OSC Community Lecture Series Pre OSC Provides Open MRI for Patient Comfort

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Open MRI) is an advanced diagnostic imaging procedure that creates detailed images of internal anatomic structures. By using powerful magnetic waves and a computer, nerves, discs, ligaments, cartilage and tendons can be seen clearly. Open MRI refers to the larger space that is given for patients in the machine. This is better for all patients, especially those who are claustrophobic, of a large build, pediatric patients or for those who suffer from Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome. Our Open system is quiet, comfortable and very easily tolerated. We will help to make your MRI a very pleasant experience.

It’s true what they say about couples; opposites really do attract. In my marriage, for example, it’s those polar-opposite personality traits that interlock with surprising ease, complementing one another to form a whole. Brian is the classic “Type B” artist, dreamer, philosopher—unwilling to wear a watch much less conform to “the rules.” Then there’s me—the “Type A,” the natural-born planner. I manage our work and social calendars, pay our bills, keep a system of files for everything and remind Brian of what he’s most likely to forget. And like most moms, I stay on top of Cami’s bedtime, naptime, eating and childcare schedules and never, ever leave home without a diaper bag over-stocked with the essentials. It’s no coincidence, then, that an editor’s job is just as much about planning ahead as it is working with copy to correct grammar and refine language. At any given time, I could be working two, three, four or more months ahead, laying the foundation for upcoming issues. But every once in a while a story comes along that is so compelling that we follow our instincts and adjust our plans. Sometimes a story just has to be told. We’d originally planned to run a feature story this month on ways people can become more heart-healthy. I’d sought input from local cardiologists and searched for artwork that would best illustrate the story. That’s when I got the e-mail: a local father, Ed Lampitt, asked whether The Health Journal would consider publishing an essay he’d written chronicling his family’s recent emotional journey beginning with the shocking diagnosis of his daughter, Josephine Rose, and ending with her tragic death, at only 10 months of age. This Feb. 16 marks the one-year anniversary of Josephine’s death; at the same time, however, the Lampitts are anticipating the arrival of their second son, due early this March. They now wrestle with a question of great magnitude: how to celebrate the birth of one child while still grieving the loss of another. In “Remembering Josephine,” which begins on page 22, Lampitt shares insight into his family’s pain after Josephine was diagnosed with Gaucher disease Type II, an incurable and untreatable metabolic disorder, which began as a set of minor symptoms and progressed rapidly. Josephine’s struggle ended one year ago, but her family’s continues. Once rendered helpless by the disease, the Lampitts are now channeling their grief towards a larger cause: raising awareness about Gaucher Type II and helping a little-known charity in California raise money for research in hopes of one day having an effective treatment for the disorder. This story has found a special place in my heart, and I hope it will in yours, too. We thank the Lampitt family for allowing us to share with readers some of their most treasured photos. Many of these images (including this month’s cover photo of Josephine and her father) were captured by Josephine’s great aunt, who, last February, made an overnight drive from Georgia to give the Lampitts a precious gift—a series of photographs taken during Josephine’s last days. Though sections of it are extremely painful to read, Lampitt’s essay offers us a precious gift, too: A reminder to make the most of our time with loved ones, because we never know what tomorrow may hold. Plan as we might, he writes, we must learn to accept those things we cannot control.

February Favorites Chobani Greek Yogurt ($12 for a 12-pack, Costco) This smooth, creamy, fruit-on-the-bottom, Greek-style yogurt tastes too good to be fatfree—but it is! Each cup packs a whopping 14 grams of protein and only 140 calories. Other attributes: Gluten-free, Kosher, no preservatives, live and active cultures for digestive health. My new breakfast-on-the-go.

Skechers Shape-Ups ($110, www.skechers.com) After some hinting, Brian bought me these shoes for Christmas. I’ve been wearing them while running errands and pushing Cami around the block in her stroller. They’re designed to tone and firm, promote weight loss, strengthen the lower back and reduce ankle strain. I definitely feel the burn in my calves and glutes, a feeling similar to walking in wet sand. Skechers now carries these in all kinds of styles, not just tennis shoes (I’ve seen calf-high boots and Mary Janes)—plus famous athletic-wear brands like Avia and Reebok have followed suit with their own fitnesswalking shoes.

Hot Yoga (classes range from $10 to $15 each) Every winter I find myself returning to this great source of stressrelief. Warm, moist air makes muscles more flexible and forces your body to sweat out toxins—just be sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after a class. Most local studios offer an introductory trial week at a discounted rate (Body Balance in Williamsburg and Tidewater Hot Yoga in Yorktown both do), so check out our Health Directory in this issue for a hot yoga studio near you.

Partners in Practice WRITTEN BY JOY VANN

PHOTO COURTESY OF OPERATION SMILE

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, The Health Journal brings you stories of local couples who share more than just a marriage—they both work in the medical field, often in the same office. Read what the following four couples have to say about the joys and challenges of being partners in practice…and in life.

Dr. William & Kathy Magee: Operation Smile

s founders of Norfolk-based Operation Smile, the world-renowned non-profit organization dedicated to treating children with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities, Bill and Kathy Magee work together tirelessly. Add five children of their own to the equation, and miraculously is more like it. The couple, married 42 years, started dating in their hometown of Fort Lee, N.J., while in high school. They married eight years later when Bill was still in dentistry school at the University of Maryland. Though the two didn’t work together until founding Operation Smile, they worked hard to take care of their children, starting with the first who was born 15 months after they married. Their dual career, which they describe as a “passion,” began when the Magees founded Operation Smile in 1982. Today Kathy is the full-time volunteer president and Bill is the chief executive officer. Taking advantage of unforeseen opportunities and chances has been the cornerstone of the Magee marriage. For instance, during one pregnancy when Kathy went into early labor, they went to the hospital where Bill’s father was a physician. It was there that an oral surgeon encouraged Bill to pursue medical school. Bill asked Kathy her opinion about con-

6 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

tinuing his education and becoming a craniofacial surgeon, along with the loans that went with such an endeavor. She didn’t hesitate and said, “If that’s what you want to do, do it.” While Bill attended George Washington University Medical School (while seeing dental patients for extra income), Kathy continued her nursing and social work education at night. With children, that required a lot of coordination and sacrifice on each spouse’s part. “We had three children under [the age of] three, and it was worth it for me to stay home, Kathy says. “At night, Bill took over. I saw the children to bed and then went to school for my master’s degree.” For instance, while in his last year of medical school, Bill had an opportunity to study in Switzerland with a leading oral surgeon. He’d saved enough money through his dental practice to take a leap of faith and bring his family to Europe. It was a worthwhile risk that led to a stint in Paris with world-renowned craniofacial physician Dr. Paul Tessier. Though the Magees then had four children under the age of five, they left for Paris, unknowingly planting the roots for Operation Smile. “One thing led to the next and the next, and our openness about not having money and worrying about the shoestrings and loans paid off,” Bill says. “Both of our personalities are very accepting of challenges.”

