NEW RESEARCH: Governments Can Support Better Access, More Efficient Healthcare Through Promotion of Self-Care

NEW RESEARCH: Governments Can Support Better Access, More Efficient Healthcare Through Promotion of Self-Care
Call for a WHO Resolution to kick-start necessary action

CAPE TOWN, South Africa - October 19, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

The Global Self-Care Federation (GSCF) has today launched the second edition of the Self-Care Readiness Index, examining how self-care policies are being implemented across the world. The first and second editions of the Index, together covering 20 countries, demonstrate very clearly that there is a widespread lack of a coherent view of self-care and its benefits.

Malebona Precious Matsoso,  Former Director General of the Department of Health, South Africa said: "Taking collective action to integrate self-care into the global healthcare continuum is the logical and critical next step as we move to re-evaluate the status of our healthcare systems. To support this, there needs to be a global compact on self-care at the international level, this will provide a frame for national-level policymakers to operate within."

The Self-Care Readiness Index (SCRI) is a research and policymaking tool which explores the key enablers of self-care in support of designing a better model for healthcare systems. It evaluates countries based on four self-care enablers, supported by measurable indicators of self-care readiness. The four enablers are stakeholder support and adoption; consumer and patient empowerment; comprehensive self-care health policies; and the appropriate regulatory environment.

Manoj Raghunandanan, Chair Elect at the Global Self-Care Federation said, "Self-care is a simple concept but it is not easy. It takes a concerted effort by governments, healthcare professionals, academia, industry, and ultimately, the population at large. But the potential rewards are high: better patient outcomes, more efficient healthcare systems and improved access to care."

Raghunandanan continued, "This research is clear: self-care is highly effective and efficient. In developed countries, empowering people to care for their own health reduces pressure on healthcare systems. And it is critical for low- and middle-income countries, where self-care can be an incredibly important tool for delivering the goal of universal health coverage, and may actually be the only healthcare option available."

The second edition of the SCRI covered Australia, Canada, Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. This complemented the countries covered in the first edition: Brazil, China, Egypt, France, Nigeria, Poland, South Africa, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Judy Stenmark, Director General at GSCF continued, "Self-care has to be a political priority for every single government across the world. And we are calling on WHO to urgently adopt a Resolution to support the synchronisation of self-care policies to create the momentum for this much-needed change."

The new SCRI is available here. It is a wide-ranging and comprehensive report, covering in detail the four enablers and the extent of self-care penetration in each of the 10 countries. It is the result of thorough research into each country's healthcare system, led by GSCF and in collaboration with the World Health Organization's Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicines and Integrated Health Services Unit, with the support of the eminent healthcare professionals who made up the Expert Advisory Committee.

ATLANTA - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

In September 2022, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded Alliant Health Solutions a three-year grant to establish a national center of excellence for building capacity in nursing facilities to care for residents with behavioral health conditions.

The Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health in Nursing Facilities (COE-NF) will serve as a centralized hub and national model for expanding capacity in nursing facilities to care for residents with a variety of behavioral health needs. The program will support resource development and dissemination to better serve residents with Serious Mental Illness (SMI), Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED), Substance Use Disorders (SUD), or Co-occurring Disorders (COD). Training, technical assistance, and workforce development will be provided for staff in nursing facilities. 

SAMHSA expects that this program will help to: (1) strengthen and sustain effective behavioral health practices and achieve better outcomes for nursing home residents with SMI, SED, SUD, or COD; and (2) ensure the availability of evidence-based training and technical assistance addressing mental health disorder identification, treatment, and recovery support services. Training and technical assistance will also be provided to support facilities in improving care for this population.

"Alliant recognizes that mental health is an important part of someone's overall health and well-being. Our support for the Center of Excellence Nursing Facility will provide necessary resources to support the nursing facility residents that have been diagnosed with behavioral health needs and will also increase awareness about how mental health and substance use affects millions of people and their families nationwide," says Dennis White, President and CEO at Alliant Health Solutions.

