Bioidenticals:

Are They Safe?

As a treatment for symptoms of menopause, bioidentical hormones have been gaining popularity thanks, in part, to endorsements from celebrities like Suzanne Somers and Oprah Winfrey. But some experts worry about the lack of standardization and research surrounding these plant-based compounds. Get the whole story, starting on page 22.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR the

Health Journal photo by Brian M. Freer

Southside Edition

Publisher

Dear Readers,

Brian M. Freer Executive Director

In my last column I shared the story of how I struck a truce with my brother after three years’ distance. Since then we’ve stayed in touch, and he plans to pay us a visit and meet our baby early this month. The reunion sparked in me a desire to reach out to a few old friends as well, and those overtures seem promising so far. I owe a lot of this to Cami; she’s only three months old, but already she has taught me an important lesson: as humans, we are born to love and trust, but also to forgive. Once, when I was clipping her fingernails, I accidentally nicked her skin and she bled a little bit. She cried at the pain, but she eventually forgave me and trusted me to try again. She holds no grudges, and she is the happiest person I know. As for our newfound trio (party of five, if you count our pets, Darwin and Gable), things are going great. Cami is growing like a weed and discovering new wonders every day. Just last week she rolled herself over. (Now she has to decide what to do once she gets onto her stomach.) And, as our friends and family promised would happen, we’re almost to the point of getting a full night’s rest. And maybe someday soon I will make it out the door in the morning, baby in tow, in time to be at work by 9 a.m. Juggling a new baby, a career, a marriage and a household isn’t easy, and neither are the decisions I find myself wrestling with daily. Do I pay someone to help me keep the house clean, so I can enjoy my weekend without an endless to-do list, or would we be better off putting that money into a nest egg or college fund? When I am working from home, is it OK to split my attention between work and our daughter? Should I remind Brian again that his athletic socks are not floor decorations, or should I keep quiet to keep the peace? Women, it seems—as the glue that holds most families together—are constantly faced with hard decisions, and that especially goes for choices relating to our health. For years menopausal women took synthetic hormones, confident they would help quell the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause and perhaps stave off a number of health problems attributed to fluctuating hormones. But all that changed in 2002, when results from a largescale study tied hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to a greater risk for breast cancer, heart attack and stroke. Just last month a report linking HRT and ovarian cancer was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. According to the article, in one study of nearly one million Danish women, those using synthetic hormones were 40 percent more likely to develop ovarian tumors than those who had not, regardless of the duration of time they had used such therapies. A lot of women must decide: Are the benefits of HRT worth the risks? Since 2002, millions have stopped hormone therapy altogether; but during that time another option has gained popularity: bioidentical hormones, plant-based substitutes designed to mimic the body’s natural hormones estrogen and progesterone. Patients and physicians are reporting remarkable results with bioidenticals, as they are called, but no large-scale safety studies have been done, so the therapies remain somewhat controversial. In “Bioidenticals: Are They Safe?”, starting on page 22, writer Alison Johnson queries local women and their doctors who say bioidenticals have worked for them. We hope their advice empowers female readers with information to make smart decisions about their health. As one Chesapeake woman states in the article, “All women should know their options.”

Throughout Hampton Roads, hospitals and physicians’ offices are trading in paper medical records for high-tech sharing. Written By Brenda H. Welch

ouise Kaiser was never one to associate the phrase “health care” with the word “prompt.” For her, the term conjured up memories of seemingly endless waiting, whether in the emergency room, her doctor’s office or on the phone trying to get a prescription filled or a simple question answered. Now 83 years old, the Virginia Beach resident has changed her tune by reaching for her computer mouse and logging on to MyHealth MyChart, Sentara’s Web site for patients that provides Kaiser and thousands more with access to their personal electronic medical record (EMR). MyChart is part of Sentara’s eCare Health Network, a clinical system that uses technology to link patient medical information between Sentara hospitals, physician practices and other health care sites over a protected network, enabling the secure sharing of patient information. “I can’t believe how fast and easy

THE HEALTH JOURNAL

Continued from previous page Sentara, along with other health care systems located throughout Hampton Roads—including Riverside Health System and Bon Secours—is steadily phasing out the traditional method of health care communication, which was dominated by thick paper medical charts of which patients were typically only given a cursory peek over their doctor’s shoulder. The next chapter promises better health information access to all.

