Relaxation Techniques: What You Need To Know

https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/relaxation-techniques-what-you-need-to-know?nav=govd Relaxation techniques are practices to help bring about the body’s “relaxation response,” which is the opposite of the stress response. The relaxation response is characterized by slower breathing, lower blood pressure, and a reduced heart rate. One relaxation technique, called progressive muscle relaxation, involves tensing different muscles in your body and then releasing the tension. Another technique, called guided imagery, involves picturing objects, scenes, or events that are associated with relaxation or calmness and attempting to produce a similar feeling in your body. The use of these techniques has increased in recent years. National survey data show that 6.4 percent of U.S. adults used guided imagery or progressive muscle relaxation in 2022, compared to 3.8 percent in 2002.

NIA is leading efforts to coordinate NIH palliative care research February 28, 2024

https://www.nia.nih.gov/research/blog/2024/02/nia-leading-efforts-coordinate-nih-palliative-care-research?utm_source=NIA+Main&utm_campaign=a1204d030f-blog-palliativecare-2-28-24&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-8180ce9847-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D Palliative care is an interdisciplinary field focused on improving quality of life for people with serious illness and their families and caregivers. Currently multiple NIH Institutes and Centers support research on palliative care, but a centralized NIH approach would help identify synergies and create a clearer training path for scientists in this area. We’re excited that recently, NIA was named the lead NIH Institute for this effort. If you’re interested in being part of this project, be sure to register for the pre-application webinar on March 15, and then apply by July 2 for a new funding opportunity to develop the Consortium for Palliative Care Research Across the Lifespan.

Antibody Reduces Allergic Reactions to Multiple Foods in NIH Trial Drug Can Help Protect Kids With Multiple Food Allergies During Accidental Exposure

https://www.niaid.nih.gov/news-events/antibody-reduces-allergic-reactions-multiple-foods-nih-trial-0?utm_campaign=+59565440&utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term= An NIAID study published today in The New England Journal of Medicine found a 16-week course of omalizumab increased the amount of peanut, tree nuts, egg, milk and wheat that multi-food allergic children as young as 1 year could eat without an allergic reaction. This Phase 3 clinical trial finding suggests the antibody therapy has the potential to protect children and adolescents if they accidentally eat a food to which they are allergic despite efforts to avoid it. The FDA approved omalizumab (Xolair) for people with food allergy on February 16 based on interim data from the NIAID trial.

ctDNA May Guide Who Needs Chemo After Colorectal Cancer Surgery

https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2024/colorectal-cancer-ctdna-may-guide-adjuvant-therapy?cid=eb_govdel After surgery for colorectal cancer that’s started to spread beyond its initial location, many people go straight to treatment with chemotherapy. The idea behind this postsurgery, or adjuvant, treatment is to reduce the likelihood that the cancer will come back in other places in the body, resulting in more people being cured of the cancer.

A Potential New Way to Prevent Noise-Induced Hearing Loss: Trapping Excess Zinc Posted on February 22nd, 2024 by Dr. Monica M. Bertagnolli

https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2024/02/22/a-potential-new-way-to-prevent-noise-induced-hearing-loss-trapping-excess-zinc/ Hearing loss is a pervasive problem, affecting one in eight people aged 12 and up in the U.S. While hearing loss has multiple causes, an important one for millions of people is exposure to loud noises, which can lead to gradual hearing loss, or people can lose their hearing all at once. The only methods used to prevent noise-induced hearing loss today are avoiding loud noises altogether or wearing earplugs or other protective devices during loud activities. But findings from an intriguing new NIH-supported study exploring the underlying causes of this form of hearing loss suggest it may be possible to protect hearing in a different way: with treatments targeting excess and damaging levels of zinc in the inner ear.