Kathy added: “People we met along the way all became part of Operation Smile—in Switzerland, France, New York. We began to gather people, seemingly in the short term, making friends along the way who became long-term friends.” Another opportunity presented itself when the Magees received an invitation to go to the Philippines on a medical mission. “The experience shocked all of us,” Bill says. “We treated 40 kids and watched as 250 were sent away. It’s one thing to watch it on TV, but to be in a small room and see what’s really going on, it’s an overwhelming experience.” That’s when Operation Smile was born. When the couple returned from that trip, they knew that they had to go back to continue the work. They enlisted the help of a few friends, who then enlisted the help of their friends. Since that inspired beginning, Operation Smile has provided free surgeries to more than 140,000 children in 50 countries. Today Bill maintains a private practice in Norfolk and is co-director of the Institute for Craniofacial and Plastic Surgery at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters. (He is also an associate professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School.) Through their shared journey the Magees have learned to turn whatever stress they face in working so closely together into something positive and productive. “We’re two different individuals with two different approaches and skill sets,” Bill says. “Fortunately for us, they complement each other and that has become our advantage.” Having such passion for their work means that OpSmile talk is rarely off the table, though it doesn’t overwhelm their lives. Says Bill: “You talk about what’s important to you. We have a lot of other interests. Family is a very big interest, and our family is centered around one another. We take vacations, sometimes with 25 to 30 family members. We play a lot of sports and do a lot of things together. Whatever is dominant at that moment is what we talk about.” When asked what advice the Magees could offer to other couples embarking on a shared career, Bill says, “You have to be cognizant of what each other’s strengths are and celebrate those strengths and hope that your weakness will be their strength. You have to be respectful in the process and maintain your own independence. You have to know who you are to know who the other person is.” Kathy offers a pragmatic suggestion for couples who work together: Know when to turn the phone off. “Some calls can wait until morning,” she says. “You have to respect that. There’s a reason it’s called a ‘crackberry.’ You have to be able to say, ‘Put that crackberry down.’”

Maryview Appoints New Cancer Liaison Physician

Oncologists Elizabeth Harden & Richard Hoefer

“W

e fell in love in 1988 while serving in the Air Force in San Antonio,” says Elizabeth “Betsy” Harden. “It was 1989,” Rick gently corrects. They both laugh. Such is the give and take—and sense of humor— that these oncology professionals have employed to build their marriage of 23 years. Betsy is an oncologist with Virginia Oncology Associates, (VOA) and Rick is a surgical oncologist at the Dorothy G. Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center in Newport News (his mother is the founding benefactor). “Though we’re not in the same practice, we see a lot of the same patients,” Betsy says. “Rick does surgeries and I do medical therapy and chemotherapy.” Rick, a member of Sentara Surgical Specialists, explains that his group has a joint venture with VOA to develop oncology programs throughout the region, which often leads to treating the same patients, particularly breast cancer patients. “We work closely together to decide on what’s best for the patient, along with mammographers and radiographers,” Betsy says. “It’s a very exciting multidisciplinary program that we have here.” The couple doesn’t allow the stress of working together and being in such a high-pressure profession to get to them. “We have a pretty good way of turning things off,” Betsy says. “We’ll talk shop over dinner and things like that. We have a pretty good way of communicating. We have a lot of fun. It’s very rewarding to be on the same wavelength about a lot of things.” Rick continues: “We each understand what the other’s career is like. I have a pretty good idea what

her day is like and what her stresses are like. It’s very helpful when a spouse understands what the other spouse does. I value her opinion and she values mine, which is always a good thing in a relationship.” While both work many hours and often don’t see each other at home, they also work hard to keep their romance alive. Says Betsy: “We try to reserve time for us. Friday night is our standing date night, and we make sure to have time with each other.” She adds that

“I value her opinion and she values mine, which is always a good thing in a relationship.” —Dr. Richard Hoefer carving out time together has become easier since she scaled back on her on-call duty to care for her ailing mother. Adds Rick: “There always has to be some give and take. We’ve really been blessed in that we love what we do, and that’s a big help. We each respect each other in terms of his or her own career and that’s played a big part as well.” While healing cancer patients is still the main goal for the couple, they now are willing to take a little more time for themselves. “We both love to work and hope to keep working a long time,” says Betsy. “But we’re hoping for more vacation time together as the years go on.”

Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center has appointed Emily B. Rivet, M.D., as Cancer Liaison Physician for the cancer program at the medical center, a position she will hold for the next three years. Rivet will lead the hospital’s Commission on Cancer (CoC) initiatives, cancer programs accredited by the American College of Surgeons. She will also collaborate with local agencies and facilitate quality improvement using data submitted by CoC’s National Cancer Database.

Drs. Michelle & Scott Eichelberger: Chesapeake Pediatrics

PAGE BISHOP-FREER

rs. Michelle and Scott Eichelberger, pediatricians at CHKD’s Chesapeake Pediatrics, fell in love while attending James Madison University. At the time, neither imagined that in the future they might marry and work together. The two went on to Eastern Virginia Medical School and completed residency training at East Carolina University, marrying and having their first child along the way. When Scott changed his career path from internal medicine to pediatrics, the two began to interview together, hoping to be hired at the same practice. They were thrilled when they were both offered jobs at Chesapeake Pediatrics. “It was a very young practice and we had the opportunity to get in on the ground level and help to build it up,” Scott says. “And we’ve been here ever since.” The Eichelbergers have four children, ages 12 to 21, and they say that working at the same practice hasn’t hindered them from balancing their personal and professional lives. “Our practice is good about granting schedule requests, and that really helps us out,” Scott says. Michelle adds: “That helps because we can take care of the kids in shifts. One of the nice things about working together is that when he was on call and wanted to coach one of the children’s ball games, I’d hold the beeper for him. We could cover each other that way.” Being married and working together has also enhanced their professional life. As Scott says: “It’s been good to bounce medical issues off each other. If a patient comes in presenting with difficult issues, we’ll talk about it. It’s like having a built-in consult all the time.” When asked about the difficulty of ceasing talk about patients and their practice, they laugh. “Our children have a distinct answer to that,” says Michelle. Scott follows: “At the dinner table, they’ll say, ‘OK. No more shop talk.’” For young couples starting out, the Eichelbergers agree that having a foundation built on faith and trust is the most important thing for two people to share. “We feel like our Christian faith helped us through difficult times, Scott says. And you’ve got to have trust.” “If you’re on shaky ground to start with and you’re not solid going into [a marriage], you’re put in some jeopardy because [relationships are] hard. Our advantage was that we knew each other for several years before medical school. Sometimes couples who meet in med school or residency have difficulties as their relationship grows. We got to know each other without [the] stress of med school.” Having a married couple on the team also brings a lot of humor for the staff. “The nurses love to hear my stories about Scott,”

says Michelle, “so they can use them for ammunition [to tease him]. Nothing is secret around here.” That “everybody-knows-what-everybody-is-doing” element of the medical community is one that they’ve grown comfortable with over the years. Says Michelle, “When I got pregnant during residency, I had to call Scott and tell him on the phone because I knew that before I got back to the hospital, he’d hear it from someone other than me.” She continues: “Our lives are an open book, and we’re comfortable with that. Other people in relationships might not be as comfortable with that and prefer to be more private.” All and all, raising a family and working together has been a boon for the Eichelbergers. “It’s been a good ride,” says Scott. “I can’t imagine doing this without her. I can’t imagine not doing medicine, period—and I can’t imagine being in practice without her.” Continued on page 10

“One of the nice things about working together is that when he was on call and wanted to coach one of the children’s ball games, I’d hold the beeper for him. We could cover each other that way.” —Dr. Michelle Eichelberger

