Ankylosing Spondylitis Associated with Increased Risk of Blood Clot Condition
VANCOUVER, Feb. 13, 2019 /CNW/ - A recent study by Arthritis Research Canada scientists has revealed that individuals with ankylosing spondylitis (a type of arthritis that affects the spine, causes chronic back pain and most often affects men under age 40) are 53 per cent more likely to experience venous thromboembolism (VTE) – a blood clot that starts in a vein and can travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) – and 63 per cent more likely to have deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – a blood clot in the leg veins.
VTE is rare but potentially life-threatening and an increased risk of the condition has been demonstrated in other types of inflammatory arthritis, including psoriatic and rheumatoid arthritis. But there is very little evidence of its risk in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
"Clinicians should have an increased awareness of this complication so that they can provide the best care possible to their patients," said Dr. Antonio Aviña-Zubieta, a senior scientist of rheumatology at Arthritis Research Canada and the study's principal investigator.
This population-based study used a large dataset encompassing almost the entire population of British Columbia and included outpatient and inpatient cases of ankylosing spondylitis, as well as information from primary care and specialist records.
"These results call for awareness of this complication, increased vigilance and preventive intervention by controlling the inflammatory process or by anticoagulation in a high-risk ankylosing spondylitis population," Dr. Aviña-Zubieta said. "We now need to study whether or not inflammation-decreasing treatment could reduce the risk of this condition."
Because the data in this study covers the entire spectrum of disease, it allows for generalization to the ankylosing spondylitis population as a whole.
Arthritis Research Canada is the largest clinical arthritis research centre in North America. Our mission is to transform the lives of people living with arthritis through research and engagement. Led by world-renowned rheumatologist, Dr. John Esdaile, Arthritis Research Canada's scientific team of over 100 are creating a future where people living with arthritis are empowered to triumph over pain and disability. Within British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec, Arthritis Research Canada is leading research aimed at arthritis prevention, early diagnosis and treatment, and quality of life issues.

Stem cell therapy offers potential for thalassemia patients to have fewer blood transfusions, says GlobalData
The possibility of using hematopoietic stem cells to restore production of normal hemoglobin is being investigated as a potential strategy to reduce the number of blood transfusions for thalassemia patients.
Magdalene Crabbe, Pharma Analyst at GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, offers her view:
“In clinical trials, stem cells from the bone marrow of thalassemia patients with the normal form of the HBB gene were transfected through a viral vector into their erythrocytes. The majority of patients (68.2%) no longer required monthly blood transfusions.
“Despite the positive trial results, the procedure is expensive and questions remain over the long-term effects of stem cell therapy on people with hematological disorders.
“Most thalassemia patients need regular transfusions to supply them with red blood cells that can carry enough oxygen, which can improve the patient’s prognosis. However this can result in a multitude of complications.
“Continued research efforts are needed to find ways to improve the life expectancy of these patients, and to also give them the opportunity to enjoy energetic activities that require the correct functionality of oxygen homeostasis machinery.”

Amp Up V-Health this V-Day with Sea Buckthorn
SeabuckWonders Shares Recent Studies Showing Direct Benefits of Sea Buckthorn for Mucous Membrane Health Chicago, IL – February 13, 2019 – SeabuckWonders is providing some helpful information about women’s heath this Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re in your 20’s or post-menopausal, this V-Day take some time to think about optimal V-health. One natural way to maximize vaginal health is with sea buckthorn. Sea buckthorn is a plant grown in the Himalayas that produces amazing berries jam-packed with antioxidants and omega fatty acids—including the rare Omega 7.
Many people suffer from dry or irritated mucous membranes. Oral supplementation of sea buckthorn berry oil can help with a number of chronic dryness related issues including vaginal dryness.
A recent study published on science-truth.com points out some interesting findings about how sea buckthorn can help support vaginal health.
Sea buckthorn berry and berry products, for instance juice and oils, have been shown to have a wide range of beneficial effects, of which promoting regeneration of skin and mucous membranes, improving immune functions, reducing oxidation, and strengthening cardiovascular health are highlighted.[1]
The study had some very positive results in the health of urogenital track mucous membranes, including the following conclusions:
• Oral application of Omega 7 sea buckthorn oil capsules considerably improved chronic vaginal inflammation in three severe cases.
