Representation Of Women

As the founders of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine’s Women’s Health Member Interest Group, we welcome this issue focused on the important issues facing women, their providers, and researchers in this field. Women’s health extends beyond sex-specific reproductive health issues, by also encompassing the medical conditions that are more prevalent in women as well as conditions that are expressed differently in women. Inadequate representation of women in clinical research has contributed to poorer outcomes. As lifestyle medicine forms the foundation of true health, the time is now to recognize and address these issues with research, education, and advocacy.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is common among older adults, who may be more frail or have comorbid medical conditions that make treatment more challenging. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a lethal malignancy with relatively few effective treatment options. To date, most clinical research has not enrolled large numbers of older adults, despite this being the demographic predominantly affected by this illness. In this article, etiology and treatments for pancreatic adenocarcinoma are reviewed with a particular emphasis on studies that have examined matters relating to treating older adults; future directions for research are also explored.

The Common

Objectives:The aim of this article is to draw attention to the clinical importance of disordered sleep in psychiatry and to demonstrate the growing awareness of medical illness as a complication of disordered sleep. As background to these main objectives, some general points are made to illustrate present-day approaches to the common and often serious problem of sleep disturbance.Methods:The review is based on a literature search from which key publications were selected to illustrate, in turn, main connections between disordered sleep and psychiatric and medical conditions.Results:Many such connections are described. Throughout psychiatry, regarding patients whatever their age, these connections have implications for clinical assessment and management. Emphasis is placed on the risk of misdiagnosis of sleep disorders as psychiatric or medical conditions. Examples of this are provided. The growing evidence that disordered sleep can predispose to medical illness is discussed.Conclusion:As the subject of sleep and its disorders is particular relevant in psychiatry, a working knowledge of modern sleep medicine is important in all branches of psychiatric and other medical practice as well as in clinical research.