Continued from page 9

Patricia “Cooka” & Dr. James “Jim” Shaw: Lackey Free Clinic

im and Cooka Shaw met in the eighth grade and married while Jim was a fourth-year medical student. When the Shaws’ first child arrived, Cooka, a nurse, became a stay-at-home mother. Though she worked part-time on and off through the years, the thought of working alongside Jim “never crossed the radar screen.” That changed when Jim, a pulmonologist, was still in full-time practice at Riverside Regional Medical Center. The couple felt a shared calling to serve the Peninsula’s growing number of uninsured people. In 1995, the Shaws and a friend from Rising Sun Baptist Church in Yorktown started offering free medical treatment one night per week at the church. Two years later, as patient numbers increased along with the number of volunteers to treat them, the clinic moved to the nearby Charles E. Brown Community Center. As word spread about the clinic, it increased its hours to be open two days a week, then three, and it is now open five days a week. In 2003, the Lackey Free Clinic opened on Old Williamsburg Road (in the Lackey area of Yorktown), providing a full range of medical services daily. Today, with more than 60 volunteer physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists and administrative staff, the Shaws have stepped back from day-to-day operations. Jim still sees patients, and Cooka works the front desk one day a week, but they now primarily enjoy watching their faith-based ministry thrive through dedicated volunteers. 10 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

“I was focused on medical issues because that’s the way I was trained and the way my brain works. Cooka has always focused on love and compassion.” —Dr. Jim Shaw Says Cooka: “When someone has to quit or others move to warmer weather during the winter, the phone will ring with someone who wants to do just that job of the person who left….We give the credit to God.” Working together has never been stressful for the Shaws, largely because of their calm demeanors and the fact that they kept operations manageable, growing gradually over the years. Jim says their strengths grew to complement one another, with him providing medical oversight and Cooka providing the warm embrace they wanted their patients to feel. “I was focused on medical issues because that’s the way I was trained and the way my brain works,” says Jim. “Cooka has always focused on love and compassion. Because these patients are turned away from so

many doctors’ offices, it was our vision that we make them feel welcome. They are so often pushed aside because they don’t have health insurance.” Cooka summarizes their shared vision and work by saying, “We care about the whole person, not just the medical problem.” Though the clinic has been prominent in the couple’s life, family, friends and outside interests have provided balance—though Cooka adds that maintaining balance takes some effort. “You have to understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses,” she says. “Through the years, we’ve gained an understanding. He’s the brains and I’m the hands, feet and heart. He keeps me in line, and I keep him in line.” After 44 years of marriage, the Shaws feel they can offer some solid advice to young couples considering marriage or shared careers: “Pray about it, and try to understand what each other’s position is going to be,” says Cooka. “So many people jump into marriage and don’t discuss the serious aspects. You have to ask, ‘What are your expectations of me? What do you need from me in this endeavor?’” Having created a successful free clinic that meets the needs of the medically disadvantaged, the Shaws are happy with its success. “We just put one foot in front of the other and went at it,” Cooka says. “It just took on a life of its own. We believe in God’s plan. We never imagined working as a team, but it’s been wonderful.”

he TRX (Total Resistance eXercise) suspension training system is new, but it looks and feels old. A simple, lowtech exercise modality—all substance and no flash—it uses straps, a central pivot point and your own body weight to transform the way you work out. Celebrities, professional athletes, U.S. Marines, Navy Seals, Ultimate Fighting Champs and NFL teams use this system. It’ll work you harder than any other gym session, and you’ll feel the benefits immediately. Best of all, it’s portable. You can use it at home, in a hotel room or even in your office.

To understand the strengths of this system, you need to know its origins. While serving in the U.S. Military, Navy Seal Randy Hetrick (now retired) often did body weight exercises like push-ups and pull-ups, but he found that he couldn’t work the muscles of his back and legs effectively. So, in 1996, he created his own suspension system from extra parachute harnesses. Once it became popular, he started manufacturing the TRX system on a commercial scale. Since then, it has become widely used throughout the U.S. and the world.

ALL THE RIGHT MOVES

Here is a circuit of six exercises designed to rebuild your body from head to toe. Perform each exercise for 60 seconds, moving quickly between each one. Work your way up to completing three sets of the entire circuit, for a total of 20 minutes.

1. CHEST PRESS works: chest, shoulders and triceps With back to the TRX, stand with feet hip-width apart, holding handles with arms extended forward and parallel to floor, palms down. Lean forward onto balls of feet. Bend elbows and lean body further forward, lifting one leg behind you (as shown). Return to start position and repeat with opposite leg.

2. SINGLE-LEG SQUAT works: glutes, legs and core Convert straps to the single-handle position. With back to TRX, place right toes into handle and hop left foot forward, hands on hips. Bend left knee, lowering to a lunge, keeping knee over ankle (as shown). Rise to standing position and repeat for 30 seconds. Switch legs. 3. SQUAT TO ROW works: glutes, shoulders, back and legs Facing the TRX, hold one handle in each hand. Squat (as shown). As you return to standing position, pull elbows back until the wrists are at your hips. Repeat. 4. MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS works: chest, shoulders and core Kneel, facing away from the TRX, and hook toes into handles. Walk hands forward until legs and back are straight (plank position). Bring one knee to chest (as shown) and continue to alternate. 5. HAMSTRING CURL足 works: hamstrings, glutes and low back Lie on your back and place heels in the TRX handles, legs extended, arms at sides. Lift hips until torso aligns with the legs and body forms a straight line. Bend knees, bringing heels toward glutes (as shown). Return to starting position and repeat. 6. SINGLE-LEG PUSH-UP TO PIKE works: entire body Kneel, facing away from the TRX, and hook right toes into handles. Walk hands forward until legs and back are straight (body is in a push-up position) and cross left foot over right. Lower into a push-up, keeping body in a straight line. Push your body up and lift glutes to ceiling, keeping legs straight and shoulders over hands (as shown). Extend body back to start position and repeat.

breast cancer,” Lee and colleagues wrote. The recommendations also cover the use of magnetic resonance imaging or MRI and breast ultrasound in women who are at high risk of breast cancer because they have mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes or a family history of breast cancer. In these women, breast mammograms should begin by age 30, but not before age 25, when the risk of radiation exposure from the mammograms begins to outweigh the benefits of screening. Dr. Phil Evans of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and president of the Society for Breast Imaging said the guidelines are based on the latest clinical trial data. “Where the data was not present, we looked at recommendations that reflect expert consensus opinion,” he said in a telephone interview. He said they also help fill in some gaps in terms of how to screen high-risk women. In women who have BRCA mutations, the group recommends annual MRI screening, a more sensitive test, in addition to mammograms starting by age 30. Women who have a greater than 20 percent lifetime risk of breast cancer based on family history should also have annual MRI scans starting at 30. For high-risk women who cannot get an MRI, often because of claustrophobia, a breast ultrasound should be used instead, Evans said. The two groups did not consider the harms associated with routine screening at an earlier age, such as false positive results, which the task force was trying to balance. “The reason for that is there have been studies that have shown women would rather have their cancer found, even if it means having to have a biopsy. The harms, from most studies we’ve seen, did not seem to be all that real,” Evans said.

ammograms should begin at 40 for women with an average risk of breast cancer and by 30 for high-risk women, according to guidelines released in January by two groups that specialize in breast imaging, contradicting controversial guidelines from a U.S. advisory panel last year. The joint recommendations from the American College of Radiology and the Society of Breast Imaging take into account the success of annual mammography screening starting at age 40, said Dr. Carol Lee of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, whose study appears in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. “The significant decrease in breast cancer mortality, which amounts to nearly 30 percent since 1990, is a major medical success and is due largely to earlier detection of breast cancer through mammography screening,” Lee said in a statement. The recommendations have been in the works for about two years, but they serve in part as a rebuttal to guidelines issued in November by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which recommended against routine breast mammograms for women in their 40s to spare them some of the worry and expense of extra tests to distinguish between cancer and harmless lumps. Those recommendations contradicted years of messages about the need for routine breast cancer screening starting at age 40, sparking a rebellion from among breast cancer specialists who argued the guidelines would confuse women and result in more deaths from breast cancer. “Amidst all the furor, the ACR and the SBI stand firmly behind their recommendation that screening mammography should be performed annually beginning at age 40 for women at average risk for

fitness

n most gyms, the most versatile piece of equipment is the cable crossover—yet many people are intimidated by it. The cable crossover is nothing to fear—it’s simply a pulley system attached to a weight stack and is mounted on two towers. It can bring variety to any fitness routine and, if used correctly, can work every muscle group. Plus, the crossover’s attachments make it easy to transition from one exercise to another. Cable exercises provide a unique training stimulus. The crossover’s pulley system allows muscles to maintain constant tension, allowing for greater muscle isolation and contraction. In other words, it works your muscles in a completely different way than traditional free weights.

