I am excited to have completed my first cycle of electronic billing. All I need at this time is to get back into the groove with a workers comp patient (which is another level of interesting). It feels great to be autonomous.

In the office all that is left is to finish decorating. A rug is on order, and I have started the puzzle, and I have a few key things to hang on the wall, but otherwise, its getting nice and cozy in here.

Its great to be back. Each day I discover a new task that needs to be ironed out and fixed, but even they are becoming rarer and rarer.

Cheers! Cant wait to see you back in the office!

Here is a snippet from a recent article on MIGRAINE HEADACHES The importance of nutritional factors:

Commenting on the research findings, Deborah I. Friedman, MD, MPH, a headache specialist in Dallas, said that Dr. Liu and colleagues' findings added to a growing information base about nutritional factors and migraine. For example, "low magnesium levels are common in people with migraine, and magnesium supplementation is a recommended preventive treatment for migraine."

Dr. Friedman cited a recent study showing that vitamin B12 and magnesium supplementation in women, combined with high-intensity interval training, "silenced" the inflammation signaling pathway, helped migraine pain and decreased levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide. A 2022 randomized trial found that alpha lipoic acid supplementation reduced migraine severity, frequency and disability in women with episodic migraine.

Vitamin D levels are also lower in people with migraine, compared with controls, Dr. Friedman noted, and a randomized trial of 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily saw reduced monthly headache days, attack duration, severe headaches, and analgesic use, compared with placebo. Other nutrients implicated in migraine include coenzyme Q10, calcium, folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B1.

"What should a patient with migraine do with all of this information? First, eat a healthy and balanced diet," Dr. Friedman said. "Sources of dietary zinc include red meat, nuts, legumes, poultry, shellfish (especially oysters), whole grains, some cereals, and even dark chocolate. The recommended daily dosage of zinc is 9.5 mg in men and 7 mg in women. Most people get enough zinc in their diet; vegetarians, vegans, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and adults over age 65 may need to take supplemental zinc."

Disrupted Gut Microbiome a Key Driver of Major Depression?

April 25, 2023

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is linked to disruptions in energy and lipid metabolism, possibly caused by the interplay of the gut microbiome and blood metabolome, new research suggests.

Investigators found that MDD had specific metabolic "signatures" consisting of 124 metabolites that spanned energy and lipid pathways, with some involving the tricarboxylic acid cycle in particular. These changes in metabolites were consistent with differences in composition of several gut microbiota.

The researchers found that fatty acids and intermediate and very large lipoproteins changed in association with the depressive disease process. However, high-density lipoproteins and metabolites in the tricarboxylic acid cycle did not.

"As we wait to establish causal influences through clinical trials, clinicians should advise patients suffering from mood disorders to modify their diet by increasing the intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, as these provide the required fuel/fiber to the gut microbiota for their enrichment, and more short-chain fatty acids are produced for the optimal functioning of the body," study investigator Najaf Amin, PhD, DSc, senior researcher, Nuffield Department of Population Health, Oxford University, United Kingdom, told Medscape Medical News.

High-dose vitamin D in patients with relapsing, remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) does not prevent relapse, results from a randomized control trial show. However, at least one expert believes the study's exclusion criteria may have been too broad.

The investigation of vitamin D to prevent relapse of MS is based on older observational studies of people who already had higher blood levels of vitamin D and were less likely to develop MS, study investigator Ellen Mowry, MD, Richard T. and Frances W. Johnson professor of neurology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, told Medscape Medical News.

Later research where participants were given vitamin D as a therapeutic option for MS "were disappointing as the vitamin D had minimal effect," she said.

Just picked this up on my Medscape feed. It is a reassuring thought. Dr. Ribakove

More than 26.4 million people in the U.S. have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, surpassing the country's 26.3 million COVID-19 cases reported during the pandemic.

The Monday afternoon milestone marks an early but hopeful moment in the race to end the pandemic, according to Bloomberg News. More than 52.6 million vaccine doses have been distributed, and 6 million people have received the second dose of their two-shot regimen, according to the latest CDC update on Tuesday.

The U.S. is now administering about 1.34 million doses each day, Bloomberg reported. Nearly 8% of Americans have received one or more dose, and almost 2% are fully vaccinated.

"That's worth celebrating. I'm all for that win," Paula Cannon, a professor of microbiology at the University of Southern California, told the news outlet.

As a follow up to my first Covid post today, here is a snippet of another article, discussing the new Variation of Covid 19 with a higher transmission rate. There are many factors here at play, and we must remain vigilant in our fight to keep up with universal precautions such as mask wearing, distancing, etc, because all the facts are not in. There are no guarantees that vaccines will be effective on the "new" variant, so we cannot let our guard down..

Scientists are monitoring a coronavirus mutation that could affect the strength of vaccines
ReprintsBy Andrew Joseph January 7, 2021
As scientists try to track the spread of a new, more infectious coronavirus variant around the world — finding more cases in the United States and elsewhere this week — they are also keeping an eye on a different mutation with potentially greater implications for how well Covid-19 vaccines work.The mutation, identified in a variant first seen in South Africa and separately seen in another variant in Brazil, changes a part of the virus that your immune system’s antibodies get trained to recognize after you’ve been infected or vaccinated. Lab studies show that the change could make people’s antibodies less effective at neutralizing the virus. The mutation seems to help the virus disguise part of its signature appearance, so the pathogen might have an easier time slipping past immune protection.

Covid-19 immunity likely lasts for years
A new study shows immune cells primed to fight the coronavirus should persist for a long time after someone is vaccinated or recovers from infection.

Covid-19 patients who recovered from the disease still have robust immunity from the coronavirus eight months after infection, according to a new study. The result is an encouraging sign that the authors interpret to mean immunity to the virus probably lasts for many years, and it should alleviate fears that the covid-19 vaccine would require repeated booster shots to protect against the disease and finally get the pandemic under control.
A new research study popped up in my Medscape feed this morning, and i wanted to share it with you. It suggests that some people that have had Covid or have been vaccinated for it, should have long lasting immunity. I rarely put a lot of faith in a single research study, and this is a small study, with a lot of variables, so lets just hope that this initial report is accurate. It is premature to make any widespread assumptions for many reasons. Fingers crossed, prayers this it encouraging news.... Dr. David Ribakove

This is a brand new article that dropped on Medscape. It is exciting news for treatment of depression and anxiety disorders without the use of medication.

Supplement Plus Probiotic May Improve Depressive Symptoms

Batya Swift Yasgur, MA, LSW

August 12, 2020

A combination of the supplement S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) and the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) HEAL9 may rapidly alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, new research suggests.

A team of Italian investigators randomly assigned 90 patients with subthreshold or mild-to-moderate depression to receive either SAMe plus L. plantarum HEAL9 or placebo for 6 weeks and found significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and cognitive symptoms as early as 2 weeks following treatment initiation.

"The effect of this novel product is independent from the severity of the symptoms, unlike traditional antidepressants available on the market that have minimal benefits for subthreshold or mild-to-moderate symptoms," write the investigators, led by Alberto Saccarello, MD, a physician in private practice in Genova, Italy.

The findings were published online recently in Primary Care Companion CNS Disorders
