The Role Of Telemedicine In Modern Healthcare

In the fast-paced world of modern healthcare, innovation and adaptability have become paramount. One such revolutionizing force is telemedicine, a concept that seamlessly blends technology with healthcare delivery. At Sentro Pharma & Healthcare, we recognize the pivotal role telemedicine plays in shaping the future of healthcare.

Empowering Accessibility

In a world where distances can be a significant barrier to healthcare, telemedicine bridges the gap. Through this dynamic approach, patients can connect with healthcare providers regardless of geographical boundaries. This not only enhances accessibility to quality care but also allows us, as a pharma distributor, to ensure timely delivery of essential medications to those in need.

Enhancing Patient-Centric Care

Telemedicine places the patient at the center of their own healthcare journey. It enables personalized care plans, remote monitoring, and real-time consultations. This shift towards patient-centric care aligns perfectly with Sentro Pharma & Healthcare's commitment to providing high-quality medicines tailored to individual needs.

Optimizing Pharmaceutical Supply Chains

Efficient pharmaceutical supply chains are the backbone of healthcare. Telemedicine streamlines this process by enabling healthcare providers to prescribe and order medications electronically. This not only reduces paperwork but also allows us, as a pharma distributor, to respond promptly to the demands of healthcare professionals.

Enabling Timely Interventions

In critical healthcare situations, time is of the essence. Telemedicine facilitates swift communication between patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers. This rapid exchange of information allows for timely interventions and ensures that patients receive the medications they need, precisely when they need them.

Promoting Preventive Healthcare

Preventive care is the cornerstone of a healthier society. Telemedicine platforms offer an ideal environment for educational outreach and wellness programs. By leveraging this technology, we can collaborate with healthcare providers to promote healthy living and disease prevention, ultimately reducing the burden on our healthcare system.

Improving Medication Adherence

Ensuring that patients adhere to their prescribed medications is a crucial aspect of healthcare. Through telemedicine, healthcare providers can monitor medication schedules and offer timely reminders. As a pharma distributor, Sentro Pharma & Healthcare is committed to supplying high-quality medicines that contribute to improved patient outcomes.

Fostering Innovation and Research

Telemedicine opens doors to new avenues of healthcare research and development. It allows for remote patient monitoring, data collection, and clinical trials. This innovative approach aligns seamlessly with Sentro Pharma & Healthcare's commitment to advancing healthcare solutions through research-backed pharmaceuticals.

The Future is Telemedicine

As we stride into the future, telemedicine stands as a beacon of progress in healthcare delivery. At Sentro Pharma & Healthcare, we are dedicated to supporting this evolution by providing a comprehensive range of pharmaceuticals that cater to the diverse needs of healthcare providers and patients alike.

In conclusion, telemedicine is not just a technological advancement; it's a transformation in how we approach healthcare. By embracing this paradigm shift, we empower individuals, enhance care, and ensure that quality medications reach those who need them most.

At Sentro Pharma & Healthcare, we are not just a pharma distributor; we are partners in the healthcare journey, committed to delivering excellence in every dose.

"People living with diabetes might have a new hope. Scientists have tested a new drug therapy in diabetic mice, and found that it boosted insulin-producing cells by 700% over three months, effectively reversing their disease.

Beta cells in the pancreas have the important job of producing insulin in response to blood sugar levels, but a hallmark of diabetes is that these cells are either destroyed or can’t produce enough insulin. The most common treatment is regular injections of insulin to manage blood sugar levels.

But a recent avenue of research has involved restoring the function of these beta cells. In some cases that’s started with stem cells being coaxed into new beta cells, which are then transplanted into patients with diabetes. Researchers behind this kind of work have described it as a “functional diabetes cure.”

Now, scientists at Mount Sinai and City of Hope have demonstrated a new breakthrough. Previous studies have mostly involved growing new beta cells in a lab dish, then transplanting them into mice or a small device in humans. But this new study has been able to grow the insulin-producing cells right there in the body, in a matter of months.

The therapy involved a combination of two drugs: one is harmine, a natural molecule found in certain plants, which works to inhibit an enzyme called DYRK1A found in beta cells. The second is a GLP1 receptor agonist. The latter is a class of diabetes drug that includes Ozempic, which is gaining attention lately for its side effect of weight loss.

The researchers tested the therapy in mouse models of type 1 and 2 diabetes. First they implanted a small amount of human beta cells into the mice, then treated them with harmine and GLP1 receptor agonists. Sure enough, the beta cells increased in number by 700% within three months of the treatment. The signs of the disease quickly reversed, and stayed that way even a month after stopping the treatment.

