Komodo Health announced an agreement with Janssen Research & Development, LLC (Janssen) to accelerate clinical development using real-world data and AI software. The collaboration aims to optimize feasibility, site selection, and patient recruitment for clinical trials, ultimately driving higher throughput for trials and speeding life-saving therapies to patients.

As a leader in real-world patient data, Komodo builds software that advances clinical development by understanding the patient journey. The strategic partnership currently focuses on software solutions that offer real-time visibility into patient volumes, enhancing the ability to identify trial sites, increase target recruitment, understand patient cohorts before launch, and reach diverse patient populations.

“The next generation of clinical trials requires deep and timely insight into the patient journey,” said Aswin Chandrakantan, MD, chief medical officer, Komodo Health. “Whether targeting a large volume of diverse patients for a prevalent chronic condition or exploring breakthroughs for complex rare diseases, it’s crucial to understand where patients are progressing through the care system in order to improve efficiency in clinical trials.”

The collaboration spans a broad portfolio of therapeutic areas ranging from common chronic illnesses to ultra-rare diseases. Areas of collaboration include infectious diseases, oncology, vaccines, immunology, cardiovascular, and metabolic disease.

Built on Komodo’s Healthcare MapTM of 325 million U.S. de-identified patient journeys, the Komodo Health solutions being deployed include:

• Prism, to support feasibility, market sizing, protocol scenario planning, and patient cohort analytics
• Sentinel, for proprietary data integration, analytics, and site selection

If you have been prescribed Elmiron and experienced negative side effects, you could ask your doctor for alternative medication that can effectively treat interstitial cystitis (IC). Elmiron has been cited for causing long-term and permanent vision damage in some patients.

The controversial drug also comes with other side effects like hair loss and nausea. Here are some suggestions for what you can take instead of Elmiron if you need to continue treating your IC without worry about how Elmiron will affect you.

Taking Generic Elmiron  

At this time, there is no generic form of Elmiron available in the US. However, there are some online pharmacies that claim to have generic Elmiron. It is best to steer clear of such online drug stores; some of them are likely selling the medication illegally and have not been cleared by the FDA.

What to Take Instead of Elmiron

According to the Mayo Clinic, there are several alternative drugs you could take orally to treat interstitial cystitis. These medicines include:

• NSAIDs. These drugs are often used to relieve pain and can be purchased at your local grocery store. Ibuprofen and naproxen are effective treatments for the pain associated with IC.
• Tricyclic antidepressants. Medications like imipramine or amitriptyline can reduce pain in the bladder and make IC easier to manage.
• Antihistamines. If you normally take medications for seasonal allergies, you may notice that your IC is more manageable when you are taking antihistamines. Choose an allergy medicine with loratadine to prevent frequent urination and discomfort from IC.

Herbal Replacements for Elmiron  

If you prefer to take an herbal approach to treating IC, there are some natural remedies you could try to get rid of the pain and discomfort normally associated with IC.

Evening primrose, a North American plant, helps to relieve bladder inflammation. The herb is high in gamma-linolenic acid and can also be used to help other health conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. You could take evening primrose oil in tea form. Drinking the tea in the evenings can relax both the body and mind so you can get a good night’s sleep. Evening primrose oil is also available in capsules.

Kava is a native Polynesian plant that relaxes the muscles in the digestive tract and has a calming and analgesic effect on the body. You could take kava in a tea or capsule to help reduce the uncomfortable feeling you may experience in the pelvic area.

Kava is also an effective herbal treatment for anxiety and insomnia. It is important not to take too much kava since the herb can be toxic when ingested in large amounts.

St. John’s wort is another herb that has been proven to relieve some of the symptoms of IC. This perennial is native to Europe and has long been a treatment for depression, anxiety, and nervous conditions. If you’re dealing with the pain and swelling that comes from IC, you may experience anxiety and stress as well.

