(BPT) - Muchas personas participan en ensayos clínicos por diversas razones. Algunas son voluntarios sanos que quieren contribuir al progreso de la ciencia, mientras que otras padecen un trastorno o enfermedad, y quieren beneficiarse con las opciones de tratamiento más recientes y la atención adicional del personal clínico. Sin embargo, la indecisión a la hora de participar sigue presente, ya que existen muchos conceptos erróneos sobre los ensayos clínicos.

Como aconseja la Dra. Gwen Nichols, Directora Médica de The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the Leukemia &Lymphoma Society (LLS), líder mundial en la lucha contra el cáncer en la sangre, “Nada debe interponerse entre usted y su atención médica”.

“Los ensayos clínicos les dan a los pacientes recién diagnosticados el acceso a terapias de vanguardia, y además pueden salvarles la vida a otros cuando el tratamiento convencional de atención ha fracasado”, agrega la Dra. Nichols. “Pero nos damos cuenta de que hay muchas razones por las cuales los pacientes con cáncer no buscan ensayos clínicos, como la falta de conocimiento de los mismos, el miedo y la desconfianza en el sistema médico, los costos y los desafíos logísticos”.

Por medio de sus recientes subvenciones de investigación IMPACT (Influential Medicine Providing Access to Clinical Trials), LLS tiene como objetivo mejorar la diversidad en los ensayos clínicos, mediante la promoción de un mejor acceso para las comunidades insuficientemente representadas.

“El conocimiento es poder”, asegura la Dra. Nichols. “Para obtener el máximo beneficio de la investigación, necesitamos que los ensayos clínicos reflejen la diversidad de la población estadounidense”. Dicho esto, la Dra. Nichols nos ayuda a aclarar los siguientes mitos:

Mito #1: Me tratarán como a un conejillo de Indias.

Verificación de información: Los ensayos clínicos son estudios de investigación creados cuidadosamente, que priorizan la salud y la seguridad de los pacientes. Antes de que haga patente su disposición de participar, se le guiará por los pasos del proceso de consentimiento informado. Usted podrá recopilar información y hacer preguntas, y tiene derecho a que se le explique exhaustivamente dicho proceso si no entiende algo. La participación en un ensayo clínico siempre depende de usted, y puede abandonar el estudio en cualquier momento.

Mito #2: Los ensayos clínicos son el último recurso. Solo puedo participar si me he quedado sin opciones de tratamiento.

Verificación de información: Los ensayos clínicos se realizan con pacientes en todas las etapas de enfermedad y tratamiento. Al participar, usted se unirá a un equipo de médicos y pacientes que comparten su deseo de mejorar el tratamiento del cáncer y otras enfermedades, tanto ahora como en el futuro.

Mito #3: Voy a recibir un placebo sin saberlo.

Verificación de información: A muchas personas les preocupa la posibilidad de recibir un placebo (píldora, líquido o polvo inactivo). La gran mayoría de los ensayos clínicos sobre el cáncer no usan placebo, a menos que se administre junto conjuntamente con un medicamento activo. Si el ensayo utilizará un placebo, se le informará a través del consentimiento informado antes de que usted se inscriba como participante.

Mito #4: Participar en un ensayo clínico afectará a mi familia.

Verificación de información: Hable con su médico sobre lo que significa para usted y sus seres queridos la incorporación a un ensayo clínico. Los niveles de participación varían según el ensayo. Algunos pueden requerir viajes frecuentes al hospital, y es posible que necesite alguien para el cuidado de sus hijos, o solicitar licencia en su centro de trabajo. Independientemente de la atención que elija, puede haber servicios de apoyo disponibles para usted y sus seres queridos con la ayuda de organizaciones como LLS.

Mito #5: Los ensayos clínicos son gratuitos.

Verificación de información: La terapia que se está estudiando en el ensayo clínico es gratuita, pero generalmente los pacientes son responsables de la terapia convencional de atención, la admisión, el transporte a hospitales o clínicas, y otros costos asociados. Consulte siempre con su médico acerca de sus opciones y costos de tratamiento antes de hacer cualquier compromiso.

Las Clinical Trial Nurse Navigators de LLS, enfermeras certificadas con experiencia en cáncer de la sangre, están disponibles para ayudar personalmente a pacientes y cuidadores durante el proceso del ensayo clínico. Para obtener información, los pacientes pueden comunicarse con un especialista en información de LLS llamando al número telefónico (800) 955-4572, por el chat en vivo o enviando un mensaje de correo electrónico.

Surprising ways you might be attracting mosquitoes

"Bigdoggpinc" - I am your Eyeball Acquisition Specialist. Success in life, in anything, depends upon the number of persons that one can make himself agreeable to. #mindfulness #goingaboveandbeyond #bigdoggpinc

(BPT) - These days you’re probably enjoying your outdoor spaces more than ever — and looking for ways to make them more comfortable, relaxing and fun for your family and friends when you get together. On top of upgrading your deck or patio, sprucing up your landscaping, and investing in some new outdoor furniture, you’re also probably trying to reduce some of the common pain points that plague outdoor spaces — like too much sun, and too many pests.

