PHE - Resources

Our 2020 virtual Reimagine event highlighted ISB's cutting-edge brain health research and our unique approach to studying and treating Alzheimer's and other diseases. Specifically, we featured some of our latest findings, the promise of multimodal therapies to slow and even reverse dementia, and testimony from caregivers who watched their loved ones succumb to Alzheimer's disease.

"Using an analysis from the University of Minnesota's COVID-19 Hospitalization Tracking Project, NPR has created a tool that allows you to see how your local hospital and your county overall are faring."

"New findings from a study of thousands of healthcare workers in England show that those who got COVID-19 and produced antibodies against the virus are highly unlikely to become infected again, at least over the several months that the study was conducted. In the rare instances in which someone with acquired immunity for SARS-CoV-2 subsequently tested positive for the virus within a six month period, they never showed any signs of being ill."

Mike Kurisu: This is an online symposia from my alma mater medical school. I was one of original founders a long time ago. I am not speaking this year but know all the speakers. I have registered and will get access to recordings and have Dennis post them all for you to view at your leisure.

DeAunne Denmark MD, PhD; Very interesting developments. Really hope this will start pointing toward more effective, targeted treatments. "Evidence is growing that self-attacking 'autoantibodies' could be the key to understanding some of the worst cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection."

Everyone ages at different rates. Our "true age" (also called "biological age") depends on how much inflammation we encounter in our lifestyle and environment, combining with our genetics. True age represents our capacity for resilience, in tolerating and recovering from these life stresses. By increasing this resilience, we could even get younger in true age! It requires frequent tracking of biomarkers like heart rate variability (HRV).

"The national map below displays those locations that have received shipments of monoclonal antibody therapeutics under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) authority, within the past several weeks. "

Recommended by: DeAunne Denmark, MD, PhD "It's important for the public to be aware of what's available to them in the world of genomics and precision medicine. Various resources are available that provide general and disease-specific information about genomics and precision medicine. A list of some resources available to the public is provided below, but additional resources are likely available through your health provider or other groups such as the US National Institutes of Health."

The resource index in this article is incredible.

"A growing group of lawyers are uncovering, navigating, and fighting the automated systems that deny the poor housing, jobs, and basic services."

Janice found this article. It looks highly relevant to her condition.

Dr. Cahana mentioned he is speaking tomorrow morning at The Virtual Blockchain in Healthcare Symposium #VBIHS2021   This link is a 9-hour feed from day one.  Lots to skim through. I suspect there is some great information to be 'mined' from all this. 

"Frequently asked questions for charities accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as crypto donors." As we explore blockchain health and all it implies, let's think outside the box about how PHE/PA can accept crypto donations.

Suggested by Gina Soloperta Abstract Background: Due to striking disparities in the implementation of healthcare innovations, it is imperative that researchers and practitioners can meaningfully use implementation determinant frameworks to understand why disparities exist in access, receipt, use, quality, or outcomes of healthcare. Our prior work documented and piloted the first published adaptation of an existing implementation determinant framework with health equity domains to create the Health Equity Implementation Framework. We recommended integrating these three health equity domains to existing implementation determinant frameworks: (1) culturally relevant factors of recipients, (2) clinical encounter or patient-provider interaction, and (3) societal context (including but not limited to social determinants of health). This framework was developed for healthcare and clinical practice settings. Some implementation teams have begun using the Health Equity Implementation Framework in their evaluations and asked for more guidance. Methods: We completed a consensus process with our authorship team to clarify steps to incorporate a health equity lens into an implementation determinant framework. Results: We describe steps to integrate health equity domains into implementation determinant frameworks for implementation research and practice. For each step, we compiled examples or practical tools to assist implementation researchers and practitioners in applying those steps. For each domain, we compiled definitions with supporting literature, showcased an illustrative example, and suggested sample quantitative and qualitative measures. Conclusion: Incorporating health equity domains within implementation determinant frameworks may optimize the scientific yield and equity of implementation efforts by assessing and ideally addressing implementation and equity barriers simultaneously. These practical guidance and tools provided can assist implementation rese
