I spoke with Celeste Abjornson, PhD, from Hospital for Special Surgery, about early results of an investigational device exemption clinical trial for the treatment of symptomatic #cervical disc disease at two levels with the prodisc C Vivo implant or prodisc C SK implant compared with the Mobi-C implant. At 50% of patients reaching 24-month follow-up, results demonstrated similar success outcomes in both groups. If the study continues to trend similarly until final data, it will confirm noninferiority of the investigational implant to the FDA-approved control-arm implant at two levels, according to researchers. “Studies like this show that the results, regardless of design, are promising and that there is going to be a paradigm shift in the marketplace," Abjornson told Healio. "In the future, looking at studies like this will adjust a surgeon’s thinking to [consider patients for] a disc #replacement first and then look at #fusion as a secondary option, where in the past, surgeons looked at fusion because that was the classical standard.” https://lnkd.in/e2Bqcnp9

It was my pleasure, on behalf of Healio, to interview AAD president, Seemal R. Desai, MD, FAAD, about the impact that the recent CMS budgetary cuts to the physician fee schedule have had on physician practices and patient health care access. While the AAD advocates for reform, I'd like to thank any physicians out there who are struggling to keep their doors but are still showing up every day for their patients. I'd also encourage everyone to read about this issue and contact your congressmen, congresswomen and senators. Change starts with you. #CMS #healthcare #dermatology #physicianfeeschedule

We’ve all heard of?#ozempic?but what’s oatzempic? ?? With the popularity of GLP-1 receptor agonists, the health care industry has seen a boom of various supplements and products claiming to offer similar results on the market, including celebrity endorsed dupes. Healio's Emma Bascom spoke with Fatima Cody Stanford, MD, MPH, Sarah C Nosal, MD, FAAFP, and Wudeneh Mulugeta, MD, MPH, FACP, about what health care professionals can expect from their patients with this trend and what they can do to combat it. “When celebrities and influencers endorse health products, they can significantly influence consumer behavior due to their large followings and perceived authority,” Fatima Cody Stanford, MD, MPH, told Healio. What can you do? ?? Provide evidence-based, accurate information to help patients make informed decisions. ?? Help patients critically evaluate health claims. ??