“This is the first time scientists have developed a drug treatment that is proven to increase adult human beta cell numbers in vivo,” said Dr. Adolfo Garcia-Ocaña, corresponding author of the study. “This research brings hope for the use of future regenerative therapies to potentially treat the hundreds of millions of people with diabetes.”

The results are intriguing, but of course being an animal study means there’s still much more work to be done before it could find clinical use. So far, harmine alone has recently undergone a phase 1 clinical trial in humans to test its safety and tolerability, while other DYRK1A inhibitors are planned for trials in humans next year.

Perhaps most importantly, the team will soon experiment with combining beta-cell-regenerating drugs with others that modulate the immune system. Ideally this should help overcome a major hurdle: the immune system will continue attacking new beta cells as they’re produced.

The research was published in the journal Science Translational Medicine."

Now that it's Disability Pride Month, anyone who makes obnoxious diabetes jokes along the lines of "diabetes in a cup" or similar jokes personally owes me at least $10 okay thank you much love ^_^

Same goes for the people who immediately tell me about how much they would hate their life if they had to inject themselves with needles everyday like I do after I tell them I'm diabetic, your comment is not helpful or insightful! :3

Oh and people who ask me for the in depth medical definition on type 1 diabetes owe AT LEAST $30, I'm not your personal medical dictionary

[sprinkleofquirk]

I’m so tired of being honest about my pain level and having no one believe me because I don’t show pain the way they expect

[lesbiansandco]

“you can’t let x control your life” if it didn’t i would die. if i slack off a bit or become careless (even by accident!) it would hurt or kill me. true, i can’t do everything you and others can. and it sucks. but if i want to stay safe, then x has to control my life. i’m not sorry.

PLEASE STOP STOP STOP SPREADING THIS IMAGE WITHOUT CONTEXT.

these insulins are Regular and NPH insulin, NOT fast-acting like Humalog or Novolog and long-acting like Lantus and Basaglar. If you don’t use these properly, you can still die or end up hospitalized.

if you attempt to switch to R insulin on your own, YOU MAY VERY WELL DIE. they DO NOT work the same way as fast-acting insulins. You need to consult with a doctor ideally, or if you can't do that, RESEARCH THE SHIT OUT OF THESE INSULINS AND THEIR EFFECTS.

I took R insulin for several years as a very small child before fast-acting insulin was created, and the way you eat is STRICTLY regimented. you can’t just shoot some R insulin and go ahead and eat like you can with humalog. my blood sugar levels were frequently anywhere between 40 and 300 (normal is 100-120 for a diabetic) on R and NPH, which is dangerous and causes long-term damage

here is a tragic story of a man who switched to relion R insulin and died because of it: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/08/09/man-dies-otc-insulin/1942908001/ – from 2019

The fact that diabetics are having to use 30+ year-old insulin because we can’t afford modern insulin is a fucking travesty.

These insulins are not miracle alternatives; they're a last resort.

Every diabetic who dies because of insulin rationing or because they had to switch to R and NPH insulin is blood on the hands of pharmaceutical execs and the government.

Totally different than my regular posts but fuck u

(TW/ suicidal tendencies, chronic illness, vent)

No one understands type1 diabetes unless you actually have it, I was in the hospital (one time of many) for intentionally putting myself into DKA so that I could lose weight and then die (I’d look so hot in my casket) so the hospital called the crisis guy like how they normally would for an attempt,

but because it was a matter of me just giving up on having to CONSTANTLY monitor and be hyper vigilant of my body (WHICH REGULAR PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO DO) they were kinda clueless on how to effectively help me.

Normally when someone “gives up” it’s on their basic needs like eating, self care and shit like that but for me it was just stopping putting needles in myself, doing math to be able to eat and stabbing the tips of my fingers 20 times a day

I was exhausted, my life is basically being a 24 hour nurse for myself.

Plus I’m fat so having diabetes just means everyone blames my illness on myself, which isn’t how type 1 diabetes works! I didn’t do anything, I never drank soda, I rarely ate sugar but that’s how the general public thinks how people get diabetes! When actually my pancreas is just a little BITCH WHO CANT FIGHT BACK AT MY AMMUNE SYSTEM!

This crisis guy came into my hospital room and started giving a lecture on TYPE 2 DIABETES! I AM TYPE 1 THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT! And even his lecture on type 2 was bullshit!

His man looks me in my eyes and says “if you wanna be happy lose weight by eating healthy and exercising. Your never going to be normal so stop acting like you are.”