National initiatives In Washington, President Barack Obama and his administration have recognized the importance of EMRs by allocating $19 billion in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (i.e., the U.S. Stimulus Pack-

EMRs show promising results In March, Sentara Norfolk General Hospital became the fourth hospital in the Sentara system to toot the paperless horn and go live with eCare since its implementation began in the Sentara network in 2004. Other hospitals—Sentara Leigh in Norfolk, Sentara Bayside in Virginia Beach and Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital—have reported increased patient safety, enhanced physician-patient relationships and better physician-to-physician communication, according to Bert Reese, Sentara’s senior vice president and chief information officer. “Sentara’s system works because there is one electronic record—only one—between the patients at home, the primary care physician, the specialist, the EDs, the ICUs and all the other departments,” says Reese. “This guarantees that all lab results, prescriptions, referrals, diagnoses, notes and office visits are documented and everyone knows what everyone else has done, and it is all stored in one database.” Recent statistics reported by Sentara show strong results since implementing eCare. • Physician order entry for prescriptions is 85 percent or better in Sentara hospitals using eCare. • Prior to implementing eCare, hospitals across the system averaged a time of about 132 minutes between a drug being ordered and a drug being given to the patient. After introducing Sentara eCare, that average shrank to 35 minutes. Now Sentara has become engaged in the challenge facing medical communities both locally and nationally: How do health systems and hospitals interface with each other to create a broader safety net?

age) to hasten the use of computerized medical records in doctors’ offices and hospitals. The incentives primarily benefit hospitals and office-based physicians. Each office-based physician who meaningfully uses a certified EMR could receive up to $44,000 (Medicare) or $64,000 (Medicaid) in government funding. (The Department of Health and Human Services will be defining the clear definition of “meaningful use” in the year ahead.) Office-based physicians practicing in rural or underserved areas are eligible for up to $48,400 in Medicare incentives. These figures represent the maximum allowable incentives under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and physicians may qualify for either source of funding but cannot qualify for both. Physicians who have not implemented an EMR by 2015 will be penalized with up to three-percent decreases in Medicare/ Medicaid reimbursements. While the stimulus money provides the incentives for health care providers to adopt an EMR system, the issue of sharing patient information across various software programs is one of concern. Currently, the flow of communication between health systems depends

“If you take the necessary precautions and build systems appropriately, and most of all, honor a patient’s privacy and confidentiality rights, you are going to be good.” — John Stanley, Riverside Health System

www.thehealthjournals.com

LOCAL BEAT The sharing of medical records begs the question—are EMRs safe when it comes to securing patient information?

How about you?

EMRs less risky than paper records Since 1998, Hospitals and Health Networks, the journal of the American Hospital Association, has named the nation’s 100 Most Wired hospitals and health systems; results are based on the Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study in which hospitals report on how they use information technology in the areas of safety and quality, customer service and business processes. In 2007, Riverside was the only hospital in Virginia to be recognized with the Most Wired award. John Stanley is Riverside’s senior vice president and chief information officer and has been involved with integrating the EMR system throughout the health system to include physician offices since they began the process in 1996. Stanley says that while there are risks in the electronic world when it comes to patient confidentiality and security of information, they do not come close to those associated with paper records. “Electronic information is more secure versus all the pieces of paper that get floated around and left in fax and copy machines,” says Stanley. “If you take the necessary precautions and build systems appropriately, and most of all, honor a patient’s privacy and confidentiality rights, you are going to be good.” Ultimately, it is the sharing of medical records that makes EMRs so appealing to patients. Yvonne Pike is a breast cancer patient navigator with Riverside, and her job is to provide resources to cancer patients that help them through diagnosis, treatment and beyond. She says that because her patients see many doctors at various locations, they often express concern about how to keep it all straight. “They want to know how their primary care physician, oncologist, surgeon, radiologist and other specialists keep track of test results and medications that have been prescribed and why,” says Pike. “Often through the old system, precious time and resources were wasted because of that lack of continuity of care,” she notes. “Now, because of the EMR system, all of their information is tied together under one record and one resource, and that is incredibly reassuring to them.” HJ

