Polo: BRCAm Pancreatic Cancer

Posted on July 6, 2018 by jwatrel

Polo: BRCAm Pancreatic Cancer

Are you interested in the possibility of a new option for treating your pancreatic cancer? Ask your physician for more information about this clinical research study and to see if you can participate.

What is Pancreatic Cancer?

Pancreatic Cancer begins when abnormal cells in the pancreas grow out of control and form a tumor. The symptoms associated with pancreatic cancer are often vague, similar to symptoms caused by other conditions and may not be present in early stages of the disease.

The importance of Pancreatic Clinical Research Studies

Pancreatic cancer clinical research studies are necessary to determine whether new treatments will be beneficial to people living with pancreatic cancer. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews and analyzes data from successful clinical trials to determine whether an experimental treatment should be approved for a specific disease or disorder, such as pancreatic cancer.

Clinical research studies are the only way that researchers can develop new treatment options for pancreatic cancer. Currently, only about 4.5% of pancreatic cancer patients enroll in clinical trials. Many patients are not aware of this option. Increased patient participation would help with progress in the development of new treatments for the disease. Another benefit of being enrolled in a study is the additional monitoring and care you will receive for your condition.

What is the study about?

This study is being conducted to test a new investigational medicine in people who have been diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer ( a cancer that has spread outside the pancreas) and have a gBRCA genetic mutation. The researchers are trying to determine how effectively the investigational medication controls the disease between chemotherapy treatments.

Who can participate?

You may qualify for this study if you are:

*Male or female 18 years of age and older.

*Clinically diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

*Received initial chemotherapy and the disease is stabilized or improved.

*Have a gene mutation in gBRCA1 or gBRCA2.

Other study requirements (assessed by the study doctor and/or nurse) will also need to be met to participate.

Qualifying for the study will depend upon meeting certain criteria. If you think study would be a good fit for you or someone else, please contact your study team for more details.

What would you be expected to do?

If you decide to join this study you could become one of nearly 145 people taking part in more than 80 hospital worldwide.

This study involves taking pills twice daily and regular visits to your study doctor that will last as long as you are benefiting from the treatment and willing to be involved in the study. At these visits your health status will be reviewed and other lab tests performed according to the study requirements.

Next Steps:

Participation in this study is completely voluntary. You are free to stop participation at any time and for any reason and your regular health care coverage will not be affected.

If you have a gBRCA mutation, have benefited from your chemotherapy and your doctor and you have decided it is time to take a break  from the chemotherapy, meet other study requirements, you will be randomly assigned to receive during this chemotherapy break, either the investigational medication (60% chance) or tablets with no medication (so called placebo) (40% chance). All study-related medication and procedures will be provided at no charge. You may be reimbursed for travel expenses.

Before enrolling in this study, you will be given an Informed Consent Document. This form is designed to explain the purpose of the study and the possible risks and benefits. A member of the study staff and/or study doctor will review and discuss this form with you. If you consent to participate on the study you will sign the Informed Consent Document and will get a copy.

Information About Clinical Research Studies:

It is important that you feel fully informed and comfortable about what to expect if you participate in this clinical research study. The study staff will answer any questions you may have about this clinical research study.

Some clinical research studies are designed to answer specific questions about investigational study medications and some studies are designed to ensure medication that is already being sold is safe and effective. This clinical research study is evaluation the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for treating your pancreatic cancer and delaying it from coming back and needing to resume chemotherapy.

Clinical research studies are performed according to strict government and regulatory guidelines. These guidelines help ensure that a participation’s safety and rights are protected during the clinical research study while allowing valuable information about he investigational medication to be collected.

Participation in any clinical research study is completely voluntary and you can withdraw from the study at any time for any reason.