St. John’s wort can also help eliminate nerve pain and reduce swelling associated with IC. If you are already taking an antidepressant, you should refrain from taking St. John’s wort unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

If you are considering any of these medications, be sure to speak with your physician about any natural treatments you may want to try for IC. Some of these herbal remedies could interact with your prescription medication, which could cause additional health issues and make your IC worse.

However, most medications work well with natural remedies to help you craft a personalized long-term plan for IC care.

To Wrap It Up

Elmiron has caused many unwitting patients harmful side effects that could last for a lifetime. If you live in the New York area, you could learn more about recent New York law case investigations spurred by Elmiron. This info can help you choose the best drug alternatives and give you insight into the next steps to take if you need to file a lawsuit against Elmiron maker so you can receive a fair settlement for your injuries and pain.

Everyone knows that physical activity is beneficial for one’s well-being. But not many people are sure why exactly, which is one of the most important things to understand. Because once you know the true benefits and the importance, you’ll be more motivated to exercise and move your body, in order to feel better in your own skin. Also, the type of physical activity is a huge factor, which is why you should choose something that fits your lifestyle and your preferences. So due to that, here are some reasons why you should exercise if you want to be healthy and happy.

Regular exercise will teach you discipline

If you’re someone who struggles with regular exercising, chances are you might be dealing with a lack of self-discipline. This is quite common, so rather than trying new workouts, it’s better to find a way to be consistent and regular about your activity. Of course, finding the right type of workouts is important, but what’s more important is to stay consistent, because only then you’ll see rewards. Also, you don’t need to exercise every day but be sure to create a schedule that will work for you, so you’ll be able to work out regularly.

It will make you feel better 

There are a lot of research pieces that claim that regular physical activity can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. However, it’s crucial to point out that working out only won’t be enough if you’re dealing with serious mental health issues, but it can definitely boost the levels of dopamine and serotonin, thus making you feel better in the process. If you’ve ever felt positive after working out, now you know why. Biking, swimming, running, yoga and Pilates are all great ways to get in shape and balance the hormones responsible for your mental wellbeing.

Exercise can help you connect, even when away from home

Traveling and exercise can go hand-in-hand, that’s for sure. Granted, you might need to tweak your habits slightly, but if you’re serious about your workouts, then exercising can be a great way to meet new people and make friends. So if you ever find yourself traveling across the Middle East and Asia, you can always find a personal trainer in Abu Dhabi as that will give you a chance to be physically active even when away from home. Also, if you love traveling and yoga, just pack your yoga mat and go to the nearest park when you arrive at your destination. 

It will help you lose weight and boost your health

Working out on a regular basis is a great way to lose weight and improve your weight management skills. If you exercise consistently, you’re also improving the state of your muscle and bones, which will further contribute to better fitness while doing mundane daily tasks. Besides, regular exercise can also reduce inflammation and physical pains in your body, so if you’re dealing with any chronic illnesses, feel free to introduce some light exercises to your daily or weekly regimen. 

Your skin will look better 

In case you’re having issues with skin health, then exercise can help you there. There’s a thing known as post-exercise glow, and that is due to the production of anti-oxidants during the workouts. That way, your skin also looks younger and better, because antioxidants stimulate blood flow and skin cell repair, which is why working out is a great way to keep your skin healthy. 

Final thoughts 

Physical activity is crucial if you want to feel fit, happy, energized, and healthy. But, before you start working out, make sure to find exercises that are compatible with your lifestyle and overall levels of fitness. Exercising regularly is the best way to live a fulfilled and healthy life no matter your age and gender. 

Your eating habits can say a lot about your lifestyle. Therefore, if you’re a busy individual who doesn’t have time to eat properly, chances are you’d need to adjust your dietary habits to serve yourself better. Even if you’re not busy, it’s still important to take care of your diet, so you’ll be able to reap all the benefits of eating healthy. So if you’re looking to implement some positive dietary changes, then it’s important to learn how eating habits affect your health first. Because then, you’ll be able to change them for the better. Therefore, here are some insights on how this works.