on their choice of EMR software. Sentara and Bon Secours have both contracted with Epic, a software company based in Verona, Wis., which means the health systems will be able to communicate with one another in sharing patient information. Riverside, however, uses a General Electric product called Centricity for its ambulatory EMR and Siemens’ Sorian for its inpatient EMR. Lack of interface between different EMR systems presents a glitch in the push for high-tech communication. “For Bon Secours, Epic made the most sense and fits our needs,” says Eric Dalton, project director for Bon Secours’ EMR, ConnectCare. “We liked that it is not an off-the-shelf product. We spent almost two years prior to going live working with physicians from our local market, both [in] Hampton Roads and Richmond, where they were brought in the room and participated actively in determining how the electronic medical record would look and what we could do to achieve the highest level of patient care throughout our system.” The result of these efforts is ConnectCare, which first went live in March 2009 at Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital in Greenville, S.C., and the system is projected to be live in Hampton Roads’ physician practices by September and all hospitals by 2010. Dalton says that the cross-sharing of records electronically with all health care providers is a critical piece of the puzzle. “You can see that the government understands the benefit of that now with the money that is being earmarked for electronic medical records throughout the U.S., not only with all of the hospitals but also with all physicians,” says Dalton. “There is a benefit of knowledge transfer for patient care, and access to timely records is really how we are going to reduce duplication and errors within the health care system.” As it stands, if people receive care primarily through Bon Secours but find themselves at a Riverside emergency room, they may grant access to their ConnectCare account by sharing their login information with their Riverside doctor. While only those working within Bon Secours’ EMR system may add directly to a patient’s chart, sharing access in this way ensures accurate and up-to-date information for the Riverside doctor as well.

ave you ever gone to a hospital emergency department for care only to find out when you received your bill that a portion, or all, of the charges weren’t covered? These surprise expenses can throw any budget out of whack. How can you avoid these unexpected costs? By knowing your health plan benefits and using participating providers for care. If you’re like most people, health care costs are a major concern. You may be looking for ways to keep those costs to a minimum. Review your plan now so that you know what to expect when you need medical care. You’ll want to know your co-pay and deductible amounts as well as your participating providers. You will always incur increased costs when you seek care from non-participating providers, as your insurer may not have a negotiated contract with those providers.

When you experience an illness, how do you seek care? Your first line of care should always be your primary care physician, someone familiar with your unique health issues. Many physician offices have after-hours services through which you can connect to an on-call physician or nurse after the office has closed for the day. And, most health plans today offer an advice or information line that you can contact for medical advice based on your symptoms. These advice lines are typically managed by registered nurses and offer suggestions on what to do and where to go for additional care. If you can’t reach your physician and your illness persists, consider visiting an urgent care facility. Always, if your health problem is severe, seek immediate care at a participating hospital emergency department. However, in a dire emergency (such as a car accident), an ambulance would transport you directly to the nearest hospital regardless of whether it is a participating provider in your health plan. In this case, your health plan would pay for the services because of the urgency of the situation. To keep your out-of-pocket costs low, try to seek care from participating providers. If you have employer-sponsored health insurance, your employer could be subject to higher insurance premiums when you use nonparticipating emergency departments and urgent care centers. And when employers’ insurance premiums rise, they often pass those increases on to their employees.

Lee and colleagues from the VA Medical Center and University of California, San Francisco, examined 6,360 retirees older than age 65 who enrolled in the Health and Retirement Study in 2002. As part of the study, the men and women, whose average age was 78 years, were asked: “Have you spent any time in the past 12 months doing volunteer work for a religious, educational, health-related, or other charitable organization?” Lee and colleagues found that volunteering was strongly associated with lower death rates, with 12 percent of 1,766 volunteers dying by 2006 compared to 26 percent of 4,594 non-volunteers. Even after adjusting for numerous factors that could influence the results, such as the seniors’ socioeconomic status, chronic illnesses, and functional limitations, volunteering remained strongly correlated with lower death rates.

