Clinical trials are important for discovering new treatments for diseases, as well as new ways to detect, diagnose, and reduce the chance of developing the disease.

Clinical trials are a crucial part of the process of developing, licensing and bringing new life-changing, life-saving drugs and therapies to patients. Trials ensure that new treatments are both safe and effective, enabling medical practitioners and patients to use them with confidence, so that they can live a healthier life. This highlights just how important medical research is, and why your contribution is so vital. Imagine the feeling of doing your part to help put future generations in a better place than we are now. And in some cases, imagine being a part of the attempt to eradicate diseases in the here and now.

While clinical trials are important, the choice to participate in one is very personal and depends on your unique situation. You and your doctor need to weigh the benefits against the risks and decide what’s best for you, when presented with a clinical trial.

Clinical trials are available for:

  • People of all ages, sex, race, or ethnic groups can be in clinical trials.
  • Some people are healthy, while others may have illnesses.
  • The kinds of people needed for a trial depend on the trial itself and the questions it is trying to answer.

The reality is, for all new therapies and all the advances we make in developing them, they must be tested and here lies one of the largest blockages to providing faster access to billions of people; Clinical Trial Recruitment.

“The only problem where I don’t yet see a clear path forward yet is how to develop more efficient ways to recruit patients for clinical trials…. If we could find a way to pre-screen participants, we could start new trials quickly.” — Bill Gates

Diversity In Clinical Trials?

Lack of diversity in clinical trials can lead to the development of drugs that only work for some people — or may even harm whole segments of the population. It also creates research conditions that ignore diverse genetic, environmental, cultural and lifestyle factors that play a key role in the development and treatment of medical conditions. For medical research to work properly, everyone must be represented.

Whites make up roughly two-thirds (67%) of the overall U.S. population, but account for 83% of research study participants. Compare that to African Americans who make up 13.4% of the U.S. population and 5% of study participants and Latinos who comprise 18.1% of U.S. residents yet make up less than 1% of clinical trial participants.

In simple terms, good representation means good science. Leaving any segment of our population out of health research is no longer acceptable or productive — a truth the global pandemic shed a stark light on.

Paid vs Unpaid Clinical Trials?

When we speak with patients, we often hear this question: “do I have to pay to participate in this clinical trial?” Typically, patients do not have to pay for clinical trial costs. In some instances, they may have to pay copays and payments toward a deductible if those are part of their insurance plan. Every trial is different, but the clinical trial sponsor usually pays for all research-related costs and any special testing.

Some clinical trials offer payment to participants. This is more common for earlier trials, particularly Phase 1. The amount of payment often has to do with the phase of the trial. Phase 1 trials, for example, pay more (around $2,000 on average) because the treatments being studied are less well-understood. Compare that to Phase IV trials, which offer the lowest average compensation (around $400). Paid clinical trials, compensation for travel, and patient travel services can help make it easier for you to take part in research.

Later-stage clinical trials sometimes offer reimbursement for your trial or, more often, for travel or childcare. Reimbursements aren’t always advertised and can vary from site to site, so ask the study team if you’re interested in learning more.

]]> Why It’s Crucial To Compare Medical Enrolment   https://www.healthhq.guru/health/why-its-crucial-to-compare-medical-enrolment/ Wed, 12 Oct 2022 01:49:47 +0000 https://www.healthhq.guru/?p=928 7 in 10 of those eligible for Medicare don’t compare their plan options. This is not the recommended course of action and you may be missing out by not checking. The Medicare enrolment period is from October 15th to December 7th and represents the best possible time to reassess your health and prescription needs and make sure you have the right plan that suits your needs and budget.

What Are Your Options?

There are a variety of different options to choose from during this open enrolment period

  • Medicare Advantage vs Original Medicare:

You can switch between these two. Over the last few years Medicare Advantage plans have been more preferred due to their inclusions of prescription drug coverage, dental, hearing aids and vision. Every year the Medicare Advantage plan changes so it’s important to review it carefully.

  • Change from a Medicare Advantage plan without drug coverage to a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage, or vice versa

Depending on if the amount or type of prescription drugs have changed over the course of the year this may be very relevant to you and may be a good time to change or switch. Ultimately you can change from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another plan from the same company or with a different company.

  • Medicare Part D

Medicare Part D covers additional medications whereas Original Medicare doesn’t come with prescription drug coverage

What is the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act

As a result of passing the Inflation Reduction Act there are a few various changes. If you have diabetes and use insulin to manage your condition, this new benefit will save you money each month on the cost of your medication. The $35 cap applies to all covered insulin products, including traditional pumps (which fall under Part B). The Part D deductible also won’t apply, so you will save even more money on your prescription costs

Overall the Inflation Reduction Act is a positive for Medicare users. Before the Inflation Reduction Act, almost 5 million Americans struggled to afford their prescription drugs. The Inflation Reduction Act makes changes to Medicare so that millions of people with Medicare will spend less on their prescriptions.

