Ivana Trump’s untimely death is creating a spotlight on a common accident. According to the medical examiner’s report, Ivana suffered “blunt impact injuries to her torso” after falling down a staircase in her home. Every year, there are one million stair-related injuries with the most common being strains, bruises and broken bones. Physical therapist Dr. Karena Wu says she teaches her patients to slow down, take their time and pay attention to prevent stair-related injuries.
This webinar discusses causes of manual handling strain injuries, body areas at risk, and practical solutions for assessing and controlling hazardous manual tasks.

Eastern Equine Encephalitis, or EEE, has been found in at least six states; there are three cases in Michigan including a 14-year-old who is on a ventilator and feeding tube.
A Korean scientist became the first in the world to successfully cure a patient’s Parkinson’s disease by using their own stem cells.
A Harvard Medical School research team, led by Professor Kim Kwang-soo…, used a process called dedifferentiation, which reverts cells to an earlier developmental stage, and implanted them into the brain.
The patient has recovered and is now strong enough to swim and ride a bike.
Highlighting the need for more clinical tests,… Professor Kim vowed to continue his work, in order to establish this treatment as a key cure for Parkinson’s disease.
Hey Guys. Mr. Wellness here. And today weβre gonna talk about the Cures Act. I knowβ¦ the what?!?! We usually donβt get into government policy here but this is really important and itβs something you should know because it affects how you access your personal health information.
The Cures Act was originally signed into law in 2016 and it officially went into effect in November 2020. Basically, the Cures Act was designed to empower you with easy and unrestricted access to your personal health information by enabling you to get this information on apps and smart devices like your phone.
The biggest change that you may notice is you now have immediate access to information you did not have before β specifically your doctorsβ clinical notes and test and study results. Thatβs right, your doctorsβ notes, study and test results, your medical history, imaging results, procedure and progress notesβ¦ theyβre all there for you. Isnβt that great?!
Maybe, but maybe not. Donβt forget, with great power comes great responsibility. What Iβm saying is βdonβt run to Google and start searching. Just donβt. I know you did it back when the internet was new but that pain in your big toe? It wasnβt Ebola.
So just like back then, youβre going to have to figure out how to appropriately understand and use the information now at your fingertips and how to discuss it with your doctor. And your doctor is going to have to figure out the best way to educate you and involve you more in care decisions.
Ultimately, the Cures Act is intended to empower you with information and encourage timely and effective conversation between you and your doctors. So remember⦠slow down, process the information you now have access to, talk with your doctors and together, you and your doctor can find the best way to move forward with your care.

The passage of the 21st Century Cures Act has drawn both applause and criticism. A sweeping bipartisan effort with multiple components, the law dramatically boosts funding for medical research, particularly in areas such as cancer and brain disease. The law also relaxes regulatory processes for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. In doing so, the lawβs supporters point to the potential for faster treatments benefiting from a streamlined approval process. Critics raise concerns that safety and efficacy might be compromised, with potentially devastating consequences. And the law also has been questioned for failing to explicitly address high drug prices, a growing public issue. These debates are unfolding as the Trump administration is expected to imminently announce its choice for a new FDA commissioner, who will head an agency directly impacted by the Cures act. In this Forum, experts will explore the implications of the law for biomedicine, regulation, pharmaceuticals and patient advocacy.
This Forum event was presented jointly with STAT on February 27, 2017.

You should always seek professional help if you think you might be injured. This video should not be treated as professional medical advice.
I have studied physiotherapy and know a lot about these types of injuries but only someone that sees you in real life can diagnose your inquiry. Video Rating: / 5