Celiac Disease May Strike Elderly, Too Gluten intolerance among older adults may go undiagnosed for decades. NEW YORK (Reuters Health)

eliac disease doesn’t only affect the young, new research from Finland confirms, but can strike a person for the first time in later life. In people with celiac disease, eating gluten—a protein found in many types of grain—causes the immune system to launch an attack on the small intestine. This can eventually damage the organ and lead to poor absorption of nutrients, especially fat. But people with celiac disease who cut gluten out of their diet can avoid symptoms and complications. It’s now possible to use blood tests to determine whether or not a person has celiac disease, which affects over one percent of Western populations, Dr. Anitta Vilppula of Päijät-Häme Central Hospital in Lahti and her colleagues note. In the United States, celiac disease is four times more common now than it was in the 1950s. While people may think of the condition as a problem for children

Past research has shown that undetected celiac disease can lead to significant health problems in older people.

and young adults, they add, Vilppula and her team recently identified cases of celiac disease in elderly people. In some individuals, the condition had not been detected. In the current study, the researchers investigated whether some older people had actually developed celiac disease later in their lives, or the disease had simply gone undetected. They looked at 2,815 people over 55 who had undergone blood tests for celiac disease in 2002, 2,216 of whom were screened again in 2005. The researchers also did biopsies of patients’ small intestines to confirm the blood test findings. In 2002, 2.13 percent of the study participants had biopsyconfirmed celiac disease, while 2.34 percent did in 2005. There were five new cases among people whose blood tests had initially been negative for the disease, and only two of these individuals had symptoms. That led the researchers to conclude that the elderly could develop the disease late in life. Past research has shown that undetected celiac disease can lead to significant health problems in older people, the researchers note; in one study including 35 people 60 and older, 15 had been seeing their doctor for 28 years, on average, with symptoms without being diagnosed. Doctors should be aware of the possibility that their older patients may have or develop celiac disease, Vilppula and colleagues say, and they should use blood tests to confirm the diagnosis—even though a negative test doesn’t mean a person won’t develop the condition later on.

New Campus Designed ‘With Allied Health in Mind’ TNCC’s new Historic Triangle campus opened to the public on July 6. Written By Alex Guillén Photography By Kelly Quave Inman

Harold Marioneaux, director of TNCC’s new dental hygiene program (slated to open in 2010), says the program will reflect the hightech future of dentistry.

THE HEALTH JOURNAL

t may be two years late and several buildings short, but Thomas Nelson Community College will finally open a permanent campus in the Williamsburg area this fall. The new $28.7-million Historic Triangle campus, located next to Warhill High School and across the street from the Williamsburg Outlet Mall, is a 120,000-square-foot building—in stark contrast with TNCC’s former Williamsburg campus, a temporary area in the Busch Corporate Center that had been overcrowded with students for 10 years. The old campus was so small that its entirety would have fit within the new campus’s library. “This is a very exciting opportunity for us,” TNCC Interim President Alvin Shexnider says. “We’ve been looking forward to this thing for a very long time, and I think you’ll be very impressed with the facility and even more impressed with the people who are going to occupy it.” William Travis, the school’s former dean of business and public services, will oversee dayto-day operations at the new campus as provost. “This is not something new,” Travis says. “This is an expansion.” The Historic Triangle campus will offer several allied health degrees including dental hygiene, nursing and emergency medical services information technology. Students can also get career studies certification in emergency medical services, pre-nursing and phlebotomy. “When this campus was envisioned, we had allied health in mind,” Shexnider explains. Despite the campus’s scheduled opening this fall, the dental hygiene program is running behind and will not begin until the fall of 2010. But never fear—the program’s director, Harold Marioneaux, promises its premiere will be impressive. “I want you to envision that you are on the Starship Enterprise,” Marioneaux says of the dental hygiene

suite, which will feature 11 dental chairs and the latest technology, including electronic recordkeeping. “It’s state-of-the-art equipment,” he insists. “You’re going to see where dentistry is headed for the future.” In fact, TNCC’s technology will be so advanced that area dentists are already requesting to use the equipment. “One of the issues that we’re going to have to deal with is [that] we’re going to teach students the latest in technology, but we also have to show them the old methods of doing things because we’ve got to address what the community needs are,” Marioneaux says. The school’s nursing program will begin in January in a new, larger space that allows for 30 students, an increase from the current class size of 10. Outside of health care, the new campus will offer programs in business administration, paralegal studies, information technology, computer drafting and design, mathematics and writing. Travis notes that as the campus expands, TNCC will expand its program offerings. “This is not a done list,” he says. “An institution is responsive. We respond to what the community wants, and if there are other things the community wants to do, we are going to do that,” he says. “We [plan to] offer the programs the students and the community want, rather than coming to the community and saying, ‘This is what you’re going to get.’” The new campus also includes three science labs, a bookstore, a library, 17 study lounges, a weight-training room and several computer classrooms. Construction of the new campus was delayed multiple times over the last few years due to mounting construction costs and funding problems. In time, the college hopes to expand into new adjacent buildings. “This is not the culmination or end of anything,” Travis says. “This is the College’s first step of moving into the greater Williamsburg area.” HJ

