack. *It improves your mood and reduces the risk of depression. *It improves your activity of daily living. *It prevents future cardiac events. *It helps getting you back to your normal life and live even better and healthier. Cardiac rehabilitation decreases the chance that you will die in the 5 years following a cardiac events or surgery by about 35%. ❤️ #cardiac #cardiacrehab #biokinetics #clinicalexercisephysiology #acsm

Recent research with blood purification using the Oxiris filter set suggests a benefit in preventing cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI). Professor Xosé Pérez-Fernández discusses these blood purification findings in this 1-minute highlight from ISICEM 2024.

Today is World Obesity Day The 2024 theme for World Obesity Day is “Let's Talk About Obesity. The theme was selected to encourage people to start conversations that address obesity. ACURIO's hospital - The George Centre is now hosting regular weight loss surgery seminars which are being conducted by two of the hospital's highly respected Bariatric Weight Loss Surgeons - Dr Ali Zarrouk and Dr Rachael Kirby. The first seminar is scheduled to be held in March with regular seminar dates planned thereafter. We are proud to host these seminars to help empower our community to gain a better understanding of obesity and the management options available to them. #healthcare #healthawareness #obesity #obesitytreatment #obesityawareness

The prevention of perioperative morbidity is a determining factor in providing high-quality in health care, since the occurrence of postoperative complications adversely affects postoperative survival and increase healthcare costs [1]. #PreoperativeTesting #CardiovascularMedicine #PulmonaryCare #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #Anticoagulation #MedicationManagement #SurgicalOutcome #EvidenceBasedCare #PreoperativeEvaluation #SurgicalRiskScoring #PerioperativeGuidelines #HaemodynamicMonitoring #SurgicalOptimisation #EnhancedRecoveryPrograms #CardiopulmonaryExerciseTesting #PerioperativeFluids

Skip Waymire was not feeling his best and would “lose his knees,” resulting in painful falls. Skip had a leakage in his heart resulting in symptoms of heart failure. Due to his age and other health factors, he was not a candidate for open-heart surgery. However, thanks to new technology and skilled physicians, Skip had two minimally-invasive procedures completed at Blake. Watch his story to learn more about how these procedures improved Skip’s quality of life.

The emergence of Lumen Apposing Metal Stents (LAMS) has been a game changer in the management of luminal stenosis. Their design offers a substantial benefit of demonstrably reduced risk of stent migration. This case study highlights the successful application of LAMS in a patient experiencing a gastro-jejunal anastomotic stricture following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery. Preoperatively, the patient exhibited significant dysphagia and inability to drink even sips of water. Following the LAMS placement, the patient demonstrated a marked improvement almost immediately post-operatively, with their tolerance expanding to a soft diet, and has (potentially) avoided a major surgical revision. What a wonderful feeling to be able to deliver such therapy to patients. Boston Scientific Community Health System

In today's world, modern medicine has brought new hope to the elderly, who are living longer than ever. One common neurological issue among them is chronic subdural hematoma, a slow, delayed bleeding in the brain caused by minor falls or injuries. The symptoms can range from persistent headaches to dizziness and numbness. Traditional treatments often require surgery, which can be risky for elderly patients on blood thinners. But there's a game-changing alternative! Through endovascular neuro intervention, a minimally invasive procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization can be performed. This technique allows doctors to treat the condition without the need for surgery, anesthesia, or knives—making it a safe and effective choice for the elderly. Stay informed and spread the word about the advancements in medical care that can make a difference. #ElderlyHealth #ModernMedicine #NeuroIntervention #BrainHealth #SubduralHematoma #HealthcareAdvancements #EndovascularTreatment #MGMMalar
