@Regrann from @medscape - Medscape Clinical Trends: Parkinson's Disease⠀ ⠀ A trio of new studies are responsible for this week's top search term. ⠀ ⠀ First up, a new retrospective, case-control analysis found that patients with Parkinson's disease, commonly referred to as Parkinson's disease, have a nearly 4-fold increased risk of having preexisting melanoma and that those with melanoma have a similar risk of developing Parkinson's disease. ⠀ ⠀ Although the study's authors did not strongly recommend screening for all such patients, they did recommend that physicians counsel patients with melanoma about the risk for Parkinson disease and vice versa. A separate study compared specialist care for Parkinson's disease using virtual house calls with traditional in-office visits. ⠀ ⠀ The findings showed increased patient satisfaction and preference for the virtual house calls, with a significant benefit of reduced time and burden of travel. Finally, a new randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial suggested that the type 2 diabetes drug exenatide may potentially have disease-modifying effects in patients with Parkinson's disease. ⠀ ⠀ The study found that the medication was associated with improved off-medication motor scores, with benefits persisting for several weeks after discontinuation of the drug. ⠀ ⠀ From a significant newly documented association with another serious condition to potential new ways to provide care and treatment, this search term had many reasons for an increase in popularity.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ More on Medscape.com.

@Regrann from @medschool_life - A picture that changed the world! This is in 1987, Zbigniew Religa after a 23 hour heart transplant, watching his patient’s vital signs. In the lower right corner, you can see one of his colleagues who helped him with the surgery fallen asleep. Dr. Religa was a pioneer of heart transplantation in Poland, and even though the surgery was considered borderline impossible at the time, he took the chance, and the operation was entirely successful. Today, even though Dr. Religa’s heart has stopped beating, the one of his patient is still running! - #regrann #health #hospital #hippocrates_health #medicine #surgeon #barber #heart #transplant #cardiology #cardiothoracic #surgery

@Regrann from @medilagconnect - Regrann from @the_bookclub_medilag - Khaled Hosseini was chosen as the author to feature in this weekend's post by Tamilore, whose nominated book (Lolita) is the book of the month. Khaled Hosseini trained and practiced as a medical doctor but did not really enjoy being one and so after the success of his second book he retired from medical practice to become a full-time writer. @medilag247 @medilagolofofo @medilagconnect He has written three highly rated books; The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, And the Mountains Echoed. Family and parenting is a central theme in his writing and this has endeared his works to readers worldwide. He is currently a goodwill envoy for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and he is very passionate about it. The Book Club read Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner last year and found it to be a book that is bent on enlightening you, even as it snaps your heart over its spine, cuts through you with its sharp edges and then lovingly plasters its pages over your wounds. We recommend you read it. Stay tuned for the next author feature before our September meet. @khosseini - #regrann - #regrann #hippocrates_health #medlife #medicalschool #medicine #books #author #UNHCR #refugees #passion #writer

@Regrann from @cdcgov - This is an illustration of what Bordetella pertussis, the bacteria that cause pertussis or whooping cough, looks like through a microscope. Whooping cough spreads easily through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. Whooping cough is most dangerous for babies and young children, as coughing fits may cause babies to gag, gasp for air, and even stop breathing. The best protection against whooping cough is the DTaP vaccine. Doctors recommend babies get three DTaP doses before they are one year old. Talk to your doctor to make sure your baby is up to date. #UnderTheLens #parenting #healthykids #healthybaby #moms #dads #publichealth #vaccines #science #publichealthnerd - #regrann #hippocrates_health
