Common Naturopathic Therapies For Chronic Conditions, Jordan E. Perlman
Common Naturopathic Therapies For Chronic Conditions, Jordan E. Perlman
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Complementary and Alternative Medicine has started to achieve greater public prominence – many patients report satisfaction and believe these therapies are cost effective. Allopathic physicians are largely unfamiliar with the supplements prescribed by naturopathic doctors, and have trouble integrating these therapies into traditional treatment plans. Patients are not trained to evaluate the safety or efficacy of their medication regimens, and rely on their primary care physicians to provide that service -– even if the majority of their "medications" are supplements recommended by an "alternative" provider.

Creating A Guide For Patient Self-Management Of Weight Loss (For Management Of Diabetes), Kelsey Preston
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
In my first week working with Dr. Flynn, I saw more patients coming in with a diagnosis of diabetes than those without; this is likely untrue, but it certainly felt like that. I realized how big of an issue diabetes really is, and hoped to work on a project targeted towards diabetes. While I noticed medical and medicinal management of patients with diabetes was adequate, there was a large gap in patient self-management of their diabetes – they followed their prescriptions, but did not seem to have changed other aspects of their lives, most importantly, their diets.

Improvement In Diabetic Care, Richard Smith
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Over the years, steps have been taken to 'streamline' the process when it comes to diabetic management in the Village Primary Care (VPC) practice. As more and more outcomes are monitored, it is important to both identify the shortcomings of the practice as far as diabetic management, and attempt to implement processes to ensure better outcomes. VPC is doing well in many areas (LDL/BP/BMI), but is lacking in monitoring and implementing certain areas of diabetic management: Recommending and tracking eye exams, HbA1c, Micro albumin, Foot exams.

Diabetes And All-Cause And Coronary Heart Disease Mortality Among Us Male Physicians, Paulo A. Lotufo, Joann E. Manson
Paulo A Lotufo
Background: While diabetes has long been associated
with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), the
magnitude of risk of diabetes-related CHD is uncertain.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of diabetes and prior
CHD on all-cause and CHD mortality.
Methods: In a prospective cohort study of 91 285 US
male physicians aged 40 to 84 years, participants were
divided into 4 groups: (1) a reference group of 82 247
men free of both diabetes and CHD (previous myocardial
infarction and/or angina) at baseline, (2) 2317 men
with a history of diabetes but not CHD, (3) 5906 men

Alcohol Consumption And Risk Of Coronary Heart Disease By Diabetes Status, Paulo A. Lotufo
Paulo A Lotufo
Background—An inverse association between moderate alcohol consumption and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been observed in several epidemiological studies. To assess whether a similar association exists among diabetics, we examined the relation between light to moderate alcohol consumption and CHD in men with and without diabetes mellitus in a prospective cohort study. Methods and Results—A total of 87 938 US physicians (2790 with diagnosed diabetes mellitus) who were invited to participate in the Physicians’ Health Study and were free of myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer, or liver disease at baseline were followed for an average of 5.5 years for death with …