• The positive effect observed did not take place through increase of circulating estrogen level.
• Based on the results of the present study and the effects shown in studies documented in literature, oral administration of sea buckthorn oil presents a promising alternative for treating chronic vaginal inflammation.[2]
Another study published on ScienceDirect.com focused on post-menopausal women and resulted in some very positive findings.
SB oil showed beneficial effects on vaginal health, indicating it is a potential alternative for mucosal integrity for those women not able to use estrogen treatment for vaginal atrophy.The improving effect on the integrity of the vaginal epithelium was most likely due to combined effect of the bioactive compounds in sea buckthorn oil, via mechanisms other than the activation of estrogen receptors. Due to the increasing number of women in postmenopausal state, and the risks associated with the standard treatment of vaginal atrophy with estrogen, there is a need for alternative means for maintaining healthy vaginal mucosa. [3]
As more and more women seek out natural products to support an array of health and beauty challenges, the sea buckthorn berry continues to grow in popularity. As a matter of fact, Dr.Oz nicknamed this super fruit the “miracle berry” due to its long list of benefits including:
* Cellular moisture/ dry cell conditions * Digestive support * Skin repair for cuts, wounds & burns * Vaginal health * Age defying *Cardiovascular support * Immunity boost * Healthy inflammation response

A VALENTINE FOR A CAREGIVER
By Peter Rosenberger
Of the 43.5 million of those providing unpaid care to an adult or child in the last year, AARP shares that 60 percent are women. Following a somewhat exhaustive search, no data seems to exist reflecting how the laundry and household chores are divided between men and women. Based upon calls to my show and conversations had with many male caregivers, however, a growing trend seems to show that while their wives struggle to care for an aging parent, many men seem to overlook the growing pile of laundry in the home—as well as other things.
In addition, the iron seems to fall into disuse during lengthy caregiving stints. While food arrives in the home via carryout or delivery, the pantry itself lacks basics being restocked. If made, the beds don’t often see fresh linens, and the bathrooms …well, let’s just say that they don’t reflect a “freshness.”
For a wife following a heartbreaking day of watching a parent (s) slip away, arriving home to an untidy house, piles of laundry, a packaged meal, and a bathroom that, well …, only adds to the weariness.
As the baby-boomer population ages, the strain on American households will only increase. Shared responsibilities must become a conversation topic for the family unit. If not, resentment is only a hamper away.
To their credit, many men seem sincere in adapting to tasks previously assumed or regulated by women. The conversation about household chores among the sexes, however, is not about gender equality. It’s about love and consideration. Serving as a caregiver wears on the soul and body in ways only understood by those who’ve punched that clock. Years into the role, the little things increase in value to the family caregiver. Folded laundry, a clean bed, heart-healthy home-cooked meal, a well-stocked pantry, and timely paid bills.
All too often on Valentine’s Day, the traditional gifts of chocolate, flowers, dinner out, and sometimes lingerie serve as the expressions of love. For a caregiver, however, those things seem perfunctory or sometimes meaningless. Imagine crying your eyes out after bathing or wiping your mother who lives with dementia —and who curses at you while doing so, and then going home to a messy house and a needy husband.
What about that cries out “romance?” For that matter, how does it even reflect love?
Caregivers want to be seen. They want their pain acknowledged, and they don’t want platitudes or the low-hanging fruit of customary gifts. Picture instead, wonderful chocolates resting on a clean pillowcase in a freshly made bed. Or a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a scrubbed and sparkling bathroom. Instead of lingerie, men …lay out the most comfortable pajamas she owns.
Planning a meal requires a bit of effort. Simply firing up the grill isn’t enough. Setting a proper table and serving heart-healthy meals that reflect thoughtfulness and observation of what your spouse enjoys. When serving dinner, the keyword is “serving,” and cleaning is just as important as cooking. The task remains unfinished until the kitchen and/or dining room are restored to pristine condition.
Loving without expecting represents a higher form of love. Seeing and meeting the need without requiring recognition or even a “thank-you” expresses a deeper awareness and character. In the case of a caregiver, the greatest expression they may be able to give is to fall asleep while you tuck them into bed. Their rest can be all the recognition the spouse or partner of a caregiver needs.
