Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can be beneficial in some situations. It can alert us to dangers and help us prepare and pay attention. Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings of nervousness or anxiousness and involve excessive fear or anxiety. Anxiety disorders are the most common of mental disorders and affect more than 25 million Americans. But anxiety disorders are treatable and a number of effective treatments are available. Treatment helps most people lead normal productive lives. Common anxiety signs and symptoms include: Feeling nervous, restless or tense. Having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom. Having an increased heart rate. Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation) Sweating. Trembling. Feeling weak or tired. Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry. The most common Anxiety disorders are: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) A person feels anxious on most days, worrying about lots of different things, for a period of six months or more. … Social anxiety. … Specific phobias. … Panic disorder. … Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) … Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) When to see a doctor or therapies See your doctor if: You feel like you’re worrying too much and it’s interfering with your work, relationships or other parts of your life Your fear, worry or anxiety is upsetting to you and difficult to control You feel depressed, have trouble with alcohol or drug use, or have other mental health concerns along with anxiety You think your anxiety could be linked to a physical health problem You have suicidal thoughts or behaviors — if this is the case, seek emergency treatment immediately Your worries may not go away on their own, and they may get worse over time if you don’t seek help. See your doctor or a mental health provider before your anxiety gets worse. It’s easier to treat if you get help early. Treatment Treatment decisions are based on how significantly generalized anxiety disorder is affecting your ability to function in your daily life. The two main treatments for generalized anxiety disorder are psychotherapy and medications. You may benefit most from a combination of the two. It may take some trial and error to discover which treatments work best for you. Medications Several types of medications are used to treat generalized anxiety disorder, including those below. Talk with your doctor about benefits, risks, and possible side effects. Psychotherapy Also known as talk therapy or psychological counseling, psychotherapy involves working with a therapist to reduce your anxiety symptoms. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is the most effective form of psychotherapy for generalized anxiety disorder. Family checking in Generally a short-term treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on teaching you specific skills to directly manage your worries and help you gradually return to the activities you’ve avoided because of anxiety. Through this process, your symptoms improve as you build on your initial success. Treatments for Anxiety can be extremely effective when started early and continued with consistency. If you live with anxiety, help is available. Call us, at Your life change center, we can help you!!   Beyond Treatment: Things You Can Do? Here are other tips that may help you or a loved one during treatment for anxiety: • ​Try to be active and exercise. • ​Set realistic goals for yourself. • ​Try to spend time with other people and confide in a trusted friend or relative. • ​Try not to isolate yourself, and let others help you. • ​Expect your mood to improve gradually, not immediately. • ​Postpone important decisions, such as getting married or divorced, or changing jobs until you feel better. Discuss decisions with others who know you well and have a more objective view of your situation.

Depression: breakthroughs in Individual Therapy A major depressive disorder is a serious medical illness affecting an estimated 18 million American adults. CDC estimates that 8.1 percent of American adults ages 20 and over had depression in any given 2-week period from 2013 to 2016. One in eight middle-aged women in the United States has depression, a new report finds. This means that women ages 40 to 59 have the highest rate of depression (12.3 percent) of any group based on age and gender in the U.S., according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among Americans ages 12 and older, 9.5 percent of females and 5.6 percent of males had moderate or severe depression  Abuse. Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse can cause depression later in life. The focus of Individual Therapy efforts center on areas of individuals’ lives that they have a concern. These areas commonly involve conditions that are causing a great deal of distress in the individual’s life.  Individual therapy has proven fundamental in treating depression. WHAT IS DEPRESSION? Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home. Depression is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, thinks and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. To be diagnosed with depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks. Some forms of depression are slightly different, or they may develop under unique circumstances, such as: • ​Persistent depressive disorder​ • Postpartum depression • Psychotic depression​ • Seasonal affective disorder • ​Bipolar disorder high – euphoric or irritable – moods called “mania” or a less severe form called “hypomania.”   WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION? If you have been experiencing some of the following signs and symptoms most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks, you may be suffering from depression: • ​Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood • ​Feelings of hopelessness, or pessimism • ​Irritability • ​Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness • ​Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities • ​Decreased energy or fatigue • ​Moving or talking more slowly • ​Feeling restless or having trouble sitting still • ​Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions • ​Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping • ​Appetite and/or weight changes • ​Thoughts of death or suicide, or suicide attempts • ​Aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems without a clear physical cause and/or that do not ease even with treatment   Not everyone who is depressed experiences every symptom. Some people experience only a few symptoms while others may experience many. Several persistent symptoms in addition to low mood are required for a diagnosis of major depression, but people with only a few – but distressing – symptoms may benefit from treatment of their “subsyndromal” depression. The severity and frequency of symptoms and how long they last will vary depending on the individual and his or her particular illness. Symptoms may also vary depending on the stage of the illness.   WHAT ARE THE MAIN CAUSES OF DEPRESSION? There are a number of factors that may increase the chance of depression, including the following: • Abuse. Past physical, sexual, or emotional abuse can cause depression later in life. • Certain medications. For example, some drugs used to treat high blood pressure,