…I am also autistic so I’ve struggled with feeling like a foreign creature, unhuman my whole life.

This man just reinforced every. Single. Reason. Why I wanted to kill myself.

And honestly after he said that I started sobbing. He left the room without guilt and said I was free to discharge.

Hearing that I fully started to laugh my ass off at the absurdity of the situation, this man WHOS JOB IS TO STOP ME FROM KILLING MYSELF just signed my death certificate.

I didn’t end up killing myself purely because… FUCK THAT GUY IM GONNA BE FAT AND HATE MYSELF AND BE THE MOST NORMAL PERSON EVER! HE CAN GO EAT A DICK!

Anywayyyyy hideduo is so cute!

this is the partner I never shut up about. his name is David. (that's Hancock the kitten on his chest.)

on 11/17, he was diagnosed with detached retinas in both eyes. this is likely due to a form of neuropathy known as diabetic retinopathy. he's having surgery on 11/22, and will require at least 3-4 weeks recovery.

this makes us effectively a one-income household until after the new year. the cost of the procedure will come later, after fist-fighting the insurance company and the anesthesiologists and everyone else. what we're looking at directly is the loss of David's wages. while the lost wages still very much are an issue, as it turns out the out-of-pocket payment is $4000. we'll be able to make it in $150 monthly payments, with interest. this is another monthly payment in a time where our household income is cut in half. short-term disability is still pending approval, and even then will only be about 60% of what he usually makes. we have to make up that shortfall somehow.

if you are feeling at all generous:

and as always there's tipping on both blog-level and individual posts. this year has kicked the absolute crap out of us and y'all's generosity has honestly been what kept us afloat. thank you, thank you, thank you.

Back from another periodic diabetes check-in appointment today. This was my second time actually seeing the endocrinologist there, though I had to go back for a nurse appointment when they were setting me up with the CGM.

It was a bit of a mixed bag this morning, and I'm still not sure how to feel about things. The (same) endo did come across as fairly decent and competent again, but I got triggered pretty badly by some pushiness around further meds that I was clearly communicating that I do not want.

Don't really need to go off on that right now, partly for my own mental health. But, I am tentatively trying to interpret at least some of that as a communication mismatch. And of course there are very few faster ways to get my back up by now, than to even give off a whiff of trying to bulldoze me in a medical setting.

On the plus side? No numbers nitpicking, and nobody tried browbeating me about anything else. So, that's a huge improvement over basically anything I ran into connected to the diabetes back on Plague Island.

Anyway, OTOH? She also sent me over to a nurse on the way out, to get what looked like a good portion of my blood drawn for a whole slew of further testing. (Seriously though, it was like 6 small tubes plus another jumbo tube o' blood.) I don't know what all, but will hopefully be able to see through the portal once results come back.

One of the things she wanted to check for, though? MODY! Nobody has ever raised that possibly before, but apparently something set off her diabetologist Spidey sense that it might be a possibility. She specifically mentioned how unusually low my insulin needs have been, with surprisingly better blood sugar control overall than they're expecting to see.

(Yeah, pretty much the OPPOSITE of what you'd expect to see with that persistent T2 misdiagnosis. 😒)

They're apparently also running antibody and C-peptide tests, just to be safe. They didn't get any records whatsoever from Plague Island, and honestly I'm not sure that they ever did the appropriate testing there after my DKA crash. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The major practical difference there, if it is a form of MODY rather than the more common autoimmune kind? Evidently some treatment strategies can be different, and they'd know better what else to watch out for.

But yeah, talk about contrasts. Go from pennypinching refusals to order "unnecessary" antibody tests, to "Gee, it could possibly be this highly unusual thing, so let's just take All The Blood and try to figure out wtf is going on here!"

(Skåne University, which they're attached to, also turns out to be the place in Sweden where they are doing that genetic testing, which probably doesn't hurt at all. Major diabetes research center in general.)

I must say I'm way happier with that approach, all things considered.

GETTING MY FIRST TATTOO TOMORROW 🙀🙀🙀

[lesbiansandco]

people will have every ounce of social courtesy and a sense of privacy

and then lose it as soon as they see a medical device and start asking questions

[anne-chloe]

haha I love taking steroids, because it makes my hormones rage negatively and my blood sugar just does whatever it wants

usually a 1:10 ratio for insulin, now I’m a 1:whatever my diabetes feels like

I’ve taken 40u of my novorapid in the last 3 hours and my sugars have gone from 15mmol/L to 20mmol/L

make it make sense please