Remove processed sugars from your diet

Processed sugars are the biggest culprit behind dental cavities, increased blood sugar, and obesity. Unfortunately, many foods get advertised as “sugar-free” while containing hidden sugars and other harmful ingredients. Now, this doesn’t mean you’d have to stop eating snacks and sweets completely, but reducing their intake might genuinely improve your wellbeing. Things like cakes, biscuits, ice-cream, and other confectionery products might be tasty, but they’re high in processed sugars and calories, which is why it would be smart to consume them occasionally, especially if you’re already dealing with chronic diseases such as diabetes. 

Don’t drink too much

A glass of red wine from time to time might be a good idea, but drinking too much can have bad consequences on your health. If you like indulging in a drink or two, that’s fine, as long as you drink in moderation. Alcohol can cause bloating and liver issues, therefore, it’s essential to watch your intake and practice self-discipline, especially if you enjoy drinking on a regular basis.

Change your approach to eating

A lot of our food issues stem from early and unmet childhood needs. If you tend to have a negative relationship with food, then it’s crucial to do something about it. Also, finding a way to include healthy snacks such as fruits, seeds and nuts might be a great way to eat healthier. Nuts are amazing in this instance, as they’re high in healthy fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, such as magnesium, calcium, and vitamin E. So it’s important to figure out what is the healthiest nuts to eat, so you’ll be able to make the best choice. Usually, nuts like almonds, cashews, peanuts, and pistachio are amazing due to their high nutritional value and other health benefits. On the other hand, bananas, apples and seeds like chia and pumpkin are great for your gut health, which is why you should eat more of them. 

Make water your go-to drink 

Water is the healthiest way to quench your thirst, despite what your preferences might say. Sure, there’s something amazing about drinking a glass of cold fizzy drink on a hot day, but these types of drinks are full of artificial flavoring and added sugars. Instead, it’s better to invest in a reusable water bottle, so you’ll have access to cold water no matter where you are. Also, your daily water intake should depend on your body weight, diet, and the amount of physical activity you have throughout the day. 

Give yourself time

If you spent your whole life eating without care, then changing your eating habits might be tricky. Therefore, if you ever find yourself going back to your old ways, don’t punish yourself by starving or being overly critical. Instead, accept the mistake and move on. Building the discipline required for healthy eating is often a long process, which is why it’s essential to give yourself room to learn and grow. 

Conclusion 

Your eating habits have a huge impact on your overall well-being. That’s why you should also aim to establish a healthy and balanced diet that will allow you to feel good in your own skin and live a healthy and fulfilled lifestyle.

Your skin is one of the most important organs in your body. You should do your best to keep it clean, and hydrated. However, there are various skincare products, and if you lack experience and knowledge, you might find yourself confused with so many choices, especially if you’re trying to get rid of acne. But, cosmetic products can help so much, because there are other habits that play a significant role. So here are some of those habits that can help clear your acne and make your skin look glowy and fresh.

1. Be consistent with your routine

Establishing a skincare routine is the first thing that you need if you want to reduce the appearance of pimples. Your ideal routine should be done at AM and PM, however, it’s up to you to determine which products you’d use when. Also, your routine should largely depend on your skin type and your other needs. However, when it comes to a healthy routine, consistency plays a huge role. Therefore, if this is troubling to you, then it’s better to have a simple routine that you’ll be able to do every day. 

2. Change your diet 

Your diet can have a significant impact on your skin, so if you tend to eat a lot of snacks, dairy, fried, and processed foods, then be sure to consider replacing some of them with some healthier alternatives. If you tend to get breakouts after indulging in too many sweets, then it would be wise to reduce your consumption of sugars, at least until your face clears. Eating more fruits and vegetables may not directly clear your skin, but they can help you feel better, which as a result, will prevent pimples from breaking out. 

3. Use some extra tricks and tools 

Sometimes, using some extra tools can be of huge help, however, you should be very cautious about it, especially if it’s your first time doing that. Things like a great hot towel for acne are a great way to reduce the bacteria on your face and keep your skin clear and soft. Also, if you’re well-versed in popping pimples, feel free to invest in special tools that will help you do that without using your fingers. That way, you’re also reducing the chance of infection. 