People with Medicare prescription drug coverage will be happy to know that starting in 2025, there will be a yearly cap of $2,000 on what they pay out-of-pocket for prescription drugs. In addition, they will have the option to pay their prescription costs in monthly amounts spread over the year rather than all at once.

What’s Not Included?

Whilst Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare often talk about all their inclusions it may be harder and more important to tell what it doesn’t include.

One of the main ones is healthcare received outside of the country. This may apply to many over 65+ retirees who are looking to increase their travel later in life. Original Medicare does not pay for health care that you receive while traveling outside of the US. In order to get outside of US care you may require a Medigap plan from a private insurer.

Long term care is another that is often not included. These can end up being high costs for things like nursing homes, and long term care.

Dental care is sometimes included and sometimes not and it’s important to check. Original Medicare doesn’t cover the majority of dental care procedures. The same goes with regards to Original Medicare and hearing aids.

]]> Music Therapy Does Wonders Even from the Womb https://www.healthhq.guru/health/music-therapy-does-wonders-even-from-the-womb/ Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:28:48 +0000 http://www.healthhq.guru/uncategorized/music-therapy-does-wonders-even-from-the-womb/ Recent studies have revealed that external factors significantly impact both the mother and the baby during pregnancy. One of them is the presence of music. Constant exposure to soothing melodies stimulates fetal development, and it helps the mother overcome the hormonal and psychological changes she is experiencing.

How Sounds Leads to Uterus Changes
New research has shown that fetuses develop their sound-processing ability early. By the time they reach the third semester of pregnancy, babies can distinguish between different sounds from the exterior.

Medical tests have revealed that newborn babies react quickly to songs, themes, and repetitive sounds that they constantly hear while still inside their mothers’ wombs. These results shed light on why children develop their cognitive features faster if they are exposed to music in their fetal-development stage.

Sound Therapy May Produce Smarter Babies

One of the most known influences of music on newborn babies is the Mozart Effect. This is based on a medical study by Dr. Alfred Tomatis, who was determined to prove that classical music positively affects brain development. His tests revealed that lab rats exposed to Mozart’s symphonies found their way out of a maze quicker than those deprived of this sophisticated therapy.

Further clinical studies have shown that human babies also react to classical music when they still inhabit their mothers’ wombs. A daily musical treatment seems to relax their in-uterus behavior.

Also, as the mother feels more serene, the oxygen flow to the womb increases and the endorphins reach the placenta easier than before. This helps both the mother and the baby to overcome the hormonal imbalance that is usually attributed to pregnancy.

Boost Womb Development with Music

Constantly listening to music will not give superpowers to your newborn baby. However, the medical consensus is that tuning in to your favorite record can improve the baby’s IQ. Moreover, it could help to enhance speech development in the first two years of life.

Another benefit of music therapy is creating a calming womb environment for the baby. This will help the newborn deal better with agitation and pain and sleep better. This coping mechanism is ideal for adequately evolving mental health and cognitive traits .

]]> Exercises and Workout Tips for Seniors https://www.healthhq.guru/health/exercises-and-workout-tips-for-seniors/ Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:28:46 +0000 http://www.healthhq.guru/uncategorized/exercises-and-workout-tips-for-seniors/ If you are past your 60s, you need to buckle up and get in shape. Even if you have passed your retirement age, it does not mean you cannot exercise and increase your fitness levels. In fact, this study reveals that physical activity benefits outweigh the potential risks, particularly in older people.

Here are a few workout tips for seniors that will rejuvenate you and enhance your mobility:

Warm-up exercises
You need to start with slow-tempo moves that activate your muscles and signal your joints to prepare for physical activity. Take it easy and perform movements that gradually relieve your stiffness. In this regard, your best choice is a workout program specifically developed for seniors and older adults that want to maintain their fitness.

The key is to practice them as often as you can. Fortunately, slow-tempo exercises are easy-to-follow and even easier to perform. You do not need special gear or workout buddies. Instead, you are only required to be determined and consistent with your intent to have a healthier body.

Don’t rush in!
After long inactivity periods, you might be tempted to rush in and perform exercises at a high-intensity level. This is a rookie mistake that many seniors make. The unfortunate side effects of such a destructive approach are muscle injuries and joint pain. Furthermore, a severe lesion may take you out for a few months, destroying your ability and your will to work out.

