Kituo cha Wright cha Afya ya Jamii kinashirikiana na Lacawac Sanctuary kutambulisha mpango maarufu wa kimataifa wa Walk with a Doc kwa Wayne County kuanzia Jumamosi, Aprili 13 saa 9 asubuhi Mpango huu unawaleta madaktari na wagonjwa pamoja katika 94 Sanctuary Rd., Lake Ariel, hadi chukua hatua kuelekea afya bora Jumamosi ya pili ya kila mwezi.

Walk with a Doc ni shirika lisilo la faida ambalo dhamira yake ni kuhamasisha jumuiya kupitia harakati na mazungumzo. Matembezi hayo yapo wazi kwa jamii na watu wa rika zote. Kushiriki ni bure na kujisajili mapema hakuhitajiki. Watembezi watafurahia matembezi ya kuburudisha na kuhuisha pamoja na madaktari na wataalamu wengine wa afya, ambao watatoa usaidizi kwa washiriki na kujibu maswali wakati wa matembezi hayo.

"Ninafuraha sana kutangaza kwamba mkazi wetu na madaktari wenzetu na watoa huduma wengine wa msingi katika Kituo cha Wright wanashiriki na Lacawac Sanctuary kuleta programu hii ya kusisimua katika Kaunti ya Wayne," alisema Nicole Lipinski, muuguzi aliyesajiliwa na mkurugenzi wa shirika hilo. Laini ya Huduma ya Geriatric katika Kituo cha Wright cha Afya ya Jamii. "Imeonyesha matokeo bora ya kiafya kwa watu wengi ulimwenguni."

Kituo cha Wright pia kitazindua programu ya Kutembea na Hati huko Archbald msimu huu wa joto. Katika Jumamosi ya kwanza ya kila mwezi, kuanzia Juni 1, madaktari na wakaazi hukutana kwenye Kichwa cha Njia ya Mtaa wa Laurel ili kuzunguka Mbuga ya Ukumbusho ya David P. Maslar. Kutembea huanza kwenye Kichwa cha Njia ya Mtaa wa Laurel.

Kutembea kama dakika 30 kwa siku kunaweza kuboresha shinikizo la damu na viwango vya sukari ya damu, kusaidia kudumisha uzani mzuri wa mwili, na kupunguza hatari ya kunenepa kupita kiasi, kuboresha hali ya kiakili, na kupunguza hatari ya ugonjwa wa mifupa, kulingana na Jumuiya ya Moyo ya Amerika. .

Kwa kutumia taarifa za tafiti 16 zilizofanywa kati ya Januari 2000 na Mei 2023, Dk. Sood na watafiti wenzake walitathmini shinikizo la damu, ambalo pia linajulikana kama shinikizo la damu, kwa zaidi ya watu milioni 1 ambao walikuwa na umri wa zaidi ya miaka 18 kutoka nchi sita bila ya awali. historia ya shinikizo la damu juu ya muda wa ufuatiliaji wa miaka 2.4 hadi 18. Sababu kadhaa zinazoweza kutatanisha zinaweza kuchangia uhusiano kati ya usingizi mdogo na shinikizo la juu la damu, ikiwa ni pamoja na mambo ya mtindo wa maisha kama vile lishe duni, kutofanya mazoezi ya mwili, kuvuta sigara, unywaji pombe na mikazo ya kisaikolojia. Sababu hizo hazikubadilishwa kwa uwazi katika utafiti na zinaweza kuathiri mifumo yote ya usingizi na shinikizo la damu, Dk Sood alisema.

"Mara nyingi, kutopata usingizi wa kutosha ni jambo ambalo tunalichukulia kirahisi," Dk. Sood alisema. "Ni jambo ambalo unapaswa kuzungumza na daktari wako kwa sababu linaweza kuathiri afya yako."

Dk. Sood alisema utafiti zaidi unahitajika ili kuelewa uhusiano kati ya usingizi na shinikizo la damu, na ana nia ya kutafuta utafiti zaidi.