Drs. Todd H. Lanman and Jason M. Cuellar Become First Surgeons in the U.S. to Perform 3-Level ADR With Prodisc® C Vivo

Drs. Todd H. Lanman and Jason M. Cuellar Become First Surgeons in the U.S. to Perform 3-Level ADR With Prodisc® C Vivo
Todd H. Lanman, MD, and Jason M. Cuellar, MD, Ph.D., restore spinal motion in a woman with 4-level disc degeneration using "keelless" prodisc® C Vivo at three levels.

LOS ANGELES - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

ADR Spinal Restoration Center, Drs. Todd Lanman and Jason Cuellar are again breaking new ground in their pioneering efforts in multi-level artificial disc replacement. Drs. Lanman and Cuellar became the first surgeons in the United States to implant prodisc C Vivo at three levels of the cervical spine. The procedure was actually a 4-level ADR. The fourth implanted disc was the original prodisc® C. 

The patient is an extremely active 76-year-old woman who enjoys various physical activities. Her physical functioning had been limited by spinal cord compression at four levels in her neck. The cord compression in her neck was so severe that she had difficulty walking.

Given the woman's age, several spine surgeons recommended a 4-level laminectomy and fusion to treat her cord compression. The woman realized that fusing spinal four levels in her neck would put an end to her ability to take part in the activities she loves, including basic actions like driving a car. Drs. Lanman and Cuellar were the only surgeons to suggest artificial disc replacement rather than cervical spinal fusion.

While the prodisc® ADR platform is the most extensively studied artificial disc system in the world and the prodisc® C Vivo has been used outside the U.S. for more than a decade, the Vivo was only approved by the FDA in the summer of 2022.

Dr. Cuellar realized that the "keelless" design of the prodisc® C Vivo would likely be the ideal disc for the woman's particular anatomy at three of the four problematic spinal levels. Instead of keels, which are relatively tall fins on the superior (top) and inferior (bottom) endplates, the prodisc® C Vivo has short, lateral spikes that provide immediate fixation with a strength similar to other "keeled" prodisc® devices. 

"Everyone else wanted to fuse her spine at four levels," Dr. Lanman shared. "At 76 years old, she has the activity level of a much younger person. I couldn't bear to see more than half of her cervical spine fused." When asked how the patient is doing, Dr. Cuellar replied, "It is early, but she's doing great so far. She is certainly very pleased and very grateful. She left the hospital the following morning and took only Tylenol for minimal pain."

Todd H. Lanman, MD, and Jason M. Cuellar, M.D., Ph.D., are dedicated to spinal motion preservation surgery in the cervical and lumbar spines. They have each published over three dozen peer-reviewed scientific journal articles in the field. Dr. Lanman is an associate clinical professor at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, is affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Institute for Spinal Disorders, and is the founder and principal at ADR Spinal Restoration Center in Beverly Hills, CA. Dr. Cuellar is an associate professor of orthopedic surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, and has recently opened a practice in Miami and the Palm Beach area of Florida.

Why Millennials Should Consider a Secured Personal Loan

Why Millennials Should Consider a Secured Personal Loan
NEW YORK - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

iQuanti: Millennials grew up during the online lending explosion. As a result, personal loans are a popular borrowing option among the millennial generation for covering large expenses, refinancing debt, and building credit.

Secured personal loans are a particularly useful option. They require the borrower to provide a valuable item as collateral. Then, the lender can seize this and sell it to cover their loss if the borrower defaults. This reduces the lender's risk, which benefits the borrower in many ways. So, with that said, here are four reasons why millennials should consider a secured personal loan:

1. Can be easier to qualify for

If you're trying to get your first loan and worried about approval chances, secured loans are often easier to qualify for than unsecured loans. This is because the collateral offsets the lender's risk of you defaulting. As a result, the lender will be more lenient.