Try exercise routines and workout schedules that prepare you for physical activity and offer a 0% probability of suffering from an injury. Start with easy steps developed explicitly for older adults, and you increase your mobility in record time.

For example, your first few weeks of exercising should comprise mainly stretching and mobility routines.

Next, you can follow up with walking, light jogging, and even weight lifting.

]]> 3 Simple Ways to Get Fit Again, Regardless of Age https://www.healthhq.guru/health/3-simple-ways-to-get-fit-again-regardless-of-age/ Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:25:18 +0000 http://www.healthhq.guru/uncategorized/3-simple-ways-to-get-fit-again-regardless-of-age/ Everyone tends to sleep on their laurels every now and then, especially regarding fitness. If your mirror shows you have let yourself go too far without exercising, you should try getting back in the game.

Fortunately, you don’t have to go to extra lengths to regain your fitness condition. Here are three simple ways to get in shape again, regardless of age!

Set up your mini-gym
First, you need to approach a workout session as a pleasant activity. Find a room in your home where you have enough space to move and where you feel comfortable. Lift up the blinders and let the sunlight in.

Put on some of your favorite music, but make sure that you stay away from the mellow tunes – you don’t want to fall asleep midway through your training program. Keep a yoga mat and a towel handy, and prepare to restore your youthful vigor.

Keep on walking
Walking is suitable for both body and mind. Strolling through the park or just around your block activates your muscles and works out your joints and ligaments. Furthermore, it clears your mind and helps your brain produce more endorphins that improve your mood.

Unfortunately, several factors prevent seniors from taking a walk outside every day of the week. Weather conditions, dangerous environments, and medical conditions are just a few things that stop them from a healthy walk outside.

The good news is you can solve this issue by practicing simple workout routines in the comfort of your room. Low-impact exercises like walking in place and low-tempo training moves can activate every muscle in your body.

Relax and meditate
Staying in shape during retirement means more than just exercising and eating the right foods. You also have to nourish your mind and soul. In this regard, your best choice is to meditate and relax. A single daily meditation session is enough to keep you in a positive mood and to help you face old age with a serene mindset.

]]> The Impact of Alcohol Consumption on Your Heart https://www.healthhq.guru/health/the-impact-of-alcohol-consumption-on-your-heart/ Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:25:10 +0000 http://www.healthhq.guru/uncategorized/the-impact-of-alcohol-consumption-on-your-heart/ Heart arrhythmia has been linked with the regular consumption of alcohol. People who prefer the occasional brandy or a glass of wine with their meals have a bigger chance of developing this medical condition. If ethanol use does not decrease, these individuals risk severe cardiovascular diseases.
Scientists have long debated the effects of long-term consumption of alcohol on the human body, and they have found the link between this substance and many illnesses. Global awareness has been raised for more than a century regarding the wellness risks associated with alcoholism. Unfortunately, the end of alcohol-generated ailments seems nowhere near in sight.

Another heart condition generated by alcoholism is cardiomyopathy – a disease that modifies the muscle structure of your heart. Because the compounds of alcohol affect your circulatory system, the heart is forced to oscillate its normal function. The adverse effect of this process is stretching and dropping your heart muscle.

Alcohol dependence is also responsible for high blood pressure and an increased risk of stroke. In fact, people who drink ethanol regularly have an enhanced chance of 33% of suffering from a heart attack.

Tips on Cutting down Alcohol Consumption
The first step toward an alcohol-free life is a plan with attainable goals. People who choose to go “cold turkey” overnight rarely avoid relapsing. That’s because stopping drinking altogether after a lifetime of consumption is nearly impossible.

Your best choice is to reduce your alcohol intake gradually. Also, establishing a weekly, monthly, and yearly drinking budget could help you consume less alcohol and save money.

Additionally, you should share your plan with friends and family. This way, you can share some responsibility and accountability for going clean off the bottle. In return, you should receive massive support, which will help you in the long run.

]]> How to Build a Healthy and Positive Mindset https://www.healthhq.guru/health/how-to-build-a-healthy-and-positive-mindset/ Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:25:08 +0000 http://www.healthhq.guru/uncategorized/how-to-build-a-healthy-and-positive-mindset/ The power of positivity cannot be denied. A healthy, optimistic attitude creates better relationships, ensures emotional stability, and keeps you high-spirited regardless of circumstances. To benefit from a serene lifestyle, you must understand that this power rests solely in your hands. If you make the correct internal changes, you will soon see the external beauty surrounding you.