A TODOS: el día 16 de febrero, luego de una brutal tormenta, se cortó internet, se cortaron las líneas telefónicas, por ende no hubo Wi-Fi, ni conexiones de ninguna índole… me llevó dos días entender dónde estaba el problema, ya que muchos vecinos del barrio, estaban en las mismas condiciones… acudí a Telecom Personal y también lo hice a Personal Telecom, ya que no sé dónde comienza una empresa y donde termina la otra… te ofrecen un teléfono que te indica que tienes que marcar 1, o bien, marcar 2, o bien, marcar 3, o bien marcar 4, o bien, marcar 5, o bien marcar 6, pero en algún momento serás atendido por alguien, a quien jamás verás… luego de variar por la escala, alguien atendió… dijo que el cable que conecta al barrio es viejo… dijo que ahora hay una novedosa fibra óptica, que curiosamente, también es un cable, pero nuevo… dijo que el costo del cambio era importante… dijo que había que consultar al servicio técnico… dijo muchas cosas que no recuerdo, porque fueron demasiadas… dijo que tal vez el día 27 de febrero harían una visita para ver de qué se trata… dijo que el costo actual era escaso y que al ser todo nuevo, debía aumentar, casi al doble, poco más, seguramente… dijo que había beneficios suculentos, y otros no tanto… dijo, y también dijo, y volvió a repetir, por si no se entendió… a nadie le importó que no hubiese servicio durante largos días… según dijeron, todo se compensa en la factura, lo cual está por verse… como sea, los días pasan y no hay teléfono, no hay internet, no hay Wi-Fi, no hay conexión alguna… los blog´s han quedado inaccesibles, sin actualizar, pero a nadie le importa… no me he tomado vacaciones porque no hay dónde ir, ya que la mayoría de las rutas están cortadas, por lluvias recurrentes y tormentas consecuentes… tampoco he salido de la casa porque la misma no puede quedar sola, ya que hay vigías que marcan la casa, y luego roban, sin que nadie haga nada… además, una casa sola es pasible de ser ocupada por indeseables asociados al poder del narcotráfico, que es socio del poder político… el estado dejó de existir hace dos meses y medio, gracias a la nueva administración anarcocapitalista, es decir, primero instala la anarquía donde antes hubo un estado de derecho, luego habla de capitalismo para los amigos del poder, que se apoderan de todo y someten a los mortales a sus designios… en definitiva, nos hemos quedado sin país, ya que cada uno está librado a su suerte… no hay garantías constitucionales… no hay a quien quejarse… no hay a quien reclamar (por nada)… no hay derechos ni humanos ni ciudadanos… la legislatura ha dejado de existir, porque muchos se han vendido a la nueva administración… mientras tanto, la justicia tampoco existe porque es inaccesible… y en el poder ejecutivo se ha instalado la demencia… la sociedad argentina está sucumbiendo a la estupidez humana de la clase política reinante… dentro de poco tiempo, nuestro país, pasará a ser una entelequia… por favor, tenelo en cuenta, porque no sé qué será de nosotros… el editor… PD: y esto recién comienza… lo de internet es sólo una muestra… PD2: gracias al equipo técnico de Telecom Personal… es necesario agradecer a los mortales que trabajan, como lo hizo uno…