February 14 becomes just another day when bent under the grief of caring for an impaired loved one. Yet that same day can signify a milestone in any relationship when a supporting partner pushes past the stereotypes and steps into a level of love that many desire, but few have the courage to offer—or receive.
A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference. – Winne the Pooh (A.A. Milne)
Peter Rosenberger hosts a radio program for family caregivers broadcast weekly on more than 200 stations. He has served as a caregiver for his wife Gracie, who has lived with severe disabilities for more than 30 years. He is the author of several books including Hope for the Caregiver @hope4caregiver
Want a better workout? You should go and love yourself.
For too long, people have approached exercise from a place of self-criticism. In an attempt to get motivated, we listen to a negative inner voice that tells us we’re lazy, we’re not good enough, we need to lose weight. Not surprisingly, neuroscientists say this kind of self-criticism can actually push us further away from our exercise goals.
Exercise is most successful when you start with self-compassion. February is the perfect time to show yourself some love as part of your workout routine.
The key is to celebrate what your body can do and to make the extra effort to maximize your exercise time. Regular exercise is a chance to take care of (not punish) yourself, says Kim Lavender, who specializes in the role of neurolinguistics in exercise performance, as national director of team training with GoodLife Fitness.
Lavender suggests these ways to add more self-compassion to your fitness routine.
Banish negative self-talk. If you’ve been using self-criticism in an attempt to motivate yourself to exercise, it’s time to switch that around. Find a more positive message that will motivate you to become healthier and happier. A great example is ‘If I make it to the gym three times this week, I’ll feel healthier, less stressed and more energetic.’ Write down your positive message and post it somewhere you can see it every day.
Don’t just burn and run. Instead of rushing to get home for dinner or back to work, allow extra time to warm up, cool down and stretch on either end of your workout. This focused pre- and post-workout routine helps put you in tune with your body, can help prevent injuries and encourage a better workout.
Start training for life. Fitness is not just about burning fat and sculpting muscles. To show extra self-love, incorporate fitness moves into your routine to build strength, endurance, and flexibility for daily activities.
Take care of your mental and physical health. When it comes to exercise, a lot depends on your state of mind. Minimizing stress, practicing mindfulness and getting mentally prepared will help you get the most out of your workouts. Take better care of your body by eating properly, sleeping enough and drinking lots of water. Also, take time for recovery after a tough workout…you’ll perform even better after a rest.
Wear your favourite workout gear. When you dress the part, it has an unconscious effect on your performance (it’s called enclothed cognition). The right fitness wear boosts your confidence and enables you to push yourself without being distracted.
Take a break from social media. It’s no secret that social media can prompt self-criticism. Not only that, but it’s distracting when you exercise. If you truly want to show yourself some love, shut down the ‘Gram when you work out. Disconnecting enables you to focus on yourself and take time away from the outside world. It helps clear your mind to focus on form.
Celebrate your achievements. Fitness can feel like a slog if you don’t take time to recognize your successes. Reward yourself when you make it to the gym three times a week, or you lift a heavier weight or keep going on the elliptical for an extra 5 minutes. Notice how your body, your mood, and your health is changing and mark those changes with a meal out, some extra ‘you time’ at home, or new fitness gear. Fitness is about challenging yourself and being consistent, and it all starts with confidence and self-compassion.
Cannabis cultivator Autumn Brands finds sweet smell of success
Neutralizing aroma, not masking, is key to compliance
SANTA BARBARA, CA – (February 12th, 2019). One of the biggest challenges facing cannabis cultivators is the plant’s scent. Not everyone loves it. And some people were making a big stink about it until Autumn Brands a Santa Barbara County cannabis farm, found a solution to defusing the odor issue while maintaining their exacting pure and sustainable growing standards.
Officially called the Waterless Vapor-Phase System, the proprietary technology is from Byers Scientific & Manufacturing. The system neutralizes the aroma, rather than scenting or masking it. Basically, it’s like this: odors are gaseous, surfing the air currents, and neutralization is predicated on physical contact. When the neutralizing agent comes into contact with the malodor, there is a chemical change and evaporation of the odor is induced.