Pediatric Emergency Department: Psychiatric Services Hackensack Hospital

Posted on July 5, 2018 by jwatrel

HackensackUMC Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital

Pediatric Emergency Department: Psychiatric Services

What to expect during your time in the Pediatric Emergency Department (Peds ED)

If your child is under 18 years of age, it is required that one parent or legal guardian remain for the duration of your child’s stay. This is necessary to ensure that someone is available to speak with members of the health care team as needed. A patient safety sitter may be assigned to stay within arm’s length of your child at all times. We do this to ensure the safety of your child until the Peds ED provider or psychiatrist determines that your child is not at risk for hurting himself/herself or hurting others.

A hospital gown will be provided for your child. All object that could be used for self-harm (jewelry, pens, pencils, etc.) will be removed from the room. This is done to ensure the safety of your child. Electronic equipment will also be removed to ensure your child is not in contact with people outside the hospital or online who may play a part in your child’s current emotional state. You will be asked to place your child’s belongings, including clothing with hospital security. Your child’s belongings will be returned upon discharge. Please partner with us in maintaining a safe space for your child by keeping your personal belongings outside of the child’s room.

Your child will be asked for a urine sample and may possibly require blood tests. These are part of your child’s medical exam. These tests help us to determine whether there is a medical reason for your child’s current behavior or emotional state. Your child may be examined by a Pediatric ED provider before the psychiatrist is called.

For you child’s safety, beverages will only be available to your child in paper cups. Glass and can pose a safety risk both to your child and to others. Please do not hesitate to request paper cups if you bring beverages for your child, please bring it to the nurse’s station first so it can be checked for potentially hazardous items, such as hot liquids, sharp utensils etc. This same process is followed for food trays brought up from our own cafeterias. We appreciate your support. The amount of time your child stays in the Peds ED cannot be predicted. It depends on many variables, including the following:

*Results of medical tests

*Results of the psychiatric evaluation

*Whether a transfer to another facility is necessary

*Decisions made by you and your child’s care team

We thank you for partnering with us as we work to keep your child safe during this time in the hospital. We understand you will continue to have questions. We encourage you to ask them so we can best meet the needs of your child.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth between the ages of 12 to 17 in the U.S. and the third leading cause of death for youth between the ages of 10 and 24 (according to Suicide Prevention, Centers for Disease Control). If you are worried that your child may have thoughts of self-harm, please share your concerns with you nurse or health care provider.

If you have concerns about suicide after discharge, please contact the following:

Suicide Hotline-(201) 262-HELP

Private Psychiatrist or Therapist

Private Medical Doctor

Having a child in the emergency department can be scary and overwhelming. We recognize that the family is the greatest strength in a child’s life and the strongest influence over a child’s health and well-being.

Please partner with us to keep your child safe. We encourage you to ask questions and express your concerns to us. Your support is very important as we carry out our plan to ensure your child’s safety. Every effort will be made to keep you informed, seek your insight and work with you to keep your child safe while in the Peds ED.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. You can reach the charge nurse any time at 551-996-8912.

Your child’s team may include the following:

*Physician or Advanced Practice Nurse

*Social Worker

*Psychiatrist

Colgate: Continuing Enamel Erosion can lead to Sensitive Teeth

Posted on July 5, 2018 by jwatrel

Colgate: Continuing Enamel Erosion can lead to sensitive teeth.

Learn what you can do to treat & strengths with clinically proven technology.

What is enamel erosion and how do I know if I have it?

Enamel erosion is a wearing down of the protective enamel coating on your teeth. It can be mild to severe cases can lead to sensitivity.

When enamel wears down, microscopic channels in the tooth (called dentin tubules) are exposed. These channels lead directly to nerves in your teeth and can cause discomfort and pain.

What causes enamel erosion?

Erosion happens most often when teeth are frequently exposed to acids. These acids can be from foods and drinks consumer, from medical conditions such as bulimia or gastric (stomach) acid reflux disease or even from medications or dietary supplements like vitamins that are slowly chewed.