Some lenders also have less strict credit score requirements for secured personal loans. They might want to see factors in addition to your credit score, like proof of steady income and employment, to make an approval decision.

2. May be able to receive a larger loan amount

The collateral reduces the lender's risk, and the loan amount is often based at least partly on the collateral's value. This means you may be able to get a larger loan amount with a secured personal loan than an unsecured one. For example, if you have an investment account with $30,000, you may be able to use that as collateral to get a bigger loan.

3. May be able to get a lower rate

Again, secured loans are less risky to lenders. So, the lender won't charge you as high of an interest rate as an unsecured loan with the same amount and term length. This can help you save a substantial amount in interest over the life of the loan. Additionally, it can lower your monthly payment. As a result, you could fit your payments into your budget more easily and minimize the chance of defaulting.

4. Can help you build credit

Many millennials may be just getting started with their credit score, or they may have lower scores due to economic turmoil. Regardless, secured loans can be great tools for building your credit. Many loans that require a credit check report your payments to the credit bureaus, and a history of on-time payments can raise your score significantly over time. Since secured loans are easier to get, they can be a great first step in building or rebuilding your credit.

Secured loans can be excellent for some millennial borrowers

Many millennials could benefit from secured personal loans. The collateral offsets the lender's risk, so they're often more lenient with approval criteria. You can usually get lower interest rates and larger loan amounts than unsecured personal loans as well.

Secured personal loans can also be great credit builders for these reasons. Millennials with no or poor credit could get a secured personal loan and build credit through on-time payments. If you think a secured personal loan is right for you, shop around and get prequalified. This will help you find the right terms for your needs while minimizing hard inquiries.

"We are mindful that the most humble creatures with the smallest footprints are impacted every day by the choices we all make." - Nancy Jack, CEO and Co-Founder

This past summer, Nantucket Spider announced that they have become a fully remote company, thereby reducing their internal greenhouse gas emissions to zero. They are also working with their trade partners to further reduce emissions with sourcing.

Sustainability, Packaging & Ingredients: 

Nantucket Spider's products are all made with the lowest toxicity ingredient choices on the market and are packaged in recycled, recyclable, compostable and/or biodegradable packaging. Their latest line of cleaning products, Nantucket Footprint, are packaged without water and without plastic.

"We are honored and deeply grateful that Marci selected us to be the benefactor of this exciting and inspiring event," says BIGVISION Community founder Eve Goldberg. Eve lost her 23 years young son Isaac to an accidental opioid overdose in 2014.  She founded BIGVISION in 2015 to prevent other parents from experiencing the same tragedy.  BIGVISION redefines recovery as exciting and fun by providing young people free in-person and virtual activities to discover new passions, learn life skills, live productive lives, and represent a new normal—be proud of your recovery!  For more information, visit www.bigvisioncommunity.com. 

Marci is passionate about supporting BIGVISION because she believes "the younger you are, the more support you need to sustain early and long-term recovery."

The journey is about uncovering the root beneath addiction and creating your most fulfilling life through introspective work, prompts, education, and action items," says Marci.

31 ADHD Stories in 31 Days with Award-Winning Journalist and TV/Radio Personality Lindsay Guentzel and ADHD Online
Guentzel and ADHD Online partner to publish a podcast episode every day during October, providing information and support while breaking down stigmas about ADHD and mental health.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - October 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Lindsay Guentzel is an award-winning radio journalist, producer, mental health advocate, and host of Refocused with Lindsay Guentzel. In this podcast, she holds authentic and informative conversations with people from diverse backgrounds who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to explore the often misunderstood world of ADHD. And during October, ADHD Awareness Month, Guentzel, alongside ADHD Online, is publishing a podcast episode every day as a special edition series titled Refocused, Together.