TNCC’s main campus is located in Hampton. Between the two campuses, the college teaches some 15,000 students.

cream version of an intravenous drug used to treat colon cancers and other tumors can be used to fight the skin damage caused by years of sun exposure, according to a new report. The medication—fluorouracil—may also reduce the number of potentially precancerous skin patches known as actinic keratoses, Dr. Dana L. Sachs, from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and colleagues report in the Archives of Dermatology for June. In the study, 21 healthy people, aged 56 to 85, with actinic keratoses and sun damage were treated with a fivepercent fluorouracil cream for two weeks. Subjects saw the number of actinic keratoses drop by about 90 percent, and saw an improvement in symptoms such as wrinkles and sallow skin. Most patients said they were willing to undergo treatment again, even though the medication leads to temporary inflammation and discoloration of the skin. Other medications similar to fluorouracil are also likely to restore sun-damaged skin, the authors note. HJ

In women over 35, hormonal fluctuations become more dramatic and unpredictable [as] they enter peri-menopause.” Other contributing factors include side effects from certain medications, pore-clogging cosmetics and mental stress—all of which can trigger more oil production, adds Robinson. “Acne is mostly associated with adolescence,” Robinson continues. “Rarely is it looked at as an adult problem.” Over the years, Robinson has seen many adult clients with acne. As a master aesthetician, she works with patients to teach them about skin conditions and how to take care of their skin. “I think education is very important,” Robinson says. “I think most people don’t know a lot about their skin and often choose the wrong products.” That was true in Janet Minor’s case. As a teenager and an adult, Minor tried everything to combat her acne. She went to the dermatologist, tried different oral antibiotics and prescription creams as well as over-thecounter products. “I tried anything and everything to get rid of [my acne], but I always ended up with no long-term management of it,” she shares. s a teenager, I struggled with acne.

Tips for Avoiding the ‘Freshman 15’ Written By Brandy Centolanza

College students and health experts share their advice for preventing unwanted weight gain.

ollege freshmen gain plenty during their first year away from home: new friends, different experiences, a sense of independence, and for some, a few extra pounds to boot. Though the dreaded “Freshman 15” may be a bit of an exaggeration when it comes to the average amount of pounds firstyear students gain, a recent study at Washington University in St. Louis found that 70 percent of students gained an average of nine pounds between the start of college and the end of their sophomore year. Another study at Cornell University revealed that students added on roughly four pounds, while other studies show evidence of an average weight increase of seven pounds for students during their first semester. And all students are susceptible. “Everyone seems to be at risk,” notes Jessica McDaniel, a nutrition intern with Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center. “However, those who are determined to make healthy choices and know what is in the food they are eating are most 16

likely to gain less, or no, weight.” There are many reasons for freshman weight gain, including buffetstyle dining halls, readily accessible vending machines, skipping meals or eating at odd hours, and drinking too much alcohol. “Overeating, especially in combination with drinking, like when students come home after a party at 3 a.m. and order a pizza, is a big factor,” says Jenny Fisher, assistant director of Recreational Sports for Fitness and Wellness at the College of William & Mary. Adjusting to a new routine can also play a role, Fisher adds. “Balancing academics with extracurricular activities and finding time to take care of yourself can be difficult,” says Fisher, who admits to gaining a few pounds while she was in college. “It is overwhelming your freshman year. It’s also very common for stress to lead to other behaviors like overeating, drinking or smoking.” Kate Wrightson, a W&M senior and a fitness instructor and personal trainer, agrees. “You see it all over campus,” she says. “During my freshman year, my friends were always partying. Students usually woke up right before class, so they definitely didn’t eat breakfast. Being starved usually makes you just eat more during your next meal.” Ali Cano, a junior at W&M and also a fitness instructor, recalls the temptations she faced during her first year: “When you live in the dorms, every week it is someone’s birthday, so there is cake all the time,” she says. “It’s hard not to snack whenever you see everyone else snacking.” Freshmen can make better diet choices, though—if they are proactive about it. Little things like adding low-fat or skim milk to coffee instead of half-and-half, using a low-calorie dressing on salad and eating in moderation can make a difference. “Keep healthy snacks in your room to decrease the urge to purchase unhealthy vending machine snacks,” suggests McDaniel. Low-fat popcorn, pretzels, dried fruit, nuts, granola bars, trail mix, crackers, and peanut butter are good choices. Daily exercise is also essential to prevent unwanted pounds. Riding a bike, taking the stairs instead of an elevator, stretching or flexing and releasing muscles during class, doing jumping jacks, sit-ups, or push-ups during study breaks, or simply walking to class can help. “Don’t take the bus when class is only five minutes away,” urges