#Coronavirus (COVID-19): lo que las personas con cáncer de VEJIGA, PROSTATA O RIÑON necesitan saber. Coronavirus & Cancer, Dr. Parra Raul Parra, M.D. Jefe de Urología  Oncologica A medida que se siguen desarrollando noticias sobre la propagación y la gravedad de COVID-19, nuestra primera prioridad es ayudar a mantener seguros a los pacientes con cáncer de VEJIGA, PROSTATA O RIÑON,  sobrevivientes, cuidadores y sus seres queridos. Hoy estamos  haciendo esta video para apoyar a la comunidad durante este momento alarmante, y todo se reduce a esto: no estás solo. Para ayudarlo a usted y a sus seres queridos, hemos  reunido recursos para conectarlo con el apoyo de la comunidad, responder preguntas frecuentes específicas sobre el cáncer de VEJIGA, PROSTATA O RIÑON y COVID-19, y para ayudarlo a encontrar asistencia directa si la necesita.  Y mucho mas importante es comunicarlo en nuestro idioma y de esta manera tener mas claridad, entendimiento y que las recomendaciones sean o puedan ser entendidas mas directas. La nueva enfermedad respiratoria comúnmente conocida como "coronavirus" y oficialmente llamada COVID-19 ha cambiado la vida tal como la conocemos en el futuro previsible. Puede ser alarmante escuchar informes de noticias sobre la propagación del coronavirus, el cierre de ciudades y expertos que nos dicen que nos quedemos en casa y limitemos el contacto con otros.  Adaptarse a esta nueva normalidad donde las escuelas y las empresas están cerradas puede ser difícil, y muchos están preocupados por cómo se verán afectados sus trabajos y finanzas.  Para las personas con problemas de salud graves, como el cáncer de VEJIGA, PROSTATA O RIÑON y sus seres queridos, la incertidumbre de esta situación, la necesidad de distanciamiento físico y las posibles demoras en los tratamientos contra el cáncer pueden ser especialmente angustiantes.  Es muy importante saber que las personas que reciben tratamiento para el cáncer de seno pueden tener un mayor riesgo de enfermedad grave si se infectan con este coronavirus.  Algunos tratamientos para el cáncer de VEJIGA, PROSTATA O RIÑON, que incluyen quimioterapia, terapias dirigidas, inmunoterapia y radiación, pueden debilitar el sistema inmunitario y posiblemente causar problemas pulmonares.  Las personas que tienen sistemas inmunes debilitados o problemas pulmonares tienen un riesgo mucho mayor de complicaciones si se infectan con este virus. Las personas con cáncer de VEJIGA, PROSTATA O RIÑON que ha hecho metástasis (diseminación) a los pulmones también pueden tener problemas pulmonares que pueden empeorar si desarrollan COVID-19.  Además, muchos hospitales y proveedores de atención médica están retrasando las cirugías "electivas", los exámenes de detección y otros procedimientos, que se consideran no urgentes o que no ponen en peligro la vida de inmediato. Estas decisiones difíciles se toman caso por caso para proteger a las personas con cáncer de la infección y para asegurarse de que los proveedores de atención médica tengan los recursos que necesitan para tratar a las personas que se enferman gravemente de COVID-19. El Centro para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) dicen que el riesgo actual de infectarse con este coronavirus sigue siendo bajo para la mayoría de las personas aquí en los Estados Unidos. Pero el CDC esperan que el virus se propague aún más en los próximos meses, por lo que es importante escuchar a los expertos en salud que recomiendan quedarse en casa, limitar el contacto con otras personas y seguir otras precauciones. #cancer #cancerDeProstata #teaneckNJ #HolyNameHospital #DrParra #westnewyorknj #MDTVNews   Raul Parra, MD Chief, Urological Oncology Holy Name Medical Center Specializes in: – Oncology – Surgical Oncology – Urologic Oncology – Urology Office Location: 718 Teaneck Road  Teaneck, NJ 07666 Phone: 201-541-5960 Fax: 201-541-5988 Website: www.holyname.org/westnewyork