"I remember visiting my therapist for the first time after my diagnosis, sulking in her chair in confusion and telling her — I can't believe I didn't see it," said Guentzel, who was nearly 35 when she was diagnosed with ADHD. "I felt like my diagnosis gave me clarity on my mental and physical health, the way I managed my career, my relationships, and my entire life, but I was still lost. The more I sought support following my diagnosis, the more I realized there wasn't a lot out there, and I wanted to change that."

Guentzel's struggle to find guidance on navigating the impacts of ADHD ignited a passion in her to create a space that provides support, resources, and a shared experience for others living with ADHD. And this month, Guentzel is focused on showing the world the many faces and journeys of ADHD to break down stigmas within mental health, offer relatability to anyone living with the disorder, and inspire those who have a loved one with ADHD on ways they can be supportive.

In the special edition series, Refocused, Together, Guentzel interviews guests across the country from diverse backgrounds and industries, ages 14-60, who walk listeners through their journeys with ADHD. From self-advocacy within the healthcare system to the implications of an ADHD diagnosis within different cultures, these authentic, informative, enlightening, sometimes challenging, and funny conversations aim to illuminate and help change the narrative and stigma around ADHD. 

At least 6 million children ages 3-17 in the U.S. have been diagnosed with ADHD. An estimated 11 million adults nationwide have been diagnosed with ADHD, many of whom were diagnosed for the first time in adulthood. By the mid-2010s, adults replaced children as the primary market for ADHD medication. The pandemic saw a rise in adult diagnosis, but even before then, between 2007 and 2016, reported instances of ADHD rose 123% in U.S. adults.

The podcast has also had a significant impact on its guests, too. "In some cases, guests have followed up and shared that the podcast helped them gain support from family and friends who were oblivious to their struggle until they listened to their episode," said Guentzel.

Some of the episodes Guentzel hosts in October will include:

●  Laura Hoyos and Creating Community - Hoyos shares the story of how she's working to break down stereotypes and educate and unite the Latinx community through her ADHD diagnosis.
●  Bryan Le and Taking this Journey with Loved Ones - Le shares his story on his diagnosis and ADHD within the Vietnamese-American culture. 
●  Amy Marschall - Marschall, a psychologist, spent a career diagnosing others with ADHD but was oblivious to her own ADHD.    
●  JeVona Maniex and Advocating for Yourself - Maniex shares her story of advocating for herself within an inequitable healthcare system and on the job.

Listeners can preview the series here: https://youtu.be/pZIqnXMNdU8 and tune in to full episodes on Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and Spotify.

Mike Pompeo served as the 70th United States Secretary of State from April 2018 through January 2021. He previously served from January 2017 to April 2018 as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

As our nation's most senior diplomat, Secretary Pompeo helped craft U.S. foreign policy based on our nation's founding ideals, putting America first. America became a massive energy exporter and a force for good in the Middle East, cementing real peace through the work of the Abraham Accords. 

In addition to serving as the keynote, Secretary Pompeo will also receive the Hearts Of Courage Lifetime Achievement Award for his dedicated service to the United States and commitment to ensuring the safety of its greatest ally, Israel.

Secretary Pompeo will be joined by a growing lists of world-renowned guests who include: Anat Sultan Dadon (Consul General of Israel to the Southeastern United States), Shlomi Nahumson (CEO of IDF Widows and Orphans Organization), Netanel Hershtik (Cantor of The West Hampton Synagogue - NY), Shahar Azani (SR VP of the Jewish Broadcast Service), Justice Enlow (Miss Tennessee USA, 2020), Jonathan Feldstein (CEO of Genesis 123) and Kim Walker-Smith (Grammy-nominated artist and acclaimed worship leader) who will be providing live entertainment for guests. 

The Hearts Of Courage Gala will bring leaders from across the globe together to honor the unbreakable bond between the United States and Israel. With proceeds benefiting the IDF Widows & Orphans Organization and Ark Of Israel's initiatives to unite America and Israel, this historic event will be a celebration as we come together to assist the most vulnerable among us.
