Syracuse University and Upstate Medical are collaborating to bring memory screenings to Central NY area offices for the aging. The project is the first step in a plan that could possibly make such screenings available at offices across New York. https://lnkd.in/esBiUUZf

It was my pleasure discussing how to recognize dementia versus normal aging to Capital Healthy Living seniors. The participants were given tools for maintaining a healthy brain. #community #memory #communityeducation #qualityoflife #cognitivehealth #healthyliving #brain #brainhealth #healthy #minddiet #physicalactivity #cognitiveexercises #socialconnections #healthyeating

Social work, medicine and law work together to cover the landscape of advance care planning. What a nice team effort to reach more of the population with the things they need brought together. https://lnkd.in/gQpd8Syq

Another great example of how academic medicine can impact communities. This grant effort, led by Sharry Veres MD, MHSM, FAAFP , Jonathan Cartsonis and Dr. Katie Brite Hillis will help expand Primary Care in rural and underserved areas in Arizona. https://lnkd.in/giui5zZd

Christopher Lyon responded to two Canadian authors Beuthin Rosanne and Anne Bruce who largely lauded the positive experiences of some Canadian #MAID #euthanasia providers in the journal Death Studies, which they frame as experiences of "human connection", evoking feelings of "conviction, courage, compassion, and intimacy". I highly recommend reading the full exchange, with response to the article by Christopher Lyon, then a response by the authors, then another response by Lyon. Particularly also international colleagues will get a sense of the at times mesmerizing adulation of the practice in some Canadian publications. Lyon points to some troubling issues, including lack of clear statement of conflict of interests, failure to discuss broader context and concerns, and methodological issues. He concludes : "Beuthin and Bruce serve not a carefully contextualized piece of narrative-hermeneutic research but instead a transcript of a self-referential conversation between a MAID coordinator, a sympathetic nursing professor, and some of their more active provider colleagues who share complimentary and complementary views of the experience of taking lives.?Indeed, in the hermeneutic and broader norms of scholarship, the publication of a text is an invitation to interpretations by others outside “the narrowness” of the “vision, prejudices, and focus” of those who produced it." Instead of being reassured by the authors' analysis, he rightly suggests: "their work draws attention to the privileged position of [#euthanasia #MAID] providers... As such, it is entirely appropriate to critically examine how MAID practitioners characterize their work, and how it is portrayed by others."

Please read Jocelyn Cohen’s published piece in Pediatric Research about aging with #CP. In her words: "Adults with CP have always had to contend with the novel ways our bodies interact and intersect with what medicine knows and society expects. As we navigate each decade, we need researchers and clinicians to be medical allies — people who make it their mission to ask the deeper questions, ?nd the answers, and collaborate to ensure that the answers make their way to everyone with cerebral palsy and the people who treat us. People who are open, understanding, and empathetic, embracing the fact everything that happens to any person as they mature, live, and age will also happen to people with cerebral palsy."

Heart Failure (HF) affects over 6.7 million Americans, which often develops with aging. People with HF are twice as likely to experience mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia as those without heart conditions. Associate professor at the Indiana University School of Nursing, Miyeon Jung, is pioneering innovative ways to address the cognitive dysfunction often experienced by people living with HF.