Prostate Cancer and Current  Diagnostic Tools, Dr. Parra In American men, prostate cancer is only behind skin cancer as the most common form of cancer. Statistics showed in the U.S. there were about 164,690 new diagnoses of prostate cancer and about 29,430 death from prostate cancer in 2018. In their lifetime 1-9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and 1 in 41 of those diagnosed will succumb to complications related to the disease. The five-year survival rate for prostate cancer patients falls to 29% when prostate cancer metastasizes and spreads through the body. This staggering decline in survival rate highlights the serious disadvantages the NCCN recommended treatments have when trying to treat prostate cancer that has spread, become treatment-resistant, and recurrent. Prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, is a protein produced by normal, as well as malignant, cells of the prostate gland. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in a man’s blood. For this test, a blood sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. Until about 2008, some doctors and professional organizations encouraged yearly PSA screening for men beginning at age 50. Some organizations recommended that men who are at higher risk of prostate cancer, including African American men and men whose father or brother had prostate cancer, begin screening at age 40 or 45. However, as more was learned about both the benefits and harms of prostate cancer screening, a number of organizations began to caution against routine population screening. Most organizations recommend that men who are considering PSA screening first discuss the risks and benefits with their doctors. PROSTATE IMAGING: a new horizon in early prostate cancer detection and treatment Recent advances in MRI, including Mp-MRI (“Multi-parametric” testing using a 3T scanner)imaging, have changed everything. The latest generation of MRI machines called 3 Tesla, or 3T machines, scan at a much higher resolution than the earlier machines. They enable radiologists to see all but the tiniest tumors. The tumors that they can’t see almost certainly don’t matter. MRI scanning for prostate cancer could also help a quarter of a million men, maybe up to half a million men a year, to avoid an unnecessary biopsy if the MRI is negative.  Scanning the prostate in men with PSA elevation is a brand new approach that is more reliable than the old-fashioned method of using 12 random needle sticks. However, this claim is only accurate when using the very latest state-of-the-art MRI technology at approved centers. This technology is so new that finding doctors willing to abandon the old random needle biopsy approach is still a major challenge. The majority of men will be reassured they don’t have prostate cancer and importantly they may be able to avoid the harms of a biopsy, plus healthcare systems will be able to avoid the costs. MRI is the perfect tool because it’s relatively cheap, widely available and reliable Raul Parra, MD Director of Urologic Oncology Specializes in: - Oncology - Surgical Oncology - Urologic Oncology - Urology Office Location: 718 Teaneck Road  Teaneck, NJ 07666 Phone: 201-541-5960 Fax: 201-541-5988 Website: www.holyname.org/westnewyork Raul O.