Cano, who also encourages freshmen to find an activity they like to do, and try to do it every day. “It’s important to find something that works for you, something that you enjoy; that way you are more likely to stick with it,” Cano says. “Find a gym buddy. It’s easier to do something when you have someone to do it with.” For those who aren’t fond of exercising in public, there are other options. “YouTube has some great fitness videos you can do right in your room,” shares Wrightson. “You don’t have to go to the gym. You can try dance, hip-hop, kickboxing, Zumba.” No matter how freshmen decide to stay fit, what they shouldn’t do is focus too much on numbers or be too hard on themselves should they gain a pound or two. “Throw away your scale,” says Wrightson. Adds Fisher: “Don’t get too obsessed over any weight gained or lost. Obsessing over the weight may actually deter healthy behaviors. It’s more important to eat and to exercise for the mental and physical health benefits.” HJ For more information on nutrition and exercise guidelines, visit the Web sites of the United States Department of Agriculture (www.mypyramid.gov) or the American College of Sports Medicine (www.acsm.org).

Warm Up for a More Efficient Workout Written By Greg Tudor

e all have busy schedules. But squeezing in exercise when we’re constantly on the go means we often overlook an important part of working out: a proper warm-up. When you skip a warm-up, you not only put your body at greater risk for injury but also make your workout more difficult and less effective. To get the most out of each fitness session, it is essential to take time to warm up before you get started. As you begin any physical activity, several changes take place in the body—respiration and blood flow increase, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to cells. A warm-up allows this increase to occur steadily and gradually prepares the body for the physical stress of exercise. If not properly warmed up, the body will function less efficiently and you’ll see fewer results for your efforts. There are many good reasons to warm up (see sidebar at right), the most important being to prepare your body and mind for the more strenuous work to come. A warm-up can be quick: Five minutes is all you need, and any type of cardio is OK. Just remember to mix it up each time. Hop on the treadmill, spin bike, elliptical or stair machine for a few minutes, or take a brisk walk. Allowing your body to ease into the activity ahead will ensure a better performance while decreasing the potential for injury. You may find each workout to be more productive, efficient, and best of all, enjoyable. Next month, I’ll talk about the importance of cooling down after exercise. HJ

Why Warm Up? • A good warm-up helps to break down the chemical complex of oxygen and hemoglobin in the blood, enhancing the delivery of oxygen to your muscles. • As your body temperature rises, your potential for muscle and connective tissue injuries lowers. • Increasing blood flow to the heart reduces the risk for exercise-induced cardiac problems, as the heart and blood vessels have time to adjust to more demands for oxygen. • Motor skills get a boost as neural pathways open up. • Muscles are suppler after a good warm-up session, enhancing their power and efficiency. • A good sweat helps to reduce stored body heat, allowing you to have a safer and more comfortable workout for longer.

Bioidenticals: Are They Safe? Menopausal women and their doctors are reporting good results with bioidentical hormones, but use of these plant-based substances is unregulated, leaving some experts worried. Written By Alison Johnson

