Recommended read! This valuable article shows the accordance of Lifestyle Medicine to conventional medicine within the WHO strategy and calls for a new paradigm of healthcare using multi-dimensional tools.

This policy and practice review article offers excellent insights into the WHO strategy on traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine from the perspective of academic consortia for integrative medicine and health. https://lnkd.in/g6cNVnvg The table in this article serves as a beacon of clarity, illuminating the distinctions between biomedicine, lifestyle, traditional, complementary, and IM. "Lifestyle Medicine is in accordance with modern science; the evidence for effectiveness is moderate and increasing, and acceptance by conventional healthcare providers is partial and increasing." "Research shows that lifestyle medicine is insufficiently appreciated, taught, and utilized in health care, even though there is growing evidence for its efficacy."

The newsworthy highlight from last month: Large integrative medicine center implements processes to measure and understand clinical effectiveness. "Led by a team of researchers at University Hospitals Connor Whole Health, a new study finds that collecting paper-based patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures of pain, anxiety, and stress is feasible—and that provider, operational, and clinical-level factors impact successful completion more so than patient factors."

A new study conducted by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine—and published in JAMA Internal Medicine—found that "improper placement" of a person's arm may be leading to "massive over-diagnosis" of high blood pressure (BP) for patients across the U.S. "We demonstrate that when the arm is completely unsupported and hanging at the side, as is often the case when arm support on a desk or chair is not possible or when a patient is seated on the examination table in a clinic room, BP is greatly overestimated," according to the study. "Furthermore, positioning the arm in the lap, a typical compromise for the above scenarios, also results in considerable BP overestimation. Thus, these arm positions should not be used, even in the setting of limited time or resources." Researchers said that incorrect blood pressure readings could lead to "substantial" over-diagnosis of hypertension and unnecessary follow-ups for patients.

🎥 Medical Innovations: From Skepticism to Breakthroughs 🌟 For years, integrative medicine has faced pushback, much like the revolutionary medical pioneers of the past. Yet history proves that groundbreaking ideas often start as radical and eventually become foundational. 🩺 Did You Know? - Louis Pasteur was mocked for his germ theory. - Barry Marshall drank bacteria to prove it caused ulcers. - Gut health and its role in diseases like Parkinson's? Once dismissed, now science-backed. I ntegrative medicine’s holistic focus on treating chronic conditions—like addressing the gut-brain connection in Parkinson’s—is finally being validated. Studies in 2024 have cemented the link between gut health and neurodegenerative diseases, a concept integrative practitioners have championed for years. 💡 The Takeaway What’s unconventional today may be tomorrow’s breakthrough.

Do you care about Prospective Health Care? Below is a link to a playlist of 7 videos featuring my 2005 lecture on "Integrative Medicine: A Foundation for Prospective Health Care." In this talk, I explored the contemporary healthcare landscape, highlighting its challenges and proposing a shift towards a prospective, personalized approach. Watch the lecture here: https://lnkd.in/ddPEZvac Delivered at NIH as part of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) Online Continuing Education Series, this lecture can possibly still offer insights into the potential of integrative medicine in enhancing health and healthcare delivery. The mission of NCCIH, to define the usefulness and safety of complementary and alternative approaches, aligns with our shared goal of improving health outcomes. I invite you to explore these videos and help by advancing our understanding of integrative healthcare!

"Are we offering the optimal sedation during the critical illness of our children?" This crucial question guided our recent study, published in Scientific Reports by Nature: Our research aimed to estimate the prevalence of delirium and identify the predisposing risk factors associated with an increased risk of delirium among children admitted to the PICU. This research will contribute to a deeper understanding of this prevalent and significant condition, ultimately leading to improved patient care and more informed clinical decision-making.
