The article below shows lipids (fats) are part of the body's battle armoury against pathogens, by understanding the mechanism of how they contain virulent bacteria we can develop other avenues besides antibiotics to help us in the future.

16.01.2022 Persistent anxiety a killer in coronary heart disease Clare Pain | 28 June, 2017 | 0 comments Read Later Persistent anxiety substantially increases the risk of death in people with cardiovascular disease, suggesting the need for psychological interventions in primary care, Australian cardiologists say.... In patients with stable coronary heart disease and persistent moderate-to-severe psychological distress, mortality rates are four times higher than their non-distressed peers, a long-term follow-up of the LIPID statin trial has found. The study, involving 950 patients at 36 centres in Australia and New Zealand, found that those with high scores for anxiety or depression over four years also had three times the risk of cardiovascular death over the 12 years of study follow-up. Previous studies have shown a link between anxiety or depression and increased mortality in patients with coronary heart disease. This was the first study to look at repeated psychological assessments over time, the authors wrote in the journal Heart. Related News: Anxietys effect on the heart is toxic Depression a risk factor for MI in women The data suggested that it was persistent distress that did harm, they said, but there was no link between persistent mild distress and mortality. Persistent moderate distress was an independent risk factor for both all-cause mortality and CV death, the authors wrote. These findings suggest that in patients with stable [coronary heart disease], long-term mortality risk is related to the cumulative burden of psychological distress. About 4% of the patients had persistent moderate distress and they could be suitable for interventions for managing anxiety and depression, the authors suggested. "The patients primary care or usual healthcare providers may be best placed to identify these patients, and consider appropriate interventions. Because repeated interactions are likely to be needed these may be more effectively undertaken by the patients primary care or usual healthcare providers, they added. Study co-author Associate Professor David Colquhoun, a cardiologist at the Wesley Hospital in Brisbane, said the findings confirmed what many patients suspected about distress and cardiovascular prognosis. Persistent moderate to severe distress what you feel is a major predictor of total mortality. The patients were right. People feel that if [theyre] stressed out its bad for their health and weve proven it, he told Australian Doctor. The mind certainly affects the heart and a persistent, miserable feeling, stressed about all things in life, does affect the heart. "What can we do about it? Well, we can try to minimise the fallout of distress if patients need appropriate help with psychologists and psychiatrists, we should do that.

As many as 40% of people will get it during their life, and it becomes more frequent as you age. Sciatica tends to get lumped in with regular back pain, but it is different.

10.01.2022 Low back pain is a leading cause of global disability- something that chiropractors are well aware of. The longer you have it, the more likely it can become intractable. Chiropractors treat the cause of low back pain. Taking pharmaceutcals to cover it up does not lead to lasting results and just makes harder to rehabilitate in the long term. See your chiropractor and get out of pain early.

10.01.2022 Chiropractic Patients Recover Faster, Spend Less Money Back pain is an expensive health problem for both patients and businesses. A 2012 study reported that we spend about $635 billion on pain every year, with a significant amount of that spent on back pain. Over the years, quite a few studies have shown that chiropractic care is more effective for back pain than medical care, plus chiropractic patients spend less money on their care than medical patients do. Because back pai...n is such a common problem, a group of Canadian researchers recently investigated the role that the type of primary caregiver has on financial compensation. This was a large study of 5,511 patients who experienced a work-related back injury in Ontario, Canada. The patients saw the following providers for their first visit: 85.3% saw a medical doctor 11.4% saw a chiropractor 3.2% saw a physical therapist The authors set out to compare the duration of financial compensation for back pain among patients from each care group. The study found that chiropractic patients had the shortest amount of time receiving compensation for their pain and also were less likely to have a recurrence. In addition, chiropractic patients didnt need to see other healthcare providers for their pain. 75% of chiropractic patients saw no other provider, while 58.6% of physical therapy patients also saw a medical doctor. The authors conclude: The type of healthcare provider first visited for back pain is a determinant of the duration of financial compensation during the first 5 months. Chiropractic patients experience the shortest duration of compensation, and physiotherapy patients experience the longest. **************************************************** http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10926-016-9667-9 See more