THE HEALTH JOURNAL

August 2009

my Dodd understands some people see her as a guinea pig—in fact, she uses that term herself. The hormones that Dodd, 57, has taken for about a year to fight hot flashes and falling energy levels aren’t backed by comprehensive or longterm safety studies. While doctors who prescribe them say small studies and patient evidence suggest they’re no riskier than standard synthetic hormone replacement therapy—and perhaps less so—others aren’t convinced they’re the right answer for women dealing with symptoms of menopause and aging. But Dodd—along with her older sister and several of her friends—have embraced the medications, known as compounded bioidentical hormones. They and their doctors believe the plantbased hormones, mixed by pharmacists to mimic the natural hormones that are in a woman’s body before menopause, are a reliable addition to the list of treatment options for women who are suffering through menopause. “My quality of life is just so good right now that I don’t think about it,” says Dodd, who lives in Chesapeake. “I have had tremendous results. I feel better overall, I’m not as foggy and I have more stamina and energy. The hot flashes, which I’d had every day, went away.” Asked how long she’d stay on bioidenticals, Dodd responds: “I will take them as long as my doctor recommends it. I feel very confident with her guiding me because she is really monitoring me. She has spent a lot of time with me right from the beginning and has tailored this treatment to me.” Bioidentical hormones recently have grabbed headlines thanks to attention from celebrity fitness guru Suzanne Somers, a strong proponent, and Oprah Winfrey. Local women and doctors who use and prescribe the pills, gels and creams say they’ve had remarkable results with the products, which aren’t regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. But many in the medical community are wary of that growing popularity, worrying about the lack of quality control and standardization of ingredients and doses, which the FDA requires for medications it approves. The American Medical Association recently stressed that there is no credible evidence that bioidenticals are safer than traditional estrogen and progesterone treatments. The group also

is concerned about for-profit businesses making unproven claims and possibly selling unsafe products. Compounded bioidenticals—which are different from hormones that are approved by the FDA—rely on an individual pharmacist’s work, rather than on set guidelines for production as based on rigorous clinical trials, says Dr. David Archer, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk and a past president of the North American Menopause Society. “I’m not knocking the compounding pharmacists,” says Archer, also director of EVMS’ Clinical Research Center. “I’m just saying that there is a greater variability involved that has never been tested or assessed.” Patients also shouldn’t believe there are no risks of serious problems with bioidenticals, just as there are with synthetic hormones, Archer adds. Those dangers include a higher risk of stroke and blood clots. “The implication that if you get something ‘tailor-made’ for you and ‘exactly like your body makes,’ then you’ll have no side effects—that really is not accurate,” he says. Doctors who prescribe bioidenticals say women are getting significant relief and, in their experience, not dealing with side effects. In some cases, patients feel so much better that they can wean off antidepressants prescribed for post-menopausal mood swings. Some of the doctors are so confident about the treatment that they take compounded hormones themselves. “I can’t tell you how many women have walked through my door and just said, ‘Thank you,’” says Dr. Linda Long, a gynecologist and co-owner of Synergy, an integrative medical center in Chesapeake that specializes in bioidentical hormones. “Maybe 20 years from now we’ll realize this was not the right thing to do, and [today] we have conversations with every patient about the possible risks. But I have people telling me they have a new life. I see women who are no longer willing to put up with these problems and suffer in silence.”

Menopause and hormone replacement therapy Due to falling levels of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone leading up to and after menopause, women can suffer from problems that include hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, concentration

10 Menopause Myths Debunked Menopause is a disease. No, it’s a natural, universal part of life. During menopause, the body stops producing hormones. The ovaries stop releasing eggs, not hormones. Production of estrogen and progesterone slows, but it doesn’t stop. As a woman’s estrogen and progesterone levels decline, so does her interest in sex. Women of all ages can experience low libido for a variety of reasons, but sex during and after menopause can be just as, if not more, satisfying and fulfilling as it was before. Many menopausal women experience vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse, but these symptoms can often be treated successfully.

“My goal is to educate women about the difference between the treatments, but it’s really about what the woman wants,” says Dr. Paykel.

Menopause sets in by age 50. In 2006, the average age for female menopause to begin was 51 or 52, but some women experience it as young as 40 (and in some rare cases even earlier). It’s a signal that the end of life is fast approaching. Today the average female life expectancy in the U.S. is nearly 81 years, making menopause more a sign of mid-life than old age. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is needed to help prevent osteoporosis and other diseases. According to the Mayo Clinic, hormone therapy can be a short-term solution to quell the not-so-pretty symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, sleep problems and vaginal dryness, but it should not be used long-term due to recent data that suggests it could increase a woman’s risk for blood clots, heart disease, cancer, stroke and dementia. All women experience uncomfortable symptoms during menopause. It’s estimated that as many as 15 percent of menopausal women experience only one symptom: loss of menstruation. Menopause affects only women. Sorry, Charlie. Andropause, known as “male menopause,” is marked by fluctuating hormones and decreased sex drive. When you lose your menses, you lose your mind. While changes in hormones can affect concentration, forgetfulness is more a sign of aging or stress than menopause. Menopause is brief; it only lasts a few months or a year. While menopause is officially reached after 12 months without menstruation, the process can take several years.