Finding some extra ways to take care of your skin is always a good idea, as long as you keep yourself (and your skin!) safe and clear. 

4. Consult a professional

Visiting a reputable dermatologist might seem scary at first, but if nothing works, it’s important to talk to a professional who’ll be able to give you the right treatment. Also, if you love pampering yourself, feel free to talk to a licensed esthetician who might use special treatments that will reduce sebum and minimize the appearance of pores. But, before you make an appointment, make sure that said esthetician or dermatologist has a good reputation. If possible, ask someone for a recommendation, and don’t forget to read the reviews and testimonials from other clients and patients.

5. Check your health 

In case your acne won’t go away, despite multiple efforts, maybe it’s time to make sure there are no other underlying health issues. Conditions such as PCOS (polycystic ovaries syndrome) can cause visible pimples due to the high production of androgen in your body, and androgen is known to also produce more oils in the skin. So if nothing else works, then you should see your physician ensure that there are no other health problems that might be causing breakouts.

Conclusion 

Clearing acne might be a bit timely process, which is why you should be patient and give it time. Eating a healthy diet, using some extra tools, having a consistent routine are important factors that might help you achieve clear, glowy, and perfect, healthy skin.

Hand hygiene is widely acknowledged as the cornerstone of total hygiene. Indeed, experts estimate that up to 80% of infections are spread byour hands. A recent pilot study, peer reviewed in the scientific journal ‘Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology’, has provided new evidence that serves to underline the crucial importance of hand hygiene – and it could have significant implications for the HORECA trade.

The study was carried out at theLeeds General Infirmary in the UK and explored whether the method of hand drying had a significant
impact on the transmission of microbes beyond the washroom environment to communal areas, wards and clinical areas. The scientists found that it is indeed possible for microorganisms from poorly washed hands to be transferred onto surfaces beyond the washroom environment by hands, clothing and skin contact. Furthermore, they found that contamination levels following hand drying with jet air dryers was on average 10 times higher than when drying hands using paper towels.

The higher potential for microbes to spread through the hospital following the use of jet air dryers is likely due to the increased risk of splattering on the user’s body and clothing. The study also foundtransfer of contamination from dried hands to items in close contact with healthcare staff and patients – such as telephones and stethoscopes.Objects and surfaces can serve as reservoirs for microorganisms that can be acquired by hand contact.

While these results are of course alarming in a hospital setting where vulnerable patients with compromised immune systems could potentially be put at risk, they should also ring a warning bell for the catering sector. If clothing and handscan transport microbes out of hospital washrooms and onto surfaces like telephones and instruments like stethoscopes in patient areas, then there is also the potential for viruses to travel from restaurant washrooms into dining and food preparation areas, borne on clothing, handbags and mobile phones.

The scientists took a thorough approach to the study methodology
Thehospital washroom studied was used by staff, visitors and patients. Researchers spaced out their study over a 5-week period and investigated the extent to which contamination could move beyond the washroom environment. They used a specialised virus that is harmless to humans, known as a bacteriophage, to represent the microbe contamination for the two hand drying options: paper towels and jet air dryers.

All the study volunteers tested both methods of hand drying, immersingtheir sanitised hands into the bacteriophage liquid before each trial and shaking them three times to remove excess liquid before drying. They also wore plastic aprons so that contamination on the body and clothing could be measured.

The three researchers – Ines Moura PhD, Duncan Ewin BSc and Mark Wilcox MD – sampled the palm and fingertips immediately after drying to measure baseline hand contamination levels. Volunteers then walked from thewashroom on a pre-set route that included public and clinical areaswhile the researchers collected samples from the surfaces along the way following contact with hands or apron. A stethoscope was placed around the neck with the chest piece and earpiece in contact with the apron for 7 minutes. Volunteers crossed their arms across their chest for 2 minutes and rested then on the arms of a chair for 3 minutes. Each surface was swabbed with a moistened sponge-stick and disinfected with chlorine wipes both before and after sampling.