CROSSOVER CABLES WRITTEN BY GREG TUDOR, CPT PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIAN M. FREER

The full-body workout on the following page uses only the cable crossover. The workout was designed to help you understand the machine while experiencing a radically different strength workout. I recommend that you aim for three sets of each exercise, 12 repetitions each. Try the entire routine, or add one or more of these exercises to your existing program. You will definitely feel the difference and see increased results. So, turn the page—and learn how the cable crossover can create a fitter, stronger you. Continued on page 18

Questions About Medical Weight Loss—Answered! What does Bariatrics mean? Why choose a Bariatric Internist? The term bariatric is derived from the Greek word “bari” meaning weight. A Bariatric physician specializes in the medical treatment of overweight and obese patients. An Internist, who has specialized in the management of obese patients, has the skill and clinical acumen to treat even the most complicated patients; including those who have diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, sleep apnea or cancer.

How much weight can I lose? Our first goal will be for you to lose 10% of your body weight. With a 10% weight loss, you reduce your health risk for diabetes, coronary artery disease and cancer. Patients using the HMR® meal replacement program (DecisionFree™ Diet) will generally lose more weight. Most patients on the Decision-Free™ Diet will lose in excess of 30-60 lbs, some upward of 100 lbs. The majority of our patients lose 15-20% of their body weight.

How fast will I lose weight? One pound is equal to 3500 calories, so to lose a pound a week, you need to reduce your diet by 500 calories every day. The weight loss is

516 of our patients have lost a combined 18,787 lbs, and discontinued or decreased 195 medications. often very dramatic in the first couple of weeks because of the reduction in carbohydrate intake. Our goal will be for you to lose 1-2 pounds per week. Most patients will lose 2 – 4 pounds per week in the first month on the program. Our goal is for you to lose weight safely and keep it off by learning appropriate nutrition and eating habits.

Real People, Real Results. before

after

What is my role in this process? You have the biggest job. Your success in our program will depend on the changes you make in what you eat and how much you exercise. We will be here to support you, educate you and prescribe medication as necessary to allow you to focus on the choices you make. The keys to success are: • Your determination that this will work and your dedication to the meal plan. • Your record keeping and your documentation of your caloric intake and exercise. • Your attendance at weekly visits and or classes.

Will my insurance cover the cost of the program? Unfortunately, most insurance companies have lagged far behind in covering obesity as a primary diagnosis. Therefore, we do not take insurance. You may be able to use your receipt of payment for your taxes or money from your health spending accounts.

I have thought about bariatric surgery. Will coming to Tidewater Bariatrics disqualify me from having surgery? No. Bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, lap band) is a very viable option for some patients, particularly those who have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 35 with diabetes or hypertension, or those with a BMI greater than 40. Most bariatric surgical programs require that patients try a formalized medical weight loss program. Tidewater Bariatrics will offer you that program. If you still desire surgery, the weight loss experience during the program will decrease your risk of operative complications.

“I have tried many times before but never had the kind of success losing weight and changing my habits that I have had since coming to Tidewater Bariatrics. I believe the support and education that I have gotten has really made a difference for me. I feel more confident than I ever have before, and believe I will continue to have success going forward.”

GETTING TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER:

Congestive Heart Failure WRITTEN BY DR. VASUDEV ANANTHRAM

n a normal, healthy heart, blood vessels called veins deliver impure (oxygen-deficient) blood to the right upper and lower chambers of the heart. This blood is then pumped into the lungs by the right lower chamber of the heart. Once in the lungs, the blood is enriched with oxygen and then poured into the heart’s left upper and lower chambers. From there it is pumped by the strong muscle of the left lower chamber to the rest of the body to keep it well nourished and energized. Valves guard each of the exit points of the heart’s chambers to prevent the blood from flowing backwards.

What is Congestive Heart Failure?

Dr. Vasudev Ananthram is a board-certified cardiologist and founder of Cardiovascular Health, a member of Riverside Medical Group.

Congestive heart failure, simply put, is an inability of the heart to pump enough blood. This, in most cases, is a result of malfunction in the heart’s mechanics. If the heart cannot pump adequate amounts of blood, the blood backs up from the left side of the heart into the lungs and then through the right side of the heart, leaking into the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract (gut) and the legs. The most common symptom of congestive heart failure is shortness of breath initially noted with low levels of exertion. Symptoms then progress to shortness of breath at rest and then result in an inability to lie down or even sleep. Sometimes the breathing difficulty may come on so suddenly and severely that an individual finds himself or herself gasping for air. Other symptoms may include cough (typically worsening at night or with exercise), chest discomfort, fatigue or lethargy, loss of appetite, leg swelling and a bloating sensation in the abdomen.

Why Does the Heart Fail?

While congestive heart failure is nearly always caused by mechanical failings of the heart, there are several reasons why the heart might fail: 1. Rhythm disturbances of the heart. If the heart rate is too fast, irregular or too slow, the heart pumps less efficiently.

2. Weakness in the heart muscle. Heart muscle weakness can be caused by a heart attack, multiple blockages in the blood vessels of the heart, certain viral infections, diabetes and/or uncontrolled high blood pressure, excessive alcohol use or illicit drug use.

3. Heart valve abnormalities. Leakage of heart valves, especially in the left side of the heart, results in a back flow of blood. The heart must then pump harder to maintain adequate forward blood flow. This ultimately enlarges and weakens the heart muscle, leading to progressive congestive heart failure. If the leakage occurs suddenly, the heart has no time to compensate, and the individual immediately enters a state of congestive heart failure and may begin gasping for air. Sometimes age or conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or structural abnormalities may cause the heart muscle to thicken or become too rigid. As a result, the valves do not open freely. As the valve openings narrow, the heart must work harder to push the blood through them. This process can also ultimately cause congestive heart failure. 20 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

4. Abnormal relaxation of the heart muscle. When the heart muscle is unable to relax adequately, blood does not flow freely into the heart’s left lower chamber. This can result in congestive heart failure. The two most common causes of abnormal relaxation are uncontrolled high blood pressure and advanced age. Much less frequently, congestive heart failure can occur in a normal, otherwise healthy heart—when the body develops an abnormally high demand for blood. This can be due to: • Severe anemia (low red blood cell count) • Severe and abnormally high activity of the thyroid gland, causing a very high metabolism • Extremely strenuous exercise to unaccus tomed levels • Very high fever and/or severe infections Any of the above causes of congestive heart failure can coexist. For instance, a valve leakage and a rhythm abnormality can develop in an already weak heart and result in congestive heart failure. Also, if a heart is weak but still functioning adequately, even a modest degree of increase in the demands of the body can cause congestive heart failure.

How is CHF Treated?

