Pediatric diabetes research is an area that hits close to home for Kristen Nadeau, MD, MS, professor of pediatric endocrinology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. A member of the Prairie Band of Potawatomi, Nadeau worked on two Native American reservations in medical school and observed a rising medical problem within the population.
Psychiatrists, as well as the overall mental health field, may play an important role in mitigating the effects of the trend toward increasing polarization, according to Steven Berkowitz, MD, professor in the department of psychiatry and pediatrics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, as well as director of the Stress, Trauma, Adversity Research and Treatment Center. Berkowitz spoke with Healio Psychiatry about the link between mental health and political unrest, how psychiatrists can approach treatment in an age of heightened division and whether psychiatrists can address radicalization at the ends of the political spectrum.
The ability to accurately and precisely predict the final menstrual period has long been a “holy grail” of menopause research, Nanette Santoro, MD, professor and E. Stewart Taylor Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, and colleagues wrote. However, menstrual bleeding patterns, serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels or previous anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) assays could predict the final menstrual period only within a window of 4 years, which is not clinically useful.
“Research has been going on for the last couple decades in telepsychiatry, and at this point there is a robust evidence base,” Jay H. Shore, MD, MPH, of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, said during the session. “Now, there is a good cohort of randomized controlled studies, approximately 20 to 25, of good quality, that demonstrate interventions over video conferencing are equally as effective as interventions in-person or face-to-face.”