Caterers should take note of the study findings
Anyone running a restaurant, café or hospitality business and needing to keep their staff and customers safe will want to reflect on the study’s findings and review the hand drying options that they are offering in their washrooms.

Pathogens can persist on hands for several hours and on surfaces for several months and the hand drying process is essential in minimising the risk of their spreading as residual hand moisture is associated with an increased transfer of microorganisms from hands to surfaces.

Previous studies have already established that the risk of bacterial contamination is lower when hands are dried with paper towels, and health authorities advising procedures in hospitals in Belgium, France and Germanyalready recommend the use of paper towels in washing areas.

Catering owners and managers would be well advised to install paper towel dispensers in their washrooms in order to promote hygiene and minimise the spread of infection throughout their establishment.

A pilot study to investigate whether microorganisms that remain present on poorly washed hands can be transferred beyond the washroom environment to clinical and patient areas has found that drying hands with paper towels as opposed to jet air dryers results in lower rates of virus contamination on hands and clothing. The consequences of these different rates of contamination remaining on hands after drying were measured by sampling a series of surfaces to determine the extent of transmission of a virus beyond the washroom.

The study, peer reviewed in the latest issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, was performed in a washroom in Leeds General Infirmary (UK) used by staff, visitors and patients. It was spaced over a 5-week period and investigated virus transmission beyond the washroom to surfaces in the hospital’s public and clinical areas.

A bacteriophage (a specialised virus that is harmless to humans) was used to represent microbial contamination following two types of hand drying: one using paper towels, and the other using jet air dryers. Volunteers sanitised their hands before immersion in a liquid containing bacteriophage; they did this twice, once with each hand drying method. Hands were shaken three times to remove excess liquid before drying. Volunteers also wore plastic aprons in order to be able to measure body/clothing contamination during hand drying.

All surfaces and samples investigated had bacteriophage contamination above the limit of detection following jet air dryer use. Contamination following hand drying with paper towels occurred on only 6 of 11 surfaces. For instance, simulated use of a hospital phone for 10 seconds resulted in detectable contamination following hand drying with jet air dryers. Trunk and clothing contamination was significantly higher following jet dryers use, compared to paper towels. On average, the levels of contamination of surfaces following hand drying with jet air dryers were 10-fold higher than with paper towels.

The researchers – Ines Moura PhD, Duncan Ewin BSc, and Mark Wilcox MD – sampled the palm and fingertips immediately after drying to measure baseline hand contamination levels before environmental sampling. Volunteers then walked from the washroom on a pre-set route that included public and clinical areas. Samples were collected from environmental surfaces following contact with hands or apron. A stethoscope was placed around the neck, leaving the chest piece and earpiece in contact with the apron for some 7 minutes. Volunteers also crossed their arms across their chest for 2 minutes and then rested them on the arms of a chair for 3 minutes. Each surface was swabbed with a sponge-stick moistened with neutralising buffer, and surfaces were disinfected with chlorine wipes both before and after sampling.

The findings suggest a higher potential for microbial spread through the hospital following jet air dryer use – likely due to the increased risk of splattering on users. This is concerning because objects and surfaces can serve as reservoirs for microorganisms and be acquired via hand contact. The significantly greater contamination of items in close contact with healthcare professionals and patients – such as phones and stethoscopes – following jet air dryer use is particularly concerning. Minimising the potential for microbe dispersal is a fundamental principle of infection prevention. This study showed that the microbial contamination of the user’s hands or trunk following jet air dryer use was directly and indirectly transferred onto surfaces via hand, clothing or skin contact.

The pilot study findings question the use of jet air dryers in a hospital setting, and support the recommendations of German hospitals and the French SF2H that paper towels should be the prescribed method of hand drying in healthcare settings.

About ETS
ETS is the European Tissue Paper Industry Association. The members of ETS represent the majority of tissue paper producers throughout Europe and around 90% of the total European tissue production. ETS was founded in 1971 and is based in Brussels.