Regulatory Adverse Actions and the Domino Effect Beware of the Domino Effect!!! Any form of discipline on your record can create a domino effect that has an impact on which insurers you can participate with, your hospital privileges, and licensure in other states. If you’ve been disciplined in one state, you must report it to all other states you’re licensed in. If you don’t, you can lose your license in those states. Not many doctors are aware of the fact that a relatively small disciplinary matter handled by a state medical board may ultimately affect not only that doctor’s ability to practice but also his hospital privileges, CDS prescribing privileges, status with Medicare and insurance carriers, ability to maintain medical malpractice insurance and ultimately, their public reputation. This question inevitably generates surprised and quizzical looks from physicians not familiar with the vast network of reporting mandated by state and federal law. Whether or not they, a member of their practice, a friend or a relative is the subject of discipline at the peer review level, physicians should become familiar with this strict “early warning” system. This mandatory reporting mechanism alerts other state’s medical licensing boards, HMOs, hospitals, patients, the Drug Enforcement Agency, insurers, specialty certification boards and other relevant parties when a physician has had his or her hospital privileges restricted, modified or suspended. The workings of this reporting system are unknown to most outside of its monolithic network.  #HealthCareLaw #AlexKeoskey #medicalcomplaint #medicaldisciplinaryaction #medicallicensesuspension #NJ #njlaw #Lawyers #Physicians #njphysicians #medicalboard #healthlawyer #medical #BreastCancer #LungCancer #cll #ProstateCancer #obesity #hypertension #strokes #OvarianCancer  #pancreaticCancer #breastcancerawareness  #digitaltv #ny #bestmedicalnews #dermatolgy #oncology #painmedicine #spinesurgery #orthopedics #medicine  #mddigitastv #mdtvonline #mdtvnews #oncology For more information visit: www.mddigitastv.com https://mddigitastv.com/how-states-regulate-their-doctors-and-why-doctors-should-take-note/ Alex J.

HOW COMMON ARE DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS AGAINST DOCTORS ?‬ ‪“NJ Board of Medical Examiners receives around 1000 complaints per year”‬ The Power of Licensing Boards The “thorn on the side” driving the ire of most doctors is, of course, malpractice lawsuits. A civil action, based on allegations only, brought by an attorney on behalf of a private party in a court of law, seeking monetary damages from that doctor’s insurer, is the most common scenario conjured up when one thinks of “malpractice”. These lawsuits are now so common that special judges are often assigned exclusively to their adjudication. The issue of tort reform and the ever-increasing vigilance associated with risk management is familiar to every health care practitioner in the United States today. Many outside of the medical profession, not familiar with health regulations, still believe that the primary penalties for “bad doctors” is a negative verdict or whopping settlement stemming from these actions. However, medical practitioners who have undergone the crucible of a medical board action will quickly advise you that there is nothing as stressful and upending as a disciplinary action by a state medical board. Note that a medical malpractice lawsuit is handled by an insurer and their assigned attorney; a doctor need not expend his own money for either lawyer’s fees or ultimate settlement of the claim. In addition, most health professionals understand that the mere fact that a doctor has been named in a lawsuit for malpractice may have nothing whatsoever to do with any wrongdoing on his or her part. In 2012, a total of 4479 physicians were disciplined, according to the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) Discipline is Common On any given month, a physician licensed by a state’s medical licensing board in any of our 50 states is facing temporary or permanent loss of his or her license to practice medicine. State medical boards discipline several thousand physicians each year for a multitude of transgressions. The reason for the action may involve the most common issues of malpractice or quality of care, or it may be related to alleged sexual misconduct, insurance fraud, substance abuse, a criminal indictment or any number of regulatory violations enforced by that particular state. The federal government may have referred the matter to that board, if Medicare or Medicaid is involved. The matter may have also been referred to that Board from any number of sources, such as an insurance company, a patient, a colleague, an employee, an employer or even a spouse or family member.  Many also evolve from hospital peer review matters that result in modification or restriction of privileges. #HealthCareLaw #AlexKeoskey #medicalcomplaint#medicaldisciplinaryaction #medicallicensesuspension #NJ #njlaw#Lawyers #Physicians #njphysicians #medicalboard #healthlawyer#medical #BreastCancer #LungCancer #cll #ProstateCancer #obesity#hypertension #strokes #OvarianCancer #pancreaticCancer#breastcancerawareness #digitaltv #ny #bestmedicalnews #dermatolgy#oncology #painmedicine #spinesurgery #orthopedics #medicine #mddigitastv #mdtvonline #mdtvnews #oncology For more information visit: www.mddigitastv.com https://mddigitastv.com/how-states-regulate-their-doctors-…/ Alex J.

How States Regulate Their Doctors — and Why Doctors Should Take Note. As most doctors consider their practice and skills to be beyond reproach, they will rarely consider that they may need to understand exactly how and why their state’s licensing body doles out punishment to fellow members of their profession. Licensing Board discipline is just not a subject that is taught in Medical School, but doctors investigated and disciplined by those boards often wish they had acquired such knowledge before their practice came under the harsh light of scrutiny.