Some foods and beverages with high acidity include:

*Wine

*Lemonade

*Sports drinks

*Tomatoes

*Coffee

*Strawberries

Signs of enamel erosion:

If you have sensitive teeth you should see your dental professional for a comprehensive diagnosis. Some signs you may notice could include:

*Translucency of enamel

*Darkening of teeth due to loss of enamel

*Pain in teeth from hot or cold drinks, cold air or dental procedures.

Fast-acting and long-lasting sensitivity relief!

The unique formula of Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Enamel Repair toothpaste provides more relief to the nerve at two weeks and builds a protective shield to help prevent painful sensitivity of flare-ups when used as directed.

It also helps repair weakened parts of teeth by reinforcing enamel layers with the maximum level of fluoride (1500ppm).

How does Colgate sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste work?

*Delivers potassium nitrate to soothe nerves.

*Fortifies the enamel’s weak spots with maximum fluoride.

*Builds long-lasting resistance to the pain of sensitivity.

Get instant relief in the office with Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Desensitizing paste.

*Provides instant relief before and after dental procedures.

*Applied by your dental professional in seconds.

*Protection lasts for at least four weeks.

Enamel erosion can cause sensitive teeth:

When gums recede or dentin becomes exposed due to aggravated enamel wear, small openings in the tooth (dentin tubules) are exposed.

Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief

If you are experiencing teeth sensitivity, talk to your dental professional about the Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Treatment Solution.

In office treatment: Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Desensitizing Paste (Rx only).

At home: Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste, Colgate 360 Sensitive Ultra Soft Toothbrush/Enamel Repair.

Mental Health Minute: Improve your family’s mental health-Englewood Hospital newsletter

Posted on June 29, 2018 by jwatrel

Mental Health Minute: Improving your family’s mental health

Englewood Hospital Newsletter

Building relationships with your family members can help promote good mental health. There are a number of activities families can do together that will not only boost mental wellness but can also help to relieve daily stress. Here are a few you may want to consider:

*Eat Dinner Together: have you ever heard of the saying, “A family that east together stays together”? We are often times so busy with work and daily chores that we tend to forget the simple things in life. Eating dinner together as a family gives each family member an opportunity to visit with one another. This is also a great time for parents to lend an ear to their children.

*Go for a walk: A little daily exercise is good for your physical and mental health. Walking together as a family is a simple thing to do. A quick 10 minute walk is a great way to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and doesn’t cost a cent.

*Get enough rest: If you and your family are not getting the adequate rest your body needs it will have a negative affect on physical and mental well being. Sleep specialists highly recommend at least seven to eight of sleep a night for optimal health.

Turn the television off: Some of us are a little too familiar with the sofas in our home. Do other things while indoors that stimulate the mind. For example, you might want to play a board game with your family or read a book together.

*Take a family vacation: A quick getaway is always refreshing. Make sure to include all family members in the planning process. Allowing each family member to be part of the planning process will not only help them feel important but will also help to insure there are activities that will please everyone.

Mental Health Minute: Heart Disease and Depression-Englewood Hospital

Posted on June 29, 2018 by jwatrel

Mental Health Minute: Heart Disease and Depression-Englewood Hospital

Credited to Ilene Scalzi, CEM II

http://www.nimh.nih.gov

People who develop cancer, diabetes or in particular, heart disease are at higher risk for developing depression as well. Depression’s link to cardiac medication and post-cardiac surgery has been the topic of many articles in healthcare journals. Approximately 40 to 65 percent of post-cardiac surgery patients suffer from depression (source NIMH).

There are many reasons why depression goes undetected in people with cardiac conditions. Most people-including patients and their doctors-expect a person who has had a heart attack to be sad or depressed. So depression is often dismissed as a natural reaction to illness.

Another reason why depression is often missed is because some cardiac medications have side effects that can make people lose their appetite, have trouble sleeping or feel run down. Therefore, it’s hard to determine what a medication side-effect is and what a depressive symptom is.