A recent survey of 2,000 American homeowners found that 41% of them made more investments in outdoor pest control during the pandemic, and 69% planned to make even more use of their outdoor spaces as the weather continues to warm up. The survey, conducted by TruGreen in partnership with OnePoll, found that 42% of respondents anticipated that mosquitoes would be their biggest pest this year.

While nobody enjoys having mosquitoes hanging around their outdoor barbeque or picnic, did you know there are things you’re doing that attract mosquitoes?

Here’s how you may be inviting mosquitoes to your outdoor party, and what you can do about it:

• Drinking beer and wine. Mosquitoes are attracted to high levels of carbon dioxide, elevated temperatures, and lactic acid — which all increase in your body when you drink alcohol, especially fermented beverages like beer and wine.
• Serving sugary foods and drinks. Mosquitoes need sugar to survive, and while they prefer to get their sugar fix from natural sources like plant nectar, the scent of sugary foods like baked treats and sugary sodas will also attract them.
• Wearing dark clothing. Dark-colored clothing retains heat more than light-colored clothing does, so choosing lighter colors will not only keep you cooler but likely less appealing to pesky mosquitoes.

What can you do to discourage mosquitoes from entering your outdoor space?

• Bring in a professional. Partnering with a professional service like TruGreen for mosquito control can help you enjoy your outdoor living space to the fullest this summer — providing much more effective, long-lasting protection against those pesky party crashers. TruGreen uses its science-based and local expertise to control and manage potentially disease-carrying insects in your outdoor living spaces.
• Crank up the fan. Mosquitoes aren’t the strongest flyers in the insect world, so they prefer not to fly into areas where wind or a fan is blowing around. Keeping a fan going outside, even if it’s blowing warm air around, will help keep pests away.
• Tidy up. Maintain a lawn clear of debris such as twigs, branches, and leaves to help prevent mosquitoes from making your home into theirs. Trimming overgrown vegetation will help prevent mosquitoes from hanging out, as they tend to prefer shaded areas.

"While you can try some natural methods to help keep pests at bay, by far the best protection from mosquitoes is using a professional pest control service like TruGreen," said TruGreen entomologist John Bell. “We have the science-backed know-how to effectively control and reduce mosquito populations, guaranteeing that your outdoor living space is comfortable for your family, friends, and even your pets.”

You won't have to worry about mosquitoes invading your fun if you engage a professional service. You can fully enjoy those long summer days and evenings comfortably outdoors. Visit TruGreen.com to learn more and to find a service near you.

The perfect sips, trips and tips for a satisfying summer season

"Bigdoggpinc" - I am your Eyeball Acquisition Specialist. Success in life, in anything, depends upon the number of persons that one can make himself agreeable to. #mindfulness #goingaboveandbeyond #bigdoggpinc

(BPT) - After a year like no other, everyone is seeking ways to celebrate the summer and enjoy those little things that make such a big difference. You don’t have to be a wine expert to know that the right wine or cocktail for the occasion can make any get-together truly outstanding. Whether you’re hanging out with friends around the grill or embarking on an epic road trip, here are tips for relearning how to enjoy the moment.

1. Stemware for everywhere

Or better yet — stemless wineglasses! Find unbreakable, shatterproof, insulated wineglasses online that are just perfect for your next patio party, beach day or glamping trip. There are plenty of choices for insulated tumblers and coolers to keep wine and other beverages chilled and safe, no matter where you go.

2. Choose wines that are bright, light and just right

Whether relaxing with friends on the beach or around your backyard fire pit, enjoy a light, refreshing white wine that’s fragrant, vibrantly fruity and crisp, like the 2020 Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. The vineyards are planted along the Wairau River’s edge, creating quality wines to help you enjoy the moment.

3. Keep cool

When you’re enjoying an outdoor get-together, you’ll want to prevent wine from getting too warm — even reds. One trick is to store wine bottles in a cooler or a bucket filled with ice, salt and water. The salt in the water helps bring the freezing point of water below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. Inspire your inner mixologist

Did you know wines can be used to create refreshing summer drinks? Add seasonal fruit or herbs to transform a favorite wine into a cooling cocktail.

Create your own Moscato Moscow Mule with this easy recipe:

Ingredients

• 5 ounces Seven Daughters Moscato
• A few ounces club soda
• Lime
• Ginger ale

Instructions

Mix Seven Daughters Moscato and club soda.
Add squeeze of lime and top with ginger ale.
Garnish with lime wedge.
Makes 1 serving.

5. Rediscover wine country

When you’re itching to get away from it all, why not sip your way through a tasting flight at a winery? With over 11,000 wineries across the U.S., you have plenty to choose from. You can even find hidden gems in parts of well-known Napa, like the Maxville Winery in the Chiles Valley. This unique winery started as a summer camp, with its first grapevines planted back in 1974. Today, you can visit the winery and sample the Estate Maxville Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Red Blend and Petite Sirah.

6. Fire up the grill and chill

When you’re grilling outdoors, choosing a wine that complements whatever you’re barbecuing can be challenging, but when you find one that can really bring out the flavor of your food, everything tastes that much better.

Here’s an easy rule of thumb:

For traditionalists, burgers, ribs and steaks pair perfectly with a Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel or even a Malbec. For lighter fare like grilled fish, chicken, pork chops or veggies, choose a lighter wine to pair with it, like a Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Rose.