A response to your 3 Feb post regarding red-light therapy for myopia

Dear Editor of the Salud Equitativa blog, On the 3rd of February you reposted an article from STAT News about red-light therapy for the treatment of myopia. My client is the manufacturer of the only red-light therapy device to be licensed and approved for the treatment of myopia in mor than 30 countries around the world. As such we would appreciate an opportunity to rebut some of the inaccurate statements made by Dr. Ostrin in that article. I hope you will consider posting our letter of response below. Dear Editor, Eyerising International would appreciate an opportunity to respond to, and rebut certain claims made in, an article you posted on 3rf February under the headline, “Promising red-light myopia treatment for children is raising safety concerns among experts Annalisa Merelli By Annalisa Merelli Feb. 2, 2024” The piece was reporting on an article recently published in the Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics (OPO) Journal, titled, “Red light instruments for myopia exceed safety limits”, which was authored by Lisa A. Ostrin and Alexander W. Schill. Eyerising International has spoken to the Editor-in-Chief of the OPO Journal, and he has agreed to give the company the right of reply to Dr Ostrin’s article and to publish a letter to the editor addressing several of the inaccuracies and misrepresentations in Dr Ostrin’s OPO article. As the originator of repeat low-level, red light therapy (RLRL) sometimes also called LLRL (low level red light therapy) and the manufacturer of the only red-light myopia management device licensed and approved for the treatment of myopia in multiple countries, Eyerising International would like to address some inaccuracies Dr Ostrin repeated in your article. Point 1 In the press release, based on only testing two copycat devices in her laboratory Dr Ostrin generalises to all red light devices: “The safety profiles of red-light laser devices for myopia have not been fully investigated,” The Eyerising device has been very fully investigated, it has undergone 10 clinical trials and four (4) real world studies, covering 1785 patients, with a cumulative clinical trial use of 9.25 years - with zero significant adverse events recorded. The device has been used to treat more than 160,000 patients in the real world over the past eight years, and there are currently more than 80,000 daily users. To date, there have only been five (5) cases of significant adverse side effects reported; with no permanent damage recorded. Point 2 In the press release Dr Ostrin said: “Based on measurements in our laboratory, it is recommended that clinicians strongly reconsider the use of LLRL therapy for myopia in children until safety standards can be confirmed,” Numerous countries have established such safety standards and unlike the two copycat devices Dr Ostrin tested in her laboratory the Eyerising device meets the quality, safety, and efficacy standards required by medical regulators in over 30 countries across Europe and APAC, with several more pending. 1. Eyerising International is ISO 13485:2016 certified by notified body BSI. 2. CE mark as Class IIa medical device 3. MHRA approved Class IIa in UK 4. MedSafe Class IIa in New Zealand 5. TMMDA approved Class IIa in Turkey 6. Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) in Australia 7. Medical Device Authority (MDA) in Malaysia Point 3 Testing to the wrong standards Dr Ostrin and her colleague stated in the original OPO article that they tested two devices to the ANSI Z136.1 standard as the benchmark for their tests. Although they acknowledged that the ANSI Z136.1 standards were developed to protect individuals from accidental exposure to lasers in occupational situations, they did not mention that there is a more recent ANSI standard specifically for ophthalmic instruments. The ANSI Z80.36 standard specifies fundamental requirements for optical radiation safety for ophthalmic instruments. It applies to all ophthalmic instruments (including current, new, and emerging instruments) that direct optical radiation into, or at the eye. It also applies to those parts of therapeutic or surgical systems that direct optical radiation into, or at the eye for diagnostic, illumination, measurement, imaging, or alignment purposes [2]. It is the ANSI Z80.36-2021 standard, which the FDA required Eyerising to meet and which we obtained. Point 4 In the article you ran Dr Ostrin said: “The company behind one of the devices reports that it is already being used to address myopia in over 100,000 pediatric patients.” As Eyerising International is the only company with an approved product this can only refer to us, although it fails to mention that the Eyerising device has a proven safety record in both clinical trial and real-world settings. The Eyerising device has to be prescribed by an Eye Health professional such as an ophthalmologist or optometrist. It has been used to treat more than 160,000 patients with only five (5) cases of significant adverse side effects reported. Eyerising International is not just the leading player in the field of LLRL but the only player in the field with a red light device licensed and approved by regulatory authorities in multiple countries for the treatment of myopia. Despite that obvious qualification Dr Ostrin never tested our device and never even requested one of our devices to test. Had she done so we would have been happy to supply one as we have every confidence in its safety record. Despite never testing our device Dr Ostrin referred to it inaccurately several time in her OPO article and by implication by generalising her comments to cover all red light devices for treating myopia, although she only tested two. In conclusion: Eyerising International takes our responsibility for ensuring the safety and efficacy of our RLRL therapy device seriously. We remain committed to working closely with healthcare professionals and users to collect and investigate any adverse reactions and to address any potential concerns. Apart from our extensive and on-going clinical trials we always consult the relevant authorities when entering new markets to ensure that our device meets any and all safety standards required by the relevant authorities. About Eyerising International Eyerising International is an Australian MedTech company developing life-impacting eye-health therapy to slow the progression of myopia. We are led by a team of world-renowned ophthalmology academics, researchers and a board with a proven track record in MedTech innovation, implementation, and clinical facilitation. Eyerising International’s patented Myopia Management Repeated Low-Level Red–Light (RLRL) therapy was conceived and developed by ERI’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor Mingguang He, a global leader in myopia control and the development of artificial intelligence systems in ophthalmology. This innovation in childhood myopia control meets the quality, safety, and efficacy standards required by medical regulators in over 30 countries across Europe and Australasia.

No Glucose? Pancreatic Cancer May Have a Ready Energy Alternative ++++

No Glucose? Pancreatic Cancer May Have a Ready Energy Alternative A new study finds that pancreatic cancer cells have a ready way to overcome a lack of glucose, a frequent occurrence in this disease. They use another fuel source: a molecule called uridine. Findings from a related study suggest other cancers do as well. https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2023/pancreatic-cancer-uridine-energy-alternative?cid=eb_govdel How Some Brain Tumors Hijack the Mind to Grow Researchers have found that the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma can co-opt the formation of new synapses to fuel its own growth. This neural redirection also appears to play a role in the devastating cognitive decline seen in many people with glioblastoma. https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2023/glioblastoma-hijacks-neuroplasticity-tsp-1?cid=eb_govdel Coming Full Circle on Cancer and Extrachromosomal DNA A new study shows for the first time that a circular form of DNA, called ecDNA, is present in precancerous tissue and not just cancer cells. The study also suggested that when ecDNA is present in Barrett’s esophagus, that tissue is almost certain to become cancer. https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2023/extrachromosomal-dna-barretts-esophageal-cancer?cid=eb_govdel Vulnerability in Brain Tumors May Open Door to New Treatments Two companion studies have found different forms of some brain tumors, diffuse midline glioma and IDH-mutant glioma, become dependent for their survival on the production of chemicals called pyrimidines. Researchers are planning clinical trials to test a drug that blocks pyrimidine synthesis in patients with gliomas. https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2022/glioma-treatment-targeting-pyrimidine-synthesis?cid=eb_govdel

Maximizing scarce colonoscopy resources: the crucial role of Stool-Based tests

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38310359/ From the abstract: "During the COVID-19 pandemic, health systems, including federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), experienced disruptions in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. National organizations called for greater use of at-home stool-based testing followed by colonoscopy for those with abnormal test results to limit (in-person) colonoscopy exams to people with acute symptoms, or who were high-risk. This ‘stool-test-first’ strategy may also be useful for adults with low-risk adenomas who are due for surveillance colonoscopy. "