Constructive thinking keeps you healthy
A constructive frame of mind can bring you endless benefits. With just a little positive thinking, you can find the motivation to overcome obstacles in your personal and professional life. Treat every hurdle you have to jump with the goal of success in sight. Anything less than that will undoubtedly lead to failure. Being confident and believing in yourself will maintain a healthy state of mind. Also, regardless of the negative aspects of your life, you must be grateful for the good things you have.

An optimist attracts similar spirits
Every optimist knows there are special days when keeping an upbeat attitude is almost impossible. This could happen during work hours when you and your team almost miss your goals. That is the perfect time to show your self-esteem and positive thinking to motivate and inspire others. Success is often the result of going against all odds with complete determination and optimism.

Stay positive ahead of every new start
It is tricky to see the entire half of the glass when you are faced with a new start in your life. New beginnings are always hard in relationships, jobs, or friendships. However, maintaining a positive attitude and remaining calm will improve your perspective on life. This way, you will quickly see the clear road ahead and make the healthiest decisions for yourself and those around you.

]]> Health Risks Associated with Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism https://www.healthhq.guru/health/health-risks-associated-with-alcohol-abuse-and-alcoholism/ Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:25:07 +0000 http://www.healthhq.guru/uncategorized/health-risks-associated-with-alcohol-abuse-and-alcoholism/ Recent studies have shown that alcohol can severely affect your health, whether you drink it occasionally or with every meal of the day. Here are some of the biggest health concerns that ethanol can provide.

Liver Disease
Alcoholism is the primary cause of cirrhosis – a medical condition that damages your liver to the point where it cannot function properly anymore. Doctors explain this process as one of the most damaging blows you can give to the only regenerating organ in your body. In fact, the liver fails to replace the damaged tissue with a new healthy set of cells. This illness usually results in liver failure, and it requires transplant surgery.

Pancreatitis
If you consume too much alcohol in a short period, you risk developing pancreatitis. This medical condition blocks the proper absorption of nutrients from food and damages your digestive system. More than that, the swollen blood veins around your pancreas could result in internal bleeding.

Brain Malfunctions
Alcohol abuse destroys your brain cells and makes most neurological pathways break down. These conditions affect normal behavior, communication, and orientation skills. In time, alcoholism can affect large parts of your brain, severely damaging your mental alertness and memory.

Cancer
Along with tobacco, alcohol is one of the leading causes of several types of cancer. Ethanol can generate tumors in your mouth, throat, oesophagus, and liver. Recent studies have revealed that some forms of breast cancer originate in alcohol abuse.

Weak Immune System
Drinking alcohol regularly can seriously affect your immune system. This condition increases the risk of becoming infected with a virus or bacteria. In time, your body loses the ability to ward off minor medical conditions and common illnesses.

]]> The Correlation Between Sunlight, Vitamin D, and a Healthy Life https://www.healthhq.guru/health/the-correlation-between-sunlight-vitamin-d-and-a-healthy-life/ Mon, 22 Aug 2022 10:25:06 +0000 http://www.healthhq.guru/uncategorized/the-correlation-between-sunlight-vitamin-d-and-a-healthy-life/ A healthy metabolism relies on a wide range of nutrients. Vitamin D, also known as the “sunshine vitamin,” is of crucial importance because our skin produces it from exposure to sunlight. This fat-soluble compound has a series of benefits for the human body. Its production correlates to several conditions like geographical positioning, age, season, and personal skin pigmentation. The lack of vitamin D may produce illnesses like high blood pressure, osteoporosis, arthritis, and even skin cancer.

How Vitamin D Fights Off Diseases
Vitamin D fuels numerous chemical processes that take place in your body. This compound facilitates the absorption of several minerals like phosphorous and calcium, which are crucial for the well-being of your immune system. Daily walks can prevent life-threatening diseases and prolong life expectancy.

A Healthy Diet Compensates for the Lack of Sunlight
The presence of vitamin D ensures that your body absorbs the correct quantity of nutrients from your diet. People who live in locations often deprived of sunlight should take vitamin D supplements. This practice sustains a high-running metabolism and a robust immune system.

Vitamin D is also essential for the proper growth of children and teenagers. This compound is used by the human body to absorb calcium faster and guarantee the formation of strong bones and teeth.

Children and even young adults taking vitamin D supplements regularly have a smaller chance of suffering from old-age problems like osteoporosis, osteoporosis, or arthritis.

The Correlation between Cancer and Vitamin Deficiency
Direct exposure to sunlight may lead to skin cancer. Conversely, too little time spent in the sun gives way to vitamin D deficiency. This makes a fragile epidermis susceptible to skin tumors. In this case, moderation is the key. Consider getting as much sun as possible in the first hours of the day and always use sunscreen to save the skin from radiation. You ensure proper vitamin D production and protection against dangerous illnesses.