The goal of treatment is to improve quality and quantity of life for patients. Several medications are available which can prevent deterioration or even improve the heart’s ability to pump blood. Under appropriate circumstances, surgery can be recommended to improve blood flow to the heart and also to correct valve abnormalities. In some patients, certain types of pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators* (ICDs) can also be useful. Lifestyle modification is an integral part of treating congestive heart failure. Here are some take-away tips to live by if you are showing early signs of this disease or may be at risk: • Limit salt intake to less than two grams (2,000 mg) a day. • Start a regular exercise program under the guidance of a physician. • Avoid strenuous exercise that your body is not accustomed to. (In other words, don’t be a weekend warrior!) • Eat sensible, moderately portioned meals. • Strive to achieve your ideal body weight— this reduces the demands on the heart. (Visit www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/index.html to calculate your current body mass index versus where you need to be.) • Quit smoking.

*An implantable cardiac defibrillator recognizes and corrects abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). The device is surgically implanted within the chest wall. The ICD can prevent sudden cardiac arrest/death while a pacemaker is generally used to correct an unusually slow heartbeat.

Mayo Clinic Diet Book Promotes

Healthy Weight Loss WRITTEN BY PATRICIA REANEY

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!)

Confused by the myriad of diet books that promise to help you melt away those excess pounds and produce the body of a supermodel? Scientists at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., have produced a weightloss program based on clinical research and experience that they say will help people lose weight and keep it off permanently. Dr. Donald Hensrud, a diet expert at the clinic and a co-author of The Mayo Clinic Diet, spoke about why the program is so effective, the research it is based on and what sets it apart from most other diet books.

Q: Why has the Mayo Clinic decided to publish a diet book? A: For a number of reasons. The first and most obvious one is that weight and obesity has become more of a problem in this country and around the world over the past decades. So, there is a need. Secondly, many other people have been promoting so-called Mayo Clinic diets over the years but there has never been an official Mayo Clinic diet book before. Thirdly, we think the timing is good right now. There is a lot of scientific evidence for the things we have put in the book based on research and evidence that we have accumulated here. We think we have a program that is effective, healthy, enjoyable and sustainable long-term. Q: What is it about the Mayo diet that sets it apart from others? A: There are some unique features about the Mayo Clinic diet. It is more than a diet. It is a lifestyle change program. It is divided up into two phases. The ‘lose it’ phase lasts two weeks, and we think this is the healthiest way to lose weight quickly….That transitions into the ‘live it’ phase. Once people see what they are capable of doing, they change those habits into a long-term lifestyle change. Another unique feature is the Mayo Clinic healthy weight-eating pyramid based on energy density.

Q: Why do people have such a hard time losing weight? A: It starts with the approach and we try to address that. This is one of the biggest paradoxes I know—eat right, exercise more. It sounds so simple but yet it is such a complex statement. The mindset that goes along with this [equation] is negative and restrictive, and therefore it is going to be temporary and not enjoyable. So what we do is to try to help people have realistic goals and to change their attitudes so [dieting] doesn’t have to be deprivation. Q: How big a component is exercise in your program? A: It is a big component, as it should be. That seemingly simple equation gets down to calories in versus calories burned. And energy expenditure, exercise, is very important. Exercise is the most important way to burn calories.

Q: Is the program applicable for children and adults? A: In the ‘lose it’ phase, it is based on sudden changes and habits but there isn’t anything in there that is unhealthy or unsafe—eating breakfast, eating more vegetables and fruit. What we are trying to do is take all the knowledge and the clinical experience and put it all together in one package that people can use to come up with a program for them that is effective, safe, healthy, enjoyable and sustainable.

Q: Is the book effective for someone who wants to lose 20 pounds or 200 pounds? A: Yes. It is. The principles of it apply to everyone. Admittedly, and this is in the medical literature, the greater the starting weight, the more people can lose initially, but they have a longer way to go. So, the greater the starting weight the more challenging it is to lose it and keep it off.

Q: What advice would you give to people who want to lose weight but don’t know how to get started, who find it just so daunting? A: That is exactly what we are trying to do with the book. I’d say pick up the book and read the first few chapters. THE HEALTH JOURNAL

Josephine WRITTEN BY JOSEPHINE’S FATHER

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE LAMPITT FAMILY

This month, expectant parents Ed and Claire Lampitt of Williamsburg wrestle with a storm of conflicting emotions: While anticipating the birth of their second son, due in early March, the couple continues to mourn the loss of their daughter, Josephine Rose, who died Feb. 16, 2009, at just 10 months of age. Here, in a poignant narrative, Josephine’s father recounts the family’s emotional journey from Josephine’s initial diagnosis to how they are coping now as another chapter of their lives unfolds. 22 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

Until Josephine’s diagnosis, we naively believed that this was the type of tragedy that affected others, the proverbial “people down the street.” We could not have been more wrong.

ur story began in early December 2008. We were scheduled to bring our then eight-month-old daughter, Josephine Rose Lampitt, to Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters (CHKD) in Norfolk. She had been seen by other doctors before for what various specialists had repeatedly described as “severe reflux,” a relatively common and benign disorder that most children outgrow. We expected our visit to include a continuation of the reflux diagnosis but also a more detailed read-out on the cause for her newer symptoms, among them poor weight gain, unusual eye movements and persistent crankiness. The weight gain issue in particular was perplexing as we had tried for months to increase Josephine’s body weight with breast milk supplements, then formula, and eventually a high-calorie formula concentrate. Nevertheless, we’d been assured that there was no reason to worry. To our horror, we soon found ourselves confronting every parent’s worst nightmare: a diagnosis of an extremely rare and incurable disease that would take our infant daughter from us. The doctors explained that Josephine had a rare metabolic disease— specifically, a lysosomal storage disorder known as Gaucher (pronounced “go-shay”) disease. Of the three forms of the disease, only Type I has a sustainable treatment while Types II and III have a degenerative neurological component that is untreatable and incurable. Josephine had the rarest form, Type II, which affects approximately one in 100,000 live births. The average life span, we were told, was about nine months, though some children had lived as long as two to three years. Words fall short of capturing the emotions we felt then and have felt ever since, but shock, disbelief and horror are starting points. We had no known family history of that disease nor any disease for that matter. My wife and I had above-average health. We were both college-educated and from seemingly average American families. We were financially stable with a sound marriage and strong faith. We already had one healthy son. Until that time

we naively believed that this was the type of tragedy that affected others, the proverbial “people down the street.” We could not have been more wrong. We learned that Gaucher disease passes down via mutated recessive genes (present in approximately one in 400 people in the general population). Neither my wife nor I had ever displayed symptoms, nor had any of our relatives. For symptoms of Gaucher disease to manifest, both parents must have the recessive gene, and even then, the couple’s offspring have only a one in four chance of manifesting the disease (each child also has a 50-percent chance of carrying the disease with no symptoms and a 25-percent chance of having no trace of the disorder). We soon found ourselves looking back fondly on Josephine’s first six months when she behaved and appeared, for the most part, as a normal, healthy baby girl. She had been irritable at points, but that in itself had not alarmed us. Likewise, she had raspy breathing, but that had been attributed to the reflux. She made unusual facial expressions from time to time, but we (and her doctors) had reminded ourselves that every baby has his or her own ‘isms,’ quirks and silly expressions. She had made our family complete—a mom, a dad, a son and then sweet Josephine to balance the gender mix. We had all been thrilled when she was born, especially our son, who was eager to see his little sister grow up before his eyes. Now, my wife and I were faced with how to take care of a dying child, how to ensure Josephine had the best short little life possible with the best access to doctors, the most quality time with family possible and the most comfort science and faith could offer. We also had to consider our son’s emotional and mental health through her illness and, we feared, her impending death. My wife and I put our own needs—physical, mental, emotional—largely on hold, though we remained attuned to the fact that preserving our marriage during this time of chaos would be key to giving Josephine and our son the best support. Josephine’s doctors reminded us of the disease’s low incidence rate and admitted their lack of experience and comfort in treating children diagnosed with it. Dr. Virginia Proud, our pediatric genetic specialist at CHKD, admitted she had only seen one other case of Gaucher Type II in her ca-

We went to bed each night not knowing whether Josephine would still be with us in the morning. It was terrifying.

