2) Summary: Can Acupuncture Help Cut back on surgical pain med needs?

Name: Moira McCarthy Healthline Media

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bcrh@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Healthline Media

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 7 October

Query:

A study released Monday (I will paste it at end) found the using
"battlefield acupuncture" in surgeries such as hip replacement
cut back on the need for post op opiates.

I'd like to interview a surgeon who can talk about this notion
(could it become mainstream? Why does it work well? Dangers?) ,
as well as an acupuncturist who can talk about how this could
be something all can consider, perhaps?

Requirements:

SUPER fast turn around -- I need to do interviews today (Oct 6)
or Oct. 7. Sorry!

Here is the study info:

>>Veterans who have acupuncture before surgery report less pain
and need far fewer opioids to manage their discomfort, according
to a randomized, controlled study being presented at the
ANESTHESIOLOGY Registered 2020 annual meeting. Veterans who
received acupuncture also reported they were more satisfied with
their pain control than those who did not.

"Six percent of patients given opioids after surgery become
dependent on them, and Veterans are twice as likely to die from
accidental overdoses than civilians," said Brinda Krish, D.O.,
lead author of the study and an anesthesiology resident at
Detroit Medical Center, "Clearly it is crucial to have multiple
options for treating pain, and acupuncture is an excellent
alternative. It is safe, cost effective and it works."

In the study, both traditional and battlefield acupuncture were
used. Traditional acupuncture involves the insertion of very
thin needles at specific trigger points around the body to
relieve pain. Battlefield acupuncture, developed by a U.S. Air
Force doctor to reduce pain without the use of opioids on the
front lines, uses tiny needles that are inserted at various
trigger points in the ear.

Researchers included two groups of patients treated at John D.
Dingell VA Medical Center in Detroit. One group received hip
replacement surgery and were randomly assigned to either
traditional acupuncture or a control group before surgery; and
the other included patients undergoing a variety of surgeries
(including gallbladder removal, hernia repair, hysterectomy or
prostate surgery) who were randomly assigned to receive
battlefield acupuncture or to a control group before surgery.

In the first group, 21 patients had traditional acupuncture and
21 were in the control group. Those who had traditional
acupuncture consumed an average of 20.4 of morphine milligram
equivalent (MME) in the first 24 hours after surgery, while
patients in the control group consumed 56 MME, nearly three
times as much. Traditional acupuncture patients reported
significantly higher satisfaction scores regarding their
postoperative pain management 24 hours after surgery (median 8
vs. 5). Patient satisfaction was estimated using a scale (0-10)
- with 10 being completely satisfied. Acupuncture patients
reported less pain and 14% reported less anxiety.

In the second group, 28 patients received battlefield
acupuncture and 36 patients were in the control group. Those who
had battlefield acupuncture consumed half as many opioids in the
first 24 hours after surgery compared to the control group: 17.4
MME vs. 35 MME. Those who received battlefield acupuncture had
significantly lower pain scores and higher patient satisfaction
scores (a median of 8 vs. 6) compared to the control group. Only
3% reported nausea and vomiting after surgery, compared to 38%
of the control group. Researchers believe nausea and vomiting
may have been reduced in the treatment group because some of the
acupuncture points in the ear are located near trigger points
for the stomach, gall bladder and small intestines.

"Some patients were open to trying acupuncture right away, and
others became more interested when they learned more about the
risks of opioid use," said Dr. Krish. "It's easy, patients love
it, it's not just another medicine and it's very safe. Because
battlefield acupuncture was developed by an armed services
doctor, Veterans also were more willing to participate."

The acupuncture was provided by the study's principal
investigator, physician anesthesiologist Padmavathi Patel, M.D.,
D.ABA, who plans to use battlefield acupuncture as an additional
therapy for pain management for all patients receiving general
anesthesia, Dr. Krish said.<<

14) Summary: Retirement/401k Advisers: How does this teaching strategy help employees save for retirement?

Name: Christopher Carosa FiduciaryNews.com

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bcsm@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: FiduciaryNews.com

Deadline: 9:00 PM EST - 6 October

Query:

Teachers will often assign presentation projects to students.
The theory behind this is that there's the concept that the best
was to learn something is to teach it to someone else. This same
strategy could help increase financial literacy. Please email
your answers to these questions by the deadline. PR folks,
please don't ask if we're interested (we are!), just have your
clients email their answers to us.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE LIMIT YOUR RESPONSES TO THE SPECIFIC SUBJECT
OF SAVING FOR RETIREMENT, DO NOT REFERENCE GENERIC FINANCIAL
PLANNING TOPICS.

ALSO, THIS IS NOT A QUESTION ABOUT HOW TO EDUCATE PLAN
PARTICIPANTS, IT'S ABOUT HOW PLAN PARTICIPANTS CAN BE TAUGHT TO
EDUCATE OTHERS.

1) If you are aware of any examples of 401k education programs
that assign "homework" to employees that requires them to teach
retirement savings fundamentals to someone else, please describe
it (i.e., who does it, what do they say to do, where are
employees encouraged to do this, and how are they told to do it).

2) Let's explore some examples of how this might work. Here are
several "homework" assignment" to consider:

2a) Talk to a community organization (like a church group,
service club, or fraternal association) - What would you ask
employees to talk to these groups about?

2b) Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts for badge work - What would you
suggest employees talk to these groups about?

2c) Their own children/family members - How would you suggest
employees talk to these people?

3) Of the three examples above, which of these three groups
would offer the best opportunity and why?

4) Why do you think having employees, for example, teach their
own children how to set up an IRA to save for retirement, might
help those employees become more committed to saving for their
own retirement?

5) Bonus Question #1: How would plan sponsors create an program
that would help employees teach others? Who would they ask to do
this? What incentives might they provide?

6) Bonus Question #2: If parent's convince their children to
save the max into a Child IRA during their teen years through
high school graduation, those Child IRAs will likely grow in
excess of $2 million. Why is this "Teen IRA" a power tool for
parents and their children?

7) State your name, title, firm, and City/State location

affordability before committing to a home or area? 5. Do you
believe we will start to see more markets provide more
affordable homes in the near future? Why/why not? 6. Any other

forbearance (e.g., request another six-month extension of
forbearance for a total of 12 months)? 6. What are the steps