"Kuna nadharia nyingi tofauti zinazohusiana na mada hii ya utafiti," alisema. "Inaweza kuwa ukosefu wa usingizi huchochea mfumo wa neva wenye huruma. Ikiwa hutalala vya kutosha, mwili wako unaweza kuwa na msongo wa mawazo, jambo ambalo linaweza pia kufanya shinikizo la damu yako kupanda.”

Mzaliwa wa Punjab, Kaskazini-magharibi mwa India, alipata digrii yake ya matibabu kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Afya na Sayansi cha Washington huko San Pedro Town, Belize, mnamo Desemba 2019. Baada ya kurudi nyumbani kusaidia wazazi wake, ambao wote ni madaktari, katika kutibu wagonjwa wakati wa COVID- 19, alirudi Merika mnamo Julai 2021 kuanza Ukaazi wake wa Dawa ya Ndani katika Kituo cha Wright cha Elimu ya Uzamili ya Matibabu huko Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Hii si mara yake ya kwanza kufanya kazi na madaktari wengine kote ulimwenguni kuhusu utafiti wa matibabu.

"Ninaamini kwamba ikiwa unataka kuleta mabadiliko, unapaswa kuunganisha mawazo kutoka duniani kote," Dk. Sood alisema. "Akili ya kila mtu hufanya kazi tofauti, na kila wazo linaweza kuchanua kuwa kitu kipya."

Matokeo ya utafiti wa ushirikiano wa Dk. Sood yamechapishwa na vyombo vingi vya habari, ikiwa ni pamoja na Madaktari wa Kila Wiki , Mapitio ya Usingizi , Siku ya Afya , na Diagnostic and Interventional Cardiology .

The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education welcomed 51 new resident physicians into its regional residency programs after achieving a 100% match on National Match Day for aspiring doctors.

The National Resident Matching Program’s Match Day is held annually on the third Friday of March. Medical students nation- and worldwide simultaneously learn at which U.S. residency program they will train for the next three to seven years. It is one of the most important and competitive processes in the medical school experience.

The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education looks forward to Match Day each year as it learns which medical school graduates will continue their training in its Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited, comprehensive, and community-focused residency programs in Northeast Pennsylvania. The Wright Center is one of the largest Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Consortiums in the country, with more than 245 physicians in training.

The Wright Center matched residents in the following regional programs: Family Medicine Residency (13); Internal Medicine Residency (33); and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency (5). Resident physicians will begin the first year of their residencies on July 1 in Scranton.

The incoming first-year residents hail from 13 countries: Bahrain (1); Canada (6); China (1); India (9); Nepal (3); Pakistan (12); Philippines (2); Saint Lucia (1); Saudi Arabia (1); Serbia (1); Uganda (1); United Kingdom (1); and the United States (12).

The residency programs received 5,072 applications and interviewed 516 candidates, or about 10.17% of the applicants. The National Resident Matching Program makes residency matches, using a mathematical algorithm to pair graduating medical students with open training positions at teaching health centers, educational consortia, hospitals, and other institutions across the U.S. The model considers the top choices of both students and residency programs.

“Match Day is one of the most exciting days of the academic year and a celebration to welcome our new residents,” said Jumee Barooah, M.D., designated institutional official and senior vice president of education at The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education. “For the residents, the day represents the culmination of years of hard work and perseverance that began at an early age. For The Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education, it marks another milestone in meeting our mission.”

The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education was established in 1976 as the Scranton-Temple Residency Program, a community-based internal medicine residency. Today, The Wright Center is one of the nation’s largest HRSA-funded Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortiums. Together with consortium stakeholders, The Wright Center trains residents and fellows in a community-based, community-needs-responsive workforce development model to advance their shared mission to provide whole-person primary health services regardless of their insurance status, ZIP code, or ability to pay.

The Wright Center offers ACGME accredited residencies in three disciplines – family medicine, internal medicine, and physical medicine & rehabilitation – as well as fellowships in cardiovascular disease, gastroenterology, and geriatrics.
