08/19/24 • 21 min
Dementia is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S. and there hasn't been a lot of hope with prevention or treatment. However, recently published evidence suggests the shingles vaccine may delay it's onset.
The GameChanger
Several studies suggest a delay in onset of dementia with the recombinant shingles vaccine.

Are We Overprescribing Statins?
We delve into the implications of the recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, exposing how older risk models overestimate cardiovascular risk by about 50%. This overestimation has profound implications for primary statin use, insurer policies, and regulatory practices. Our discussion highlights the need for updated guidelines that reflect the most current evidence, ensuring better patient care and aligning clinical practice with the latest scientific findings.
The GameChanger
Adopting the PREVENT equations could significantly refine statin prescriptions, ensuring millions of adults receive appropriate cardiovascular risk management.

Words Matter: Fostering Respect and Avoiding Stigma
Stigmatizing language may be part of our daily interactions with patients without even realizing it. It can appear in charts, regardless of race, gender, gender identity, ability, or socioeconomic status, but it has been found to occur more frequently for groups who are traditionally marginalized. How often do you reflect on the language you use with patients and how it might be interpreted by them, depending on their unique circumstances? And what are we doing as preceptors to help our residents and students understand the importance of language in their patient interactions? Listen in to learn more.