Be on the lookout for symptoms of depression:

*Feelings of sadness and helplessness

*Worried restless and anxious

*Lack of energy

*Difficulty concentrating

*Sleeping too little or too much

*Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed

*Thoughts of death or suicide

If you feel you have any of these symptoms, ask your doctor for a depression screening. For the most part, depression is effectively treated with medication and counseling.

Posted on June 29, 2018 by jwatrel

Mental Health Minute: Normal Aging versus Dementia-Englewood Hospital

This information was taken from AHCPR Clinical Practice Guidelines NO. 19 Publication.

As we age are brains go through changes as well. It is normal to forget where you parked your car in a crowded parking lot or where you placed your car keys. However, it’s not normal to forget that you drove your car to the busy shopping center or what your keys are used for. Below are some differences in what is considered normal and what may be signs of dementia. For more information please visit the Alzheimer’s  Association Web site, http://www.alz.org.

Normal Aging:

*Complains of memory loss but able to provide considerable detail regarding incidents of forgetfulness.

*Recent memory for important events, affairs, conversations are not impaired.

*Occasional word-finding difficulties

*Does not get lost in familiar territory; may have to pause momentarily to remember the way.

*Maintains prior level of interpersonal skills.

Dementia:

*May complain of memory problems only if specifically asked: unable to recall instances where memory loss was noticed.

*Notable decline in memory for recent events and ability to converse.

*Frequent word-finding pauses and substitutions.

*Gets lost in familiar territory while walking or driving may take hours to eventually return home.

*Exhibits loss of interest in social activities; exhibits socially inappropriate behaviors.

Mental Health Minute: Englewood Hospital-Nursing Home Residents and Depression

Posted on June 29, 2018 by jwatrel

Mental Health Minute-Englewood Hospital-Nursing Home Residents and Depression

Taken from their monthly newsletter:

Nursing Home Residents and Depression

It is determined that as many as half of all older people living in nursing homes suffer from depression severe enough to effect their functioning and quality of life. Although common among older people, it is not a normal part of getting older. Depression in older people, including those living in nursing homes, often is not recognized because of other medical illnesses involved. Some signs and symptoms of depression include:

*Agitation or irritability

*Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed

*Changes in appetite or sleep patterns

*Weight loss or gain

*Lack of energy

*Trouble concentrating or making decisions

*Thoughts of death or suicide

Sometimes, depression is mistaken for dementia, because both conditions can affect the older person’s ability to concentrate and remember things. It is very important that an accurate diagnosis is made. When diagnosing depression using ‘screening’ tests to diagnose depression and determine how severe it is. Some signs of depression can also be signs of a medical concern. In general, if no medical cause is found for the nursing home resident’s changes in behavior and if the signs have been present for two weeks or more, depression may be diagnosed.

Facts about screening for depression among nursing home residents:

*Nursing home residents should be screened for depression 2 to 4 weeks after they are admitted to the nursing home.

*Nursing home residents should be screened for depression every 6 months.

*Tools that health care providers can use include the “Geriatric Depression Scale” the “Beck Depression Inventory” and the “Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia”.

*Nursing home residents who have ideas of suicide should be referred immediately to a mental health professional.

What can be done to help the nursing home residents with depression?

*Help staff to identify activities that bring meaning and joy to the nursing home resident. Let the staff know what specific activities have been important to a loved one in the past.

*Talk to the nursing home staff about what you are seeing. Ask the nursing assistants and nurses about behaviors they are seeing.

*Contact the social worker for additional help. Contract a clergy person or chaplain if appropriate.

*Tell the nursing home staff immediately if your loved one talks about committing suicide.

*Look around at the environment of the nursing home. Plants, pets and other touches like family photos may help make it feel like home. Regular family visits can help too.

*Help the staff to monitor the effect of the treatments. Watch for improvements or negative changes.
