Last Wednesday, We Don’t Have Time inaugurated our brand-new, in-house broadcasting studio with a We Can Do It network meet-up. Dozens of climate-conscious leaders both at our headquarters and online joined us as we hosted presentations on three critically important recent reports:

Although pain is one of the most common reasons that people visit the doctor, managing it can be complicated.

So, what’s a patient—or a doctor – to do?  Here to talk about the unmet need in treating acute pain is Dr. David Dalury, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery (Emeritus) at the University of Maryland.

vrtx.com 

The results show how patients’ lives are affected by acute pain:

70% say it limits them from walking and exercising.
69% says it limits their sleep.
65% says it affects their hobbies and leisure activities.
65% say it made them feel irritable or emotionally drained.
Patients reported missing an average of 19 working days annually.

Pain is one of the most common reasons that people visit the doctor; however, treatment options for the various types and causes of pain remain limited.i,ii,iii

Approximately 40 million Americans with acute pain are prescribed an opioid to manage their discomfort each year.vii Although opioids can be effective, they also carry a labeled risk of addiction.viii In fact, roughly 85,000 U.S. adults are expected to develop opioid use disorder (OUD) within a year of their prescribed treatment of acute pain.vii

Health care providers may prescribe either acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as alternatives for milder pain or additions to opioids for severe acute pain; while these treatments are generally well tolerated, they may have limited effectiveness, particularly for moderate-to-severe acute pain.viii,ix

The survey also shows that:

77% of patients say they are interested in trying a different pain medication if they experience acute pain again.
52% say they are seeking a new pain medication with fewer side effects than their last medication.
31% say they stopped taking their medication before their pain was resolved.
On Wednesday, December 4th, Dr. David Dalury Professor of Orthopedic Surgery (Emeritus) at the University of Maryland will be available to discuss the survey results and help raise awareness about the unmet need in current pain management options and offer solutions.

Tell me about the State of Pain survey. What did it evaluate?​

Can you tell us some of the key findings? What did you learn? ​

Why is it important to focus on pain management right now? ​

Despite many people believing the HIV crisis is “solved,” HIV remains a critical public health issue with more than 31,000[1] new diagnoses in the US each year.
Thankfully, as science and research have advanced, there are many tools available to help prevent HIV, including PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) which is medicine that prevents people from getting HIV. PrEP, when taken as indicated, is highly effective, and yet many who might benefit do not receive a prescription.

http://apretude.com/

According to preliminary data released by the CDC[2], in 2022, only about 36% of the 1.2 million people who could benefit from PrEP were prescribed it.

The CDC[3] also estimates that only 10% for women who could benefit from PrEP receive a prescription for it.

October 21 marks the start of PrEP Aware Week which shines a light on the importance of HIV prevention and the communities that are disproportionately impacted by HIV. The dedicated week is a time to educate everyone on the incidence rates of HIV, who could benefit from PrEP, and where to learn more about the different options available, including a daily pill or a long-acting injectable.
On Wednesday, October 23, Dr. Kimberly Smith, Head of Research and Development at ViiV Healthcare, will discuss ViiV’s comprehensive and innovative approach to HIV prevention and treatment and the role of prevention in ending the HIV epidemic once and for all.

Kanopy Study Shows Collection Diversity in Streaming Video is Very Important to Libraries

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – (December 21, 2020) – Jason Tyrrell, Kanopy’s VP of Content today. A primary mission shared by both academic and public libraries is to meet the streaming video needs of students and patrons for diverse and inclusive content such as African American Studies, LGBTQ+ Studies, Women’s Studies, Disabilities Studies and more. Preliminary results of a Kanopy survey of more than 960 librarians, publicly available January 2021, show that 94% of academic and 86% of public libraries say Collection Diversity is “very important” to “important.”  Yet only 26% and 29% respectively say they are fully meeting their users’ needs for such content.

“With such a large student body, at an urban institution, DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) is a huge “issue” on campus, meaning that there is a huge interest in all aspects at every level of the institution,” explained one academic librarian who participated in the survey.

“Our community is diverse. Many languages other than English are spoken in the homes of our patrons, we also serve a community that is very diverse in age, income level, education level, etc. More than 30% of our service population were born outside the US. We need a diverse collection to meet the diverse needs of our diverse community,” added a public library survey participant.