PACIENTE  CON DOLOR SEVERO EN RODILLA, ES TRATADO CON LA VISCOSUPLEMENTACION BAJO TECNOLOGIA GUIADA DE IMAGEN FLUOROSCOPICA.                           El Dolor de Rodilla y la Viscosuplementacion DR.ROQUE.NET ”La Viscosuplementacion de la rodilla es hoy en día una alternativa para el tratamiento del DOLOR DE RODILLA secundaria a artrosis de la rodilla”. Dijo el Dr. Roque recientemente en una conferencia medica dirigida a médicos y estudiantes. Viscosupplementation is a procedure in which a thick fluid called hyaluronate is injected into the knee joint.  it is thought that hyaluronate will improve the lubricating properties of the synovial fluid, reduce the pain from osteoarthritis of the knee, improve mobility, and provide a higher and more comfortable level of activity. If you have tried all other nonsurgical treatment methods and your pain continues to limit your activities, viscosupplementation may be an option. #docneedles #doctorneedles #md.needles #ENDOSCOPYSURGERY #HERNIATEDDISC #bulgingdisc #spine #MINIMALLYINVASIVE #TOPDOCTOR #DrFR #PAINRELIEF #HERNIATEDDISC #LOWBACKPAIN #CIRUGIAENDOSCOPICA #DOLORDEESPALDA #discectomy #discectomia #dolordeespalda #foraminalblock #bloqueoforaminal #facetblock #bloqueofacetario #racz #backpain #neckpain #herniateddisc #drroque #painrelief #vivirsindolor #epidural #drfeelgood #radiofrequency #dolordeespalda #dolordecuello #radiofrecuencia #herniadiscal  #kneepain #shoulderpain #dolorderodilla #dolordehombro #berkeleycollege @dorador_ @berkeleycollege

Facial Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive dermal procedure that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) is used to improve skin clarity and texture for an overall even, younger-looking complexion and conditions related to sun-induced skin damage. This safe, quick and simple treatment can be completed in as little as 30 minutes, making it the perfect lunch hour facial with no downtime   Photorejuvenation harnesses the power of IPL energy to gently, yet effectively, reduce skin pigmentation and uneven texture. The IPL device consists of what looks like one very bright light. However, the mechanism is actually many different wavelengths of light, each of which is attracted to a different skin condition. The lights can absorb red discoloration (rosacea, broken capillaries, spider veins, blotchiness), slough off brown discoloration (birthmarks, age spots, acne scarring), and stimulate the production of new collagen, all at once. Some of the benefits  of using photorejuvenation are translated to your face and include Improving skin texture, Reducing or eliminating discoloration or uneven tone, Reducing pore size, Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Reducing the appearance of rosacea   What conditions can be treated by PHOTOREJUVENATION? Redness and flushing of the face, neck and/or chest. Rosacea. Photo-aging or sun damage reduces fine wrinkles, freckling and. ... Rough skin and enlarged pores. ACNE. Telangiectasia (small facial veins). Irregularly pigmented skin such as melasma. RESULT: Small wrinkles are smoothed out; Skin rejuvenates, its tonus and elasticity increases; Pores are narrowed; Complexion improves and skin tonus is leveled; Skin defects (pigment spots, freckles, vascular formations) are eliminated.

Noonan syndrome is a genetic disorder that prevents normal development in various parts of the body. A person can be affected by Noonan syndrome in a wide variety of ways. These include unusual facial characteristics, short stature, heart defects, other physical problems and possible developmental delays. Noonan syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation and is acquired when a child inherits a copy of an affected gene from a parent (dominant inheritance). It can also occur as a spontaneous mutation, meaning there's no family history involved. Management of Noonan syndrome focuses on controlling the disorder's symptoms and complications. Growth hormone may be used to treat short stature in some people with Noonan syndrome.

Researchers at the University of California in Irvine followed the cases of 11 men who had complications after penis enlargement surgery, also known as penoplasty. Common complication noticed included:deformity, infection, gangrene, chronic ulceration and a 'buried penis'.