In response to community concerns about odors, Autumn Brands investigated and experimented with a number of odor abatement practices. They found Indiana-based Byers Scientific & Manufacturing, which serves landfills, solid waste facilities, and similar operations, through the Internet. An industry partner supplies their cannabis-specific neutralizer.
Autumn Brands’ success with the Waterless Vapor-Phase System has translated into more than 14 cannabis farms in the Carpinteria Valley using it. The system also was referenced in Santa Barbara County’s Environmental Impact Report when crafting the cannabis ordinance.
“My business partner searched long and hard for an effective system. His legwork paid off,” said Autumn Shelton, CFO and partner in the 50-percent woman owned, family business. “We are all ‘concerned’ Carpinterians. We love our community, and we all love living here and taking care of odor has always been top of our list.”
About Autumn Brands
Autumn Brands is a licensed California cannabis cultivator dedicated to the synergy of health and wellness. The Autumn Brands’ family farm started in Holland more than a century ago, and today, sixth-generation farmers apply the same expertise garnered in growing the world’s finest tulips to producing pure and potent strains of cannabis in sunny, coastal Santa Barbara County. Autumn Brands is proud to be 50 percent woman owned, free of pesticides and other harmful chemicals. For more information, visit www.autumnbrands.com or email leighanne@anderson-pr.com.
Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd. and IBM Canada Announce First of its Kind Collaboration to Integrate Blockchain Technology into Clinical Trials
Blockchain technology has the potential to improve trust, transparency, patient safety and patient empowerment in clinical trials
BURLINGTON, ON and MARKHAM, ON, Feb. 12, 2019 /CNW/ - Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd. and IBM Canada announced today at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in Orlando, Florida, their plans to explore the use of blockchain technology in clinical trials.
This collaboration underscores Boehringer Ingelheim's commitment to healthcare innovation and marks the first time that blockchain technology will be explored in a clinical trial setting in Canada.
Based on the findings of regulatory authorities, processes to ensure the quality of clinical trials are frequently inadequate, and clinical trial records are often erroneous or incomplete, which may put patient safety and interpretability of trials at risk.
Significant opportunity exists to improve the quality of clinical trial processes and record keeping. Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd. and IBM Canada aim to test whether blockchain technology in clinical trials provides a decentralized framework that enables data integrity, provenance, transparency, and patient empowerment as well as automation of processes, ultimately improving trial quality and patient safety at reduced cost.
"Our guiding philosophy is to bring value to patients and the healthcare system through innovation," said Dr. Uli Brödl, Vice President, Medical and Regulatory Affairs, Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd. "The clinical trial ecosystem is highly complex as it involves different stakeholders, resulting in limited trust, transparency and process inefficiencies without true patient empowerment. Patients are at the heart of everything we do, so we are looking into novel solutions to improve patient safety and empowerment."
IBM Canada brings core blockchain technologies to this collaboration which provides patient consent, secure health data exchange and patient engagement. IBM's technology helps provide trust and transparency around the complex trial process.
"IBM is excited to collaborate with Boehringer Ingelheim to explore how blockchain technology could help improve the quality of clinical trials," said Claude Guay, General Manager, IBM Services, IBM Canada. "We've been using blockchain in other industries, and we are now investigating how we can use this technology to give Canadian patients the same level of security and trust when it comes to their personal health information."
By collaborating with leaders in other sectors to devise solutions that benefit patients and our healthcare system, Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd. continues to spearhead innovation and pave the way for future cross-stakeholder collaborations and partnerships.
About Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd. Improving the health and quality of life of patients is the goal of Boehringer Ingelheim, a research-driven pharmaceutical company. In doing so, the focus is on diseases for which no satisfactory treatment option exists to date. The company therefore concentrates on developing innovative therapies that can extend patients' lives. In animal health, Boehringer Ingelheim stands for advanced prevention.

The company therefore aims at organic growth from its own resources with simultaneous openness to partnerships and strategic alliances in research. In everything it does, Boehringer Ingelheim naturally adopts responsibility towards mankind and the environment.
The Canadian headquarters of Boehringer Ingelheim was established in 1972 in Montreal, Quebec and is now located in Burlington, Ontario. Boehringer Ingelheim employs approximately 600 people across Canada.