09.01.2022 Safe Work Australia warns on prolonged sitting when working from home Date:Monday, 13 July, 2020 - 12:30 Category: Industry news Location: National News One of the most significant factors impacting work health and safety when working from home is prolonged sitting, according to Safe Work Australia.... This year has seen an increase in desk-based workplaces transitioning to, or increasing existing, working from home arrangements to minimise the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace. Workplaces across the country have had to adapt their policies and procedures and consult with workers to ensure WHS(link is external) requirements are met even if workers are at home. Safe Work Australia has released a range of guidance materials and other resources for employers to assist with compliance through the coronavirus pandemic. Information and resources on WHS(link is external) duties and WHS(link is external) risks(link is external) associated with working from home are available online(link is external). Safe Work Australia also pointed out that workers have a responsibility to take steps and avoid prolonged periods of sitting when working from home. When working from home, the model WHS laws still apply. Just as in the office, your workstation must be set up in a way that is safe, comfortable and easy to use, the regulator said. A workstation that is set up incorrectly can create poor postures leading to injury and eye strain. The length of time that you sit in these postures also adds to the risk for injury and health problems associated with long periods of sitting. What you need to do to set up a safe workstation depends on the work you do, your environment and your individual needs. You have a duty to take care for your own health and safety while working from home and must follow any reasonable policies or directions your employer gives you about setting up your home-based workstation. Safe Work Australia recently announced its support of BeUpstanding(link is external), a free evidence-based program designed to address the WHS(link is external) risks(link is external) associated with prolonged sitting. Employers and businesses can trial BeUpstanding to gain access to resources and guidance on how to encourage workers to stand up, sit less and move more. The BeUpstanding(link is external) toolkit includes fact sheets, videos and email templates which are tailored to desk-based workers working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.S

05.01.2022 Researchers surprised GPs are still injecting steroids for tennis elbow Jocelyn Wright | 24 July, 2017 | GPs have not lost their enthusiasm for giving steroid injections for tennis elbow despite evidence that a wait-and-see approach is best.... A review shows GPs are using local injections at the same rate as they did 15 years ago. BEACH data for 1000 GPs from 2000 to 2015 indicate tennis elbow is a common problem, with a similar number of presentations (242,000 a year) as hip and knee osteoarthritis in primary care. Tennis elbow was most commonly managed with advice and education (29 per 100 consultations) or a referral to another healthcare provider, usually a physiotherapist (14 per 100 encounters). GPs used physical therapy or rehab in 16 per 100 consultations for tennis elbow Local steroid injections were used in nine out of 100 consultations for tennis elbow, and the rate of use did not appear to have diminished in recent years. Management largely follows what is recommended in the literature. That is, with the exception that there does not appear to be abatement of the use of corticosteroid injections in the 15-year census period, during which clinical trial research has not supported their use for tennis elbow, the researchers noted. They said the findings were surprising given that evidence indicated steroids provide only short-term relief of tennis elbow and may delay healing and increase recurrence. While resolution takes some time to manifest, the wait and see approach has been found to be superior to corticosteroid injections over the mid to long-term, they wrote. The findings led the authors to recommend clinical guidelines for GPs to promote more conservative management of tennis elbow. Dr Brooke Coombes, a physiotherapist and musculoskeletal medicine researcher from the University of Queensland, told Australian Doctor it was not clear whether GPs were still actively recommending steroid injections, or patients were asking for them, but the message was that there is no magic bullet for tennis elbow. It is important for patients to know that these [steroid injection] treatments provide short-term relief, but at a cost, she said. In six months time, were fairly confident some of those patients are likely to be worse off than if they didnt have the injection. Dr Coombes said another good reason for avoiding steroid injections was that people with tennis elbow often also had other musculoskeletal comorbidities, and clinical guidelines could offer a more tiered approach to treatment. A referral to the physio gives the opportunity to address not just the elbow but the other musculoskeletal conditions [as well], she said. The study also showed patients with tennis elbow tended to be female, middle aged (average age 49 years) and to have concomitant disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome and other tendonitis.