Continued from page 23 reer; our local pediatrician, Dr. Jennifer Altman, had seen none. We scoured the Web for every morsel of information we could find on Gaucher disease, Type II. We found very little. We learned of a single organization dedicated specifically to Gaucher Type II and III—the Children’s Gaucher Disease Research Fund—through which we gained some insight but also fear and increased sadness. The group’s Website (www.childrensgaucher.org) conveyed the stories of children who had already succumbed to the disease. Each child’s story drilled home to us the reality of Josephine’s future. By mid-December 2008, Josephine started receiving all of her meals through a nasal-gastric tube inserted through her nose. This was the only means of increasing her caloric intake since the disease had begun to impair her ability to swallow and/or swallow without liquid entering her lungs. The lasting image in my mind of a tube protruding from our child’s nose is indescribable. Moreover, the mechanical and logistical challenges of administering meals and medications through the tube only added to our physical fatigue. On Dec. 23, Josephine had her first round of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). The treatments, which she would need two to three times a month, helped to ease some of her non-neurological symptoms such as an enlarged spleen and liver. We undertook the lengthy, costly therapies to improve the quality of her life as no treatment can stop or even stall the neurological degeneration caused by Gaucher. In the end, the ERT treatments cost tens of thousands of dollars, but we never once hesitated to incur the cost for ourselves or our insurance provider. (Our provider, Anthem, did not balk at a single expense.) By January 2009 we decided to bring Josephine to

one of the world’s premier institutions for medical research—the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) outside of Washington, D.C. We were reminded in advance that NIH’s mission is to research treatments, but that the dividends of the research process would be our (and future generations’) better understanding of the disease. Clearly, our goals for Josephine had changed. We continued to hope for a miracle, but we conceded that modern science could not save our child. We sought information from researchers to help us enhance Josephine’s quality of life and, ultimately, quality of death. Though our NIH doctors proved to be a tremendous resource as they interpreted a battery of tests, they couldn’t predict how Josephine’s specific gene mutations would manifest themselves in the coming weeks or months. We decided we’d keep Josephine at home as much as possible, out of arm’s reach of doctors who openly admitted they could not help us. This decision, in effect, removed the uncertainty over an extremely longshot, unproven option of a bone marrow transplant in North Carolina. An oxygen pump and pulse-oxygen monitoring machine soon arrived at our home. The monitoring device measured the oxygen level in Josephine’s blood at night while she slept (and eventually during the day as her disease progressed). With increasing frequency, the device would emit a piercing alarm—indicating that her ever-weakening lungs couldn’t meet her body’s demands for oxygen. The alarms became so frequent that (with approval from doctors) we gradually adjusted the device’s sensitivity to allow us to sleep through some of her less-serious spells. Other nights were so rough that we took shifts sleeping on her floor huddled in a blanket. Being closer to Josephine allowed us to

respond more quickly with a direct, focused administration of life-saving oxygen and, equally important, a warm, reassuring hug for our sick, panicked child. In short, we went to bed each night not knowing whether Josephine would still be with us in the morning. It was terrifying. Through all our hospital visits, and especially the home visits of our warm-hearted and gifted pediatric nurse, Mr. Jaime Budy, we became increasingly wellversed in terms and concepts we had never before grappled with. We learned what a palliative care expert was, and we learned the names of medicines such as Ativan (for anxiety), Robinul (an expectorant) and morphine (for pain) and the proper method for administering these potent drugs around the clock. We came to understand the nuances of a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, a legal document designed to clarify to emergency responders whether to give life-saving resuscitation. On a more mundane level, we had to walk past the children’s spring clothing lines at stores, knowing Josephine would likely not need new outfits. We had to stop saying “It will be OK” in response to our daughter’s cries when we knew in our hearts that it would not. More disturbing, but necessary, we had to consider how, when and where Josephine might die. In the latter half of January, Josephine’s nasal-gastric tube was replaced with a tube that went directly to her stomach, giving her tender nose reprieve from the constant rubbing of the feeding tube and allowing her hands to swing more freely. Now that the feeding tube was hidden securely under her clothes, she could finally feel her face again without risk of pulling the tube out. Due to increasingly frequent and alarming sleep disturbances, we admitted Josephine to CHKD in early February 2009 so that doctors could conduct an overnight sleep study and hopefully determine the cause. The study revealed that the disease was causing severe sleep apnea (obstructive and central) and depriving her of “active sleep,” which is similar to REM in adults. [Ed.: Obstructive sleep apnea is the result of a collapsed or blocked airway while the central type is neurological, meaning the brain stops telling the body to breathe.] It was during that visit that CHKD Sleep Expert Dr. Michael Dubik noted the precious manner in which electrode-peppered Josephine caressed her mother’s face. His passing comment inspired me to snap a photo (above). That photo tells our story; it motivates me to this day. We had a serious scare on Feb. 15. Whereas previous apneic episodes had occurred at night, Josephine experienced one in the middle of the day during naptime. By chance—the monitor was not set up for daytime alerts—we discovered her mid-nap, a pronounced shade of blue. We quickly administered the oxygen pump and seconds later were relieved to have her back in our arms as a smiling child. Nonetheless, we were reminded that she was living on borrowed time. We called nearby relatives for moral support and were comforted by their visit. We sent our son home with his cousins for a sleepover out of fear that Josephine would not make it through the night. To our surprise, the night was uneventful. Josephine Continued on page 27

As we approach the one-year anniversary of Josephine’s death, we are confronted with an overlap of conflicting emotions.

Josephine licking an apple on the morning of Feb. 16. This is the last picture ever taken of her.

Continued from page 25 woke up the next morning looking and feeling great. We cut up an apple and let her taste it. This was consistent with doctors’ advice to allow Josephine to enjoy one of life’s most basic pleasures. As with lollipops a few days before, and decaffeinated coffee and tea before that, she lit up with excitement. Such tastes would probably excite any child, but they took on special meaning for Josephine. By this point, she was not tasting any food or liquids; her nutrients were delivered straight to her stomach via a gastrointestinal tube. After Shutterbug Dad snapped a few photos of Josephine licking the apple, we packed her up in the car and drove to pick up her brother at our relatives’ house. Since she was doing so well and we planned to return home shortly, we left her medicines and equipment at home. We had a good visit, and Josephine even had some pleasingly strong laughs and giggles as she tasted some tea from her mother’s mug. Monday, Feb. 16—President’s Day, I remember—was warm enough that the older children went outside to play. My wife laid Josephine down to change her diaper, and that’s when we noticed Josephine was getting short on breath. And then it happened. Despite weeks of nervous anticipation and inconsistent medical advice about how long she might live, Josephine was gone. We had known this moment would come, and had made various preparations, but nothing could prepare us for the shock. We were allowed privacy as we said goodbye to Josephine, holding her in our arms for an hour or so before we made the dreaded phone calls. She escaped this world in a natural state, free from tubes and machines and hospitals and doctors. She cutely circumvented every man-made device designed to hold on to her, undermined every plan we’d made for her last days and minutes. She reminded us of those things we cannot control. Josephine’s death marked an important crossroads in our struggle. Her weight shifted from our arms and into our hearts, where it has remained. But we view her death as a turning point, not an end. This is not to say we are not still grieving. Under any other circumstances we’d have an almost-two-year-old running around the house. We miss her giggles, her smiles and all her silly quirks. Thoughts of her fill our lives yet we feel her absence. In the months since Josephine’s death, bold acquaintances have asked if we feel her presence. Are there angels, and does she send us signs? Are there miracles? What else could explain the strong scent of flowers in the family van on the morning of her death and, in the months that followed, the mysterious workings of not one but two car radios, the inexplicable healing of my back pain after years of suffering, and too many rainbows over the house to count? It had always been our dream to have a larger family of three to four children. Doctors presented various means for us to have biological children with no risk of Gaucher disease, but those options were inconsistent with our beliefs. Likewise,