“We are currently engaged in an evaluation of the diversity of our whole collection. It is a slow process as there has not been standards across the industries involved for measuring diversity. Our existing catalogue has no easy way to measure diversity…,” wrote another public library participant.

Kanopy is helping more than 4,000 academic and public libraries around the globe fulfill the need for Collection Diversity with a growing selection of films, many of which are unavailable on any other streaming video platform. The company currently offers more than 30,000 titles—many of which are categorized as diverse—including a rich selection of non-English language titles.

Examples of Kanopy’s content focused on diversity, include:

• Skin: Inspired by real-life events, this Oscar-winner is set in a small supermarket in a blue collar town, where a black man smiles at a 10-year-old white boy across the checkout aisle. This innocuous moment sends two gangs into a ruthless war that ends with a shocking backlash. SKIN was the Winner of the 2019 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.

• I Am Not Your Negro: This Oscar-nominated documentary narrated by Samuel L. Jackson explores the continued peril America faces from institutionalized racism.

• Latinos Beyond Reel: Filmmakers Miguel Picker and Chyng Sun examine how US news and entertainment media portray — and do not portray — Latinos.

• Race – The Power of an Illusion: This film questions the very idea of race as innate biology, suggesting that a belief in inborn racial difference is no more sound than believing that the sun revolves around the earth.

• A Brave Heart:The Lizzie Velasquez Story – This award-winning documentary follows Lizzie’s triumphant journey to the other side of bullying, encouraging a more positive online environment. 

• Stonewall Uprising: This film explores how In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in the Greenwich Village section of New York City. Such raids were not unusual in the late 1960s, an era when homosexuality was banned in 49 out of 50 states. That night, however, the street erupted into violent protests and demonstrations that lasted for the next six days.

“Kanopy recognizes that identifying diversity gaps in a library’s collection and finding resources to fill them can be challenging from both a time and financial standpoint,” said Kanopy CEO Kevin Sayar. “We aim to continually work with our suppliers to make it easy and affordable for libraries to meet their Collection Diversity goals.”

New Survey Shows AdultsAges 50-59 See Value

But Lack Awareness of vaccines

Nearly three quarters(73%) of adults ages 50-59 say it is absolutely essential, extremely important or very important for adults their age to get vaccinated, however, more than one-third of older adults have never heard of or are unfamiliar with the vaccines recommended for their age group. In fact, 36% of adults ages 50-59 think that only high-risk people (e.g., managing chronic conditions, immuno-compromised, etc.) need adult vaccines, when in fact, many vaccines are recommended for most older adults. www.broughtbyvaccines.com/

Now, more than ever before, it is important to fully utilize the vaccines we have to help prevent the spread of disease.

A new data cut of a national survey of 3,000 US adults ages 50-79 and 300 US primary care physicians, found:

Less than half of adults in the US receive most vaccines recommended for them, in part because awareness is low.
More than three-quarters of older adults (76%) describe their current overall health as excellent or good, with a majority (67%) reporting typically seeing a healthcare provider (HCP) at least once a year, but despite this, they still are lacking on vaccine knowledge and vaccination habits.

Most physicians (80%) say getting recommended vaccines is one of the most important things older adults can do to stay healthy. Further, nearly all (96%) agree that talking with patients about the value of vaccines should be a priority for all healthcare providers.
A recommendation from an HCP is the most important factor in motivating older adults (48%) to get their vaccines.

Adults ages 50 and older may need a number of vaccines, based on their age, underlying medical conditions, lifestyle, prior vaccinations, and other considerations, including flu, shingles, pneumococcal disease, hepatitis, pertussis, and tetanus. For all adults, even those who are more health-conscious, more information and discussions with an HCP could play a critical role in improving vaccination and health outcomes.

Vaccines help protect the moments that matter in our lives and are important to help stop the spreadof disease.

Dr. Len Friedland, Vice President, and Director, Scientific Affairs and Public Health, Vaccines at GSK to learn more about the survey results and resources where your audience can learn more about recommended adult vaccines. He will be joined alternately by shingles patient advocate, Alice, who didn’t think shingles she was at risk for shingles until she contracted it at age 57.
