Your Breast Lift Guide with Dr. Stephanie Teotia - eHealth Radio Network Summary: #Introduction Dr. Stephanie Teotia shares her expertise on breast lift procedures in this podcast episode. She discusses the benefits of a breast lift and what patients can expect during the process. #What is a Breast Lift? A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that lifts and reshapes the breasts to improve their appearance. Dr. Teotia explains the different techniques used in breast lift surgery. #Who is a Candidate for a Breast Lift? Ideal candidates for a breast lift are women who are unhappy with sagging or drooping breasts. Dr. Teotia discusses the factors that determine if someone is a good candidate for this procedure. #The Consultation Process During the consultation process, Dr. ai.mediformatica.com #surgery #patients #dallas #ehealth #plasticsurgery #this #breastfeeding #insights #digitalhealth #healthit #healthtech #healthcaretechnology @MediFormatica (https://buff.ly/4cQdRT9)

Diffuse Diabetic Macular Edema: A Fourth Pathogenesis is presented. Based on two newly-recognized pathogeneses, it seems confirmed that all DDME eyes treated for months/years by medications and/or grid laser are tractional. These pathogeneses are undetectable by the standard OCT imaging: 1) 3D-OCT for extrafoveal traction and, 2) transitional-phase type (previously termed 'vasogenic'); it is detectable only ultra-structurally. These pathogeneses explain and support the 92-100% achievement of durable macular drying by early PPV in naive-treated eyes. These also explain the failures in achieving durable macular drying by any of the current medications, including those under studies using various approaches. Therefore there is no need (for extrafoveal traction) or possibility (for transitional-phase type) to detect either of them prior to surgery. PPV, and grid laser in specific circumstances, are also associated with the lowest burden and cost. These and other insights are presented in my current Editorial article. A revised, pathogenesis-related DME classification (rather than diffuse and focal DME) is proposed. ARTICLE:  https://lnkd.in/d9wG536f

This adds to other research showing better outcomes when there are female physicians involved in patient care. Definitely need more exploration so we can all learn from the edge female doctors may bring. Ironically, patients often think my male medical student is the doctor and I’m the nurse. But hoping that unconscious bias will change. #womenphysicians #femalephysicians #womenphysicianleaders #physiciancoaching

We rely on data for many decisions in medicine- this is the latest of many articles describing improved patient outcomes for patients treated by female physicians. I am proud to be involved in ongoing women in surgery initiatives nationwide as well as Temple University - Lewis Katz School of Medicine #womeninsurgery #patientcare #spinesurgery

Radiology news & the importance/financial gains of investing in personnel training & professional development for Radiologists: Quality improvements and improved imaging capacity. Excerpt: "The American College of Radiology has formed the Prostate MR Image Quality Improvement Collaborative. Across nearly 2,400 exams audited, the average weekly rate of prostate MRIs meeting quality criteria increased from 67% (with a range of 60%-74%) at baseline up to 87% (80%-97%). Some of the most commonly deployed interventions included protocol adjustments, patient prep instructions and personnel training."

Thought provoking .... nicely written article from a patient's point of view. So much to say for genuine patient centred care! Things are not always black and white ..... and when they're not ..... we need to listen to the bigger picture. I found this refreshing and a reminder. We can all get so dogmatic in our care and sometimes "evidence based medicine", forgetting the original proviso that ALWAYS said the patients needs, wants and values are part of the process, can lead us to be more dogmatic than ever! Is it possible that we are creating more havoc than needed? #evidencebased #healthcare #patientcentredcare #societyandculture #dogma #AHPRA