we knew we would not consider terminating a pregnancy if our child tested positive. After countless hours of weighing the considerations, we decided to let go and open our hearts to the possibility of conceiving again. Our conclusion rested somewhat on the realization that, had we known of the defects in our genes years ago, we might have scared ourselves out of having our healthy son and even Josephine—whose impact on the world and people who knew her will outlive even us. Some may wonder whether Josephine’s short life was somehow not worth the pain, that perhaps she, too, would have preferred to not have experienced it all. We remind everyone that she experienced laughter and love from the first day until her very last. How many of us can really expect to be that fortunate? Last July we learned that we would be parents once again—our son is due in early March. Many weeks were filled with uncertainty—but surprisingly, not fear—as we awaited the results of amniocentesis tests that would reveal whether our child in utero would display Gaucher disease. Last October we learned the results: negative. Like our older son, this child will not manifest symptoms. As we approach the one-year anniversary of Josephine’s death (or, her “Angel Day” as we like to call it), we are confronted with an overlap of conflicting emotions. We are joyful and thankful for the expected arrival of our next son, but his arrival cannot “replace” Josephine, nor will we “move on” or “let go.” She’s still a part of our family. We talk about her, and to her, on a regular basis. We visit her grave as well as her still-intact bedroom to feel close to her. Photos of her are prominently displayed in our home. And when videos of Josephine play on a digital picture frame, our son runs towards it just to catch a glimpse of her giggling again. At the same time, my wife must make snap decisions as to how much to tell strangers when they innocently ask about our baby-to-be, “Is this your second child?”, or comment, “Wouldn’t it be sweet to have a little girl?” While these remarks pierce our hearts, our hard-earned Ph.D. in life and death has made us largely unfazed by what others may consider important issues or major life stresses. We’ve lived through the worst hand life can deal, and we feel we can tackle anything new that comes our way. A year ago we felt utterly helpless; we feel invincible now. And that feeling of weathered strength allows us to leverage our suffering for a greater cause (see below, “How You Can Help”). To quote Greg Macres, founder of the Children’s Gaucher Disease Research Fund and father to the late Gregory Macres, lost 13 years ago to the disease: “We can accept our pain and do nothing, or we can channel it to make the world a better place.”

G. Theodore Hughes, M.D., is the director of obstetrics for Bon Secours Hampton Roads and an OB/GYN practicing with the WomanCare Center at DePaul Medical Center in Norfolk.

28 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

How is a midwife different from an obstetrician in the type of care each provides?

Certified nurse-midwives are a very important part of my medical practice. They are nurses with advanced degrees who specialize in normal, natural childbirth and gynecological care of healthy women throughout their life cycle. Midwives and doctors share common goals: to provide excellent care for mother and baby, to create a positive birth experience for the parents and, of course, to deliver a healthy baby. Obstetricians and nurse-midwives work together to provide a rich experience for birthing women and their families. Both the midwife and physician use their professional knowledge to provide for the physical and emotional needs of each patient, but the midwife is often more in tune with the personal and spiritual changes that birth brings. Women know themselves well and are most likely to choose the kind of birth attendant and birth experience that meet their needs. Both physicians and midwives provide the full array of pain management options to women. Midwives, however, are skilled at assisting women who seek a more natural birthing experience. Women who choose a physician/midwife team benefit from the skills and perspectives of both professions. Obstetrician/gynecologists provide care that is focused on the female reproductive system. We are surgeons and primary care providers to women throughout their lives, in times of health and illness. Certified nursemidwives also care for women throughout their lives providing primary care and family planning services

with a specialty in the transformative process of the childbearing years. While obstetricians and midwives have a common goal of ensuring a safe birth and a healthy mother and baby, complications that require an obstetricianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intervention can arise during pregnancy, labor or birth. Obstetricians are educated to solve complex medical problems. We provide emergency and surgical care when medical intervention is needed to protect the health of the mother and the baby. (About 20 percent of women will have a complicated pregnancy or birth requiring specialized care.) In my practice, midwives spend more time with their patients during routine appointments. This provides time for discussion of personal goals and educational needs in order to prepare the family for the kind of birth experience they want. During labor, the midwife closely oversees the laboring mother to promote an optimal labor and birth. If a woman appears to be at risk for complications, the doctor must intervene; but the midwife remains part of the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care team to provide emotional support and continuity of care. As a physician, I love that my patients can choose between a midwife and an obstetrician. The midwives in my practice care for mothers who are likely to have a normal, healthy birth. This allows our doctors to care for high-risk patients and those with which we have a longstanding doctor-patient relationship. I must admit that I enjoy delivering second, third and fourth babies. No doubt our midwives do too. Blair Conger, CNMW, contributed to this article.

IPL: Bringing a Youthful Look Back to Your Hands WRITTEN BY DR. KEITH W. SCHUMANN

Keith W. Schumann, M.D., is a board-certified dermatologist with advanced training in lasers. The founder of Ageless Dermatology & Laser Center, he has practiced in Williamsburg for the last 10 years. He can be reached at info@agelessderm.com.

What am I looking at?

These two hands (at left) show the regenerative power of laser skin care treatments. The brown sun spots that many of us have on our hands can be removed with two 10-minute non-invasive IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments. On this patient, the treated hand is clear while the untreated hand remains spotted.

Why rejuvenate the hands? Your hands are often one of the first things people notice upon meeting you. Repairing sun damage to the hands with a series of IPL laser treatments can contribute to a more youthful look.

30 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

How does IPL work?

IPL systems are based on the same principles as lasers in that light energy is selectively absorbed by targeted cells. The light energy is converted to heat, which causes thermal damage to these cells, resulting in smooth, even skin color and tone.

How much downtime?

One advantage of IPL is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a non-ablative technique, which means that it targets the lower layers of skin without affecting the top layers of skin. The result is minimal downtimeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you can usually return to work or social activities immediately afterwards.

Who performs IPL treatments?

It is recommended that patients see a boardcertified dermatologist with advanced training in lasers.

pain solutions

I injured my shoulder months ago ulder several sev and it is still painful. nful. What Wh could be wrong?

A: Each year an estimated four million people seek medical attention for shoulder injuries. As a shoulder surgeon, I frequently see patients with one of three main shoulder complaints: their shoulder is unstable after an injury or dislocation, their shoulder is stiff and they have limited movement, or they feel pain and weakness when trying to reach overhead—pain that often gets worse at night. Here’s a look at the three most common sources of shoulder pain: Shoulder instability is more prevalent in younger patients and often occurs after a fall when the ball (humeral head) of the shoulder joint is knocked out of the socket (glenoid). The cartilage (labrum) that supports the glenoid may tear, or the ligaments that connect the humeral head to the glenoid may stretch. This injury can lead to a continuing sensation that the shoulder is slipping out of its socket.