The remarkable growth in the healthcare industry has been evident with the vast job opportunities created, especially in the homecare field. Backed with advanced technology and facilities, the homecare industry continues to gain prevalence worldwide considering the number of fast emerging jobs created to cater to the demands of the public.

Primarily, most people seek assistance from senior home care providers to ensure the quality of care given to their elderly loved ones. Various professional services, such as transitional care, companion care, and personal care are offered to the clients for a better chance of recovery.

Seeking professional assistance from senior homecare providers allows elderly people to achieve the quality healthcare that they deserve even at home. For a better understanding of this particular industry, you should know first what the industry is all about and the four reasons behind its remarkable growth.

The Emergence of Senior Homecare Services

One can’t deny the rapid growth of the senior homecare field in the healthcare industry. It’s because most people seek professional services to effectively cater to their loved one’s needs. Hiring competent caregivers allows you to provide adequate health care to your elderly family members through in-home care programs and assisted living facilities. Home health care in the Orlando area, for example, provides comprehensive suites of services and programs to their clients, including adequate personalized and in-home care.

The rising dominance of the senior home care industry in the healthcare field significantly helps in meeting the growing demands of the public. Major factors that contribute to its growth include the prevalence of chronic diseases, medical advancements, and the aging population.

According to studies, there have been approximately 1.3 million additional job opportunities created in 2020 within the homecare field. Aside from this, there has been a 69% growth in the home care health services. These studies also identified various factors which contributed to the growth of the senior homecare industry.

4 Reasons Behind The Rapid Growth Of Senior Homecare Industry

Caring for your elderly family members or loved ones can be a daunting task, especially if you’re new to this. Fortunately, you can now acquire professional help from senior homecare providers to better cater to your family member’s needs. While acquiring personal knowledge about senior care might help, seeking assistance from competent caregivers can also be of great help to you and your family.

Some of the primary factors which significantly contribute to the rapid growth of the senior home care industry include:

1. Affordability

Hiring someone to cater to your loved ones’ needs can be expensive. This is why seeking the help of local senior home care providers in your area can be of great help to you. At an affordable price, you can now give adequate healthcare services to your family members.

Compared to spending money on nursing homes and assisted living facilities, senior homecare services are usually more affordable and ideal for people who are looking for cost-wise senior care Brooklyn.

2. Convenience

Providing a convenient route for people to get the assistance that they need is one of the core values of the senior homecare industry. Rather than bringing your elderly patients out for their home care appointments, the homecare industry can provide them at your homes.

The senior homecare industry also offers various benefits to both clients and workers. For example, people who are interested in working in the homecare field can now choose from a variety of job opportunities that suit their interests and expertise. Also, hiring additional people helps in the rising growth of the homecare industry to further meet the demands of the clients.

3. Increasing Demands

One of the primary factors that contribute to the growth of the senior homecare industry is the rising demands from the public. Various in-home services are created to cater to the needs of the senior population, especially to help their recovery and rehabilitation. Caregivers provide great help in monitoring the condition of the patient, giving attention to the needs of the clients, and making sure that they’ll be well taken care of even at home.

Also, recognizing the needs of the clients, as well as the caregivers makes for a better caregiver matching. This is the process of assessing the needs of the clients, their preferences and hobbies and matching them to the skills of the caregiver.

4. Growing Senior Population

The senior homecare industry significantly helps in catering to the needs of the rising senior population. New models of home care, along with the new types of comprehensive services and programs are created to further prioritize community-based care for the senior population.

Though faced with problems of workforce availability, the senior homecare industry continues to strive through the years to better meet the demands of their clients. Also, the combination of competent caregivers, an adequate workforce, and advanced technology can help boost the quality of services provided by the senior homecare industry.

Conclusion

Caring for your loved ones shouldn’t be as difficult as it seems. With the help of various senior home care providers, giving your elderly loved ones the care that they need is now easier than before. Tailored services, including companion care, respite care, and personal care are services that you can choose from in order to give your family members the help they deserve.

Seeking professional help from registered home care providers is also a useful tool in giving elder people the quality health care that they need to achieve a long and meaningful life.
