Featured Article » Headache: Therapeutic Update on Prevention and Treatment
This month's CE program is focused on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of headache. Of the main classifications of headaches, migraine is considered to be by far the most serious, painful and debilitating of all. Twenty-four to twenty-eight million Americans are believed to suffer from recurring episodes which are often associated with concomitant gastrointestinal, neurological and autonomic symptoms. Even with this high estimate, it is reported that 59% of cases go undiagnosed and/or under treated in men and 49% in women. In a recent study by Hu et.al., the economic burden due to under productivity and lost work and school time is estimated to exceed 14 billion dollars annually. Read Entire Article

Disease Focus
June Disease Focus » Headache Awareness
June's disease focus, headache awareness, was featured in last month's newsletter. For more information about asthma visit our headache awareness page.
July Disease Focus » Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis is a single-gene disease that causes iron accumulation in the body tissues as a result of increased iron absorption from food in the intestines. Although the genetic defect is present at birth, most males do not experience symptoms until they are between the age of 30 and 50. Females are typically over the age of 50, and do not experience symptoms until they have reached menopause, when they no longer lose iron as a result of menstruation. Due to the body's inability to excrete the excess iron it takes in, the iron accumulates in the body tissues, most notably the pancreas, the liver, and the heart. If left untreated, this may lead to organ failure resulting in diabetes, cirrhosis, and heart disease. In many patients the iron buildup becomes so excessive that it visibly shows up in the skin and is sometimes referred to as "bronze diabetes" because of the patient's appearance.
As many as 1 in 200 Americans are believed to carry both copies of the gene for hemochromatosis. It is estimated that about half of them will eventually develop complications, of which diabetes is the primary concern. Hemochromatosis is as prevalent as type 1 diabetes, and like type 2 diabetes, it is severely under-diagnosed. Common symptoms include joint pain, fatigue, lack of energy, abdominal pain, loss of sex drive, and other symptoms typically seen with diabetes and heart disease. Diagnosis of Hemochromatosis through blood tests can determine if body stores of iron are too high. Testing can be done by a combination of the following tests: serum ferritin, serum iron and TIBC, genetic testing, and liver biopsy. Once a patient is diagnosed, the treatment protocol is phlebotomy (blood-letting) on a standard schedule of a pint of blood once or twice a week until their blood iron levels are in the normal range. Patients are then put on a regular schedule of phlebotomy to keep the blood iron levels in the normal range.