Shoulder stiffness, or “frozen shoulder,” is a condition where the shoulder spontaneously stiffens and becomes painful even though the patient has not experienced an injury. For reasons not well understood, the lining of the shoulder joint thickens and contracts, thus limiting movement. The condition is more common in middle-aged women and is particularly worse in diabetics. People often tolerate a stiff, painful shoulder for months until they can’t reach behind their back or out to the side. Arthritis of the shoulder causes similar symptoms but can be ruled out with X-ray imaging.

Rotator cuff pain is the most common cause of shoulder pain. The rotator cuff is comprised of four muscles and their tendons that attach to the humeral head. Rotator cuff pain is usually caused by inflammation of the tendons, a condition called tendonitis or bursitis. The bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that rests on top of the rotator cuff tendons and helps lubricate the tendons as they glide under the acromion, a bony ledge found on top of the shoulder. If a bone spur develops here, it pinches or rubs (impinges) on the tendons and bursa, causing bursitis. Repetitive overhead motion produces a similar type of pain. The outer portion of the upper arm hurts each time the arm is raised overhead (some people feel pain when lying on their side, which makes sleeping uncomfortable). The rotator cuff tendons can also tear as a result of repetitive rubbing, similar to how rubbing an old rope between your hands will cause it to tear, as a result of a traumatic injury such as a fall. The pain of a rotator cuff tear is similar to that caused by bursitis, but the night pain is worse and weakness in the shoulder and arm may develop.

Q: What are my treatment options for chronic shoulder pain? A: Exercises designed to strengthen the rotator cuff are often the best means of treating shoulder instability caused by stretched ligaments. A torn labrum, however—especially in younger patients—often requires a surgical repair to prevent further dislocation. If detected early, a frozen shoulder can be managed with non-surgical interventions such as anti-inflammatory medications (e.g., ibuprofen), physical therapy to stretch the shoulder and cortisone injections into the joint. Sometimes a patient will benefit from physical manipulation—stretching the shoulder while a patient is under anesthesia—to help regain mobility in the shoulder. If other measures fail, a surgeon can cut through the tight areas of the joint’s lining to improve movement. Bursitis pain usually resolves with rest, ice and occasional medication. Physical therapy or a cortisone injection may be needed if the pain persists. Arthroscopic surgery to remove the bone spur and inflamed bursa is recommended as a last resort treatment. Complete rotator cuff tears do not heal without surgery, though some patients choose to live with the condition. Q: Is shoulder surgery painful? How long is the recovery time?

A: Advancements in the understanding of shoulder injuries as well as newer treatment options are dramatically improving surgical outcomes with better results and reduced pain. For most patients, today’s surgeons can restore shoulder function to near normal. In the past, shoulder repairs were done through large, open incisions and required an overnight hospital stay. Modern arthroscopic techniques now allow surgeons to repair tears directly, without compromising other structures in the shoulder. Arthroscopic surgery works like this: A small camera is inserted into the shoulder joint to inspect the problem, and the tear is repaired through two or three additional quarterinch incisions. Anchors that are eventually absorbed by the body are inserted into the bone where the rotator cuff tendon or cartilage has torn, and sutures are passed through the torn tissue and tied to secure the repair. The surgery is performed in an outpatient setting and can be done without general anesthesia. There is still a lengthy three-to four-month recovery process involved, but sparing healthy tissues starts the patient on the right path toward full rehabilitation.

profile Why he chose cardiology: Cardiology became an interest during my medical training. I was looking for something that had continuity. I wanted a relationship with my patients. It is a very research-driven field. It’s very mechanical—fairly complicated, but simple in my mind. You can really wrap your mind around it. On his training in Iraq and Afghanistan: I spent one month in Afghanistan and three months in Iraq. I found it fantastically rewarding. My job in Iraq was critical care. I was flying with an intensive care unit and transporting critically injured soldiers. Within 20 minutes they were in a chopper, in an hour they were in surgery in an operating room to get stabilized, then they could be flying to Germany by the end of the night. Who he helps now: College students. Middleaged people. Seniors. There is a wide range in age, but I see many more 80- and 90-year-olds than any other type of patient.

Joseph T. Adinaro IV, M.D.

INTERVIEW BY SHARON MILLER CINDRICH PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIAN M. FREER

oseph Adinaro showed an interest in medicine at an extremely early age. In fourth grade, when a fellow classmate fell and hurt his head, Adinaro pushed through the crowd of children gathered around to assess the scene. “I said, ‘Let me have a look at him.’ My teacher turned to me and said, ‘Where’s your doctor’s license?’” The rest is now history. After receiving his undergraduate degree from George Mason University, Adinaro earned his medical degree from Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2000. During his residency, he spent several months as an Air Force doctor, serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. “We had 600 pounds of equipment that could turn any airplane into an emergency room,” he says. While he admits it was sometimes lonely as the only doctor at 30,000 feet, these days Adinaro has his feet planted firmly on the ground. He practices with Cardiovascular Health in Williamsburg and is an active medical staff member at Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News and Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center. As a busy father of five young children, his plate is quite full—literally. Finding time for some of his favorite sports—golf and volleyball—can be difficult amid long work hours and taking care of family, so Adinaro has turned to another favorite activity. “I also enjoy cooking,” he says. “When I was young, my grandmother would host dinner for the extended family on Sunday afternoons. I have resumed the tradition and enjoy hosting dinners for family and friends.” Recently, The Health Journal asked Adinaro to offer his top tips for heart health and more. Here are excerpts from our interview:

The biggest myth about heart health: I think there’s a general misunderstanding about how heart disease really works. We used to believe that blockages would progress over time and eventually close the artery, but we have discovered that mild blockages can break open and the artery can suddenly close with a clot. Inflammation and the endothelium [a thin lining of blood vessels in the arteries] are big players. Treating risk factors—like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking—is what makes a difference.

What people can do to keep their heart healthy: Exercise, aerobic exercise specifically, actually keeps your heart in better shape, as does modifying your risk factors. Smoking is the single worst thing you can do for your heart. The nicotine paralyzes the lining of the blood vessels. When that happens, you’re at higher risk for heart disease.

Biggest professional challenge: Trying to get through to patients who have their mind set against making a positive change, like quitting smoking. Or they don’t want to take medications. Also, keeping people from being their own doctor. The patient that frustrates me the most says, “This is what I believe, and that’s the way it is.” Who he admires: The folks who trained me—I’ve trained with some amazing physicians. Their work ethic, tenacity and brilliance are inspiring. I do my best to come close to that. Everyone has their own thing—some docs have great bedside skills, other folks have the science down pat. You take pieces from everyone and try to be the best you can. What surprises him most in his practice: Everybody’s different. I see everyone from the teen with palpitations and it’s nothing, to the 40-year-old who has horrible cancer and will die soon, to the 80-year-old who’s out on the golf course. The most beautiful thing about the human heart: The heart is fascinating and elegant in its design and function with its own mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems. Many animals have the same design—including pigs and cows—which is useful when you need to exchange a part. Honestly, the most beautiful thing about the human heart, which is unique to the species, is its metaphorical exploration by artists, poets, songwriters and philosophers. The fleshy pump keeping us all going is quite humble compared to the lofty poetic heart. THE HEALTH JOURNAL
