We knew very little about patients’ perspectives on the burden that myocardial infarction (MI), also known as a #HeartAttack, has on quality of life. This study found that MI places a significant burden on all aspects of patients’ lives. For more, see: institutionalrepository.aah.org/jpcrr/vol12/...

Patients can experience persistent symptoms consistent with #hypothyroidism despite #thyroid lab values in the normal range. These symptoms reduce quality of life despite a proper diagnosis, and patients want #physicians to take such symptoms seriously institutionalrepository.aah.org/jpcrr/vol12/...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is another way besides #antibiotics to treat #periodontitis, or #GumDisease, which damages the tissues that support teeth. It's cost-effective and a good option for patients for whom periodontal surgery is not an option. institutionalrepository.aah.org/jpcrr/vol12/...

For Morgan Tempo, a 59-year-old woman with chronic lower back pain, the result of degenerative changes at multiple lumbar levels and mild spinal stenosis, only #hydrocodone + #acetaminophen, or #Tylenol, eased her pain. #PainManagement institutionalrepository.aah.org/jpcrr/vol8/i...

Tylenol, or paracetamol, has been used to treat common pains and fevers since 1893, and is one of the safest drugs around

go.nature.com/3IDUgva

Tylenol is over 130 years old — why is it still the gold-standard painkiller?

Acetaminophen is one of the safest drugs around, but scientists still don’t know how it reduces pain and fever.

Today is #WorldPatientSafetyDay

Children aren’t small adults. They need safe care tailored to their:

🧸 Age
🧸 Weight
🧸 Development
🧸 Medical needs
🧸 Ability to communicate
🧸 Context

Learn why we need to ensure safe care for all children from the start👉 bit.ly/WPSD2025WHO #PatientSafety

A graphic for World Patient Safety Day 2025 with the title “Why is safe health care for children so important?”. It shows two children holding flowers at the top. Four key points are highlighted: (1) Children face higher risks – even small errors can cause lifelong harm. (2) Children need care that fits their age, weight and development. (3) Children can’t speak up — they rely on adults to keep them safe. (4) Safety takes teamwork — families and health workers working together.

#FactCheck Friday! Generic drugs are duplicates of brand name meds, without the high price. TRUE! They're produced using the same formula once a brand name company's patent expires and carefully tested/approved by the #FDA to ensure they work just as well. www.ahchealthenews.com/2025/08/12/b...

Brand name or generic? Here’s what to know | health enews

A generic drug is essentially a duplicate of a brand name medication, without the branded packaging and price tag.
