                         Inclusive Language in Dentistry  Health

Inclusive language in healthcare, including dentistry, is essential for creating a respectful and supportive environment for all patients. Here are some principles and examples of inclusive language in this context: 1. Patient-Centered Terms: Instead of: "Do you have any problems with your teeth?" Use: "Are there any concerns or issues you'd like to discuss about your oral health?" 2. Gender-Neutral Terms: Instead of: "Sir/Madam, please have a seat." Use: "Please have a seat." 3. Respect for Identity: Instead of: "What is your real name?" Use: "What name would you prefer to be called?" 4. Avoiding Assumptions: Instead of: "You don’t need any special accommodations, right?" Use: "Do you have any specific needs or accommodations that would make your visit more comfortable?" 5. Cultural Sensitivity: Instead of: "Why don't you just brush your teeth regularly?" Use: "What oral hygiene practices do you follow, and are there any challenges you face in maintaining them?" #pencis More info: neurology.pencis.com Contact: neurology@pencis.com #neurologist #doctor #researchers #InclusiveDentistry #PatientCenteredCare #RespectfulHealthcare #GenderNeutralLanguage #CulturallyCompetentCare #AccessibleHealthcare #InclusiveLanguage #HealthEquity #PatientFirstLanguage #DentalInclusivity #CaringCommunication #DiverseDentalCare #HealthAccessibility #EquitableHealthcare #EmpatheticCare #RespectfulLanguage #CulturallySensitiveCare #InclusiveHealthCare #PatientRespect #HealthcareForAll

World-first blood test for brain cancer may increase survival rates, say experts



Inexpensive test can help diagnose even ‘inaccessible’ tumours earlier, speeding up treatment and improving outcomes





Surgeons and scientists have developed a world-first blood test for brain cancer that experts say could revolutionise diagnosis, speed up treatment and boost survival rates.

For years, brain tumours have remained notoriously difficult to diagnose. They affect hundreds of thousands of people worldwide each year, and kill more children and adults under the age of 40 in the UK than any other cancer.


Now a research team has designed a simple blood test that could help diagnose patients with even the deadliest forms of brain cancer much more quickly, potentially sparing them from invasive and high-risk surgical biopsies. The breakthrough was reported in the International Journal of Cancer.

Experts said the inexpensive liquid biopsy could also lead to earlier diagnosis, which in turn would speed up treatment and potentially increase survival rates. The test would be particularly beneficial for patients with “inaccessible” brain tumours, who could benefit from starting treatment as soon as possible, they added.

Researchers at the Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence, run by Imperial College London and Imperial College healthcare NHS trust, found the test could accurately diagnose a range of brain tumours, including glioblastoma (GBM), the most commonly diagnosed type of high-grade brain tumour in adults, astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. The test had “high analytical sensitivity, specificity and precision”, the team reported.

“This groundbreaking research could lead to earlier diagnosis and improved outcomes for brain tumour patients,” said Dan Knowles, the chief executive of the charity Brain Tumour Research.

Workshop to introduce functional neurosurgery







ADK Hospital has announced plans to conduct a workshop during the pre-conference of this year's Brain and Spine Conference. The workshop aims to introduce a new field of neurology in the Maldives.

The hospital said that the precursor event to the annual Brain and Spine Conference will host workshops specifically designed for doctors, nurses specializing in neurology, and other related services and affiliates.

ADK Hospital said it was targeting to introduce functional neurosurgery at this year's pre-conference workshop.

Functional neurosurgery is a specialty within neurosurgery that focuses on diseases and conditions resulting from neurochemical or electrophysiologic issues in the brain or spinal cord such as Parkinson's Disease. This specialty aims to change the chemical and electrical activity in the brain or spinal cord to improve symptoms using deep brain stimulation (DBS), responsive neurostimulation (RNS) or spinal cord stimulation.

The workshop aims to provide training and education to neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, and nurses regarding brain stimulation and brain lesioning.

Training will be provided by expert doctors from Nepal, India and the United States.

Surgeons will be given practical training on how to conduct brain lesioning as well.

ADK Hospital's resident neurosurgeon Dr. Ali Niyaf said they will be conducting a new surgery on the sidelines of the Brain and Spine Conference similar to previous years.

The surgery will be a lateral lumbar interbody fusion, which involves making an incision at the side of the waist. During the procedure, the damaged disc will be removed, and the space between the bony vertebrae will be filled with a spacer bone graft.

A team of international doctors will be overseeing and instructing the surgery while prior relevant training will be provided, said Dr. Niyaf.

The surgery comes under this year's theme for the conference; "Functional neurosurgery and minimal invasive surgery".

Natural methods to increase dopamine levels



Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, or chemical messenger, that forms part of the reward system the brain uses to motivate certain behaviors. It also supports motor control and executive function and helps people plan and prioritize.

When a person completes a beneficial or enjoyable behavior, neurons in the brain release dopamine. Neurons also release dopamine before an action to motivate individuals to begin.

This article discusses how to increase dopamine naturally, the signs of low dopamine levels, and when to speak with a doctor.

Eat protein

L-tyrosine, or tyrosine, is an amino acid that is a fundamental part of protein. According to a 2019 studyTrusted Source, tyrosine increases the availability of dopamine and may improve cognitive ability.

  • Dietary sources high in tyrosine include:dairy products
  • eggs
  • beans
  • whole grains
  • beef
  • lamb
  • chicken
  • fish
  • nuts

The body can also convertTrusted Source the amino acid L-phenylalanine into L-tyrosine. Phenylalanine is present inTrusted Source certain animal and cereal sources.

Reduce saturated fat intake

A 2021 review suggests diets high in saturated fat may affect dopamine release and reuptake. Long-term diets high in saturated fat may dampen dopamine signaling.

This may link to inflammation affecting dopamine neurons and lessening the effects of the neurotransmitter.

  • People can take the following steps to reduce their saturated fat intake by:eating fewer processed meat products
  • trimming excess fat from meat
  • opting for lean cuts of red meat
  • substituting meat for alternatives, such as legumes, nuts, beans, and soy products
  • choosing fish or skinless chicken
  • replacing butter, lard, or coconut oil with liquid oils, such as olive or peanut oil