Bioidenticals: ARE THEY SAFE?

Continued from page 23 problems and increased anxiety and irritability. “These are huge quality-of-life issues,” says Dr. Jennifer Krup, a physician and co-owner of the RejuvinAge center in Virginia Beach. The majority of women who look into hormone replacement therapy, also known as HRT, are 40 and older. For many years, doctors prescribed the medicines Premarin or Prempro, both synthetic hormones, without worry and often with good results. Premarin is a mixture of estrogens made from the urine of pregnant horses, while Prempro is a combination of horse estrogens and synthetic progesterone. Doctors believed that the drugs, in addition to easing menopausal symptoms, also helped protect women against heart disease, osteoporosis, dementia and skin wrinkling. The picture changed in 2002 with the release of data from a large federal study called the Women’s Health Initiative. It showed that the common combination of estrogen and progesterone in HRT actually didn’t guard against heart disease and in fact raised the risk

of breast cancer, stroke and blood clots. Later research indicated HRT patients who develop certain types of cancer are more likely to die than cancer patients not on the therapy. Alarmed, about 85 percent of women on treatment stopped it within a month. Synthetic hormones have hardly disappeared. For some patients, the symptoms of menopause are so debilitating that HRT seems well worth the risk. And depending on an individual woman’s medical history, that risk actually can be very low (or may not apply at all, since most women now taking HRT use hormones in different combinations and for shorter lengths of time than in the past). Doctors today do follow one general guideline: Use the lowest dose of medication for the shortest possible period. Many doctors also encourage women to try lifestyle changes before considering any form of HRT. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, limiting sweets and exercising regularly can make an enormous difference, says Dr. Jacquelyn Paykel, an OB/ GYN with WomanCare of Williamsburg. Paykel has all of her patients keep detailed

food diaries, for example. “I believe we’ve got to take a multi-faceted approach to wellness in women,” she says.

The rise of bioidentical hormones Over the past decade or so, an alternative—bioidentical hormones—began spreading through Europe and the West Coast of the United States. The medications have the same molecular structure as hormones produced by a woman’s body before the hormonal fluctuations leading to menopause. The Food and Drug Administration has approved some bioidentical-based therapies, including estradiol products (estrogen) and Prometrium (progesterone). Most of Dr. Paykel’s patients are on those pills rather than compounded products, largely because insurance generally covers them. She follows the lowest-dosepossible approach but overall prefers them to Premarin and Prempro: “Why wouldn’t you? You’re replacing something that was already in your body.” Pharmacies also can blend bioidenticals based on prescriptions written to Continued on page 27

Bioidenticals Continued from page 25 match an individual patient’s exact hormonal needs. Doctors determine those with regular blood work and by taking a woman’s age and medical history into account. Dosages aren’t limited; a woman who needs more progesterone to sleep better, for example, may be prescribed a higher dose of that hormone than a woman suffering hot flashes due to a lack of estrogen. “Each treatment is as unique as the person,” Dr. Long notes. “It’s never Krup recognizes cookie-cutter. Compliance is really high because they bioidenticals are not a know it’s making them feel “risk-free” treatment— better. These are ladies who are suffering, whose relanothing is, she says—but tionships are suffering, she believes they are and this is improving their lives. It’s hard to argue with “generally less of a risk, those results.” The main because you’re not putting side effects she has seen are water retention, bloatforeign substances into ing, breast tenderness and acne. Those usually resolve your body.” in four to six weeks after her team has determined ideal dosages, Long says.

Small studies from Europe show the hormones don’t appear to carry the same risk as older forms of HRT, Long says. So do doctors’ experiences on the West Coast, where bioidenticals have been in use for more than 10 years, Krup adds. Still, patients who choose the therapy should be sure the pharmacy they use is accredited through the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board, a national nonprofit that has set safety standards (compounding pharmacies also are regulated by states). “If I hear someone has placed an Internet order, I cringe,” Krup says. Patients also should be prepared to pay out of pocket for much or all of what can be a pricey treatment—an average of about $150 a month, according to Krup’s office. The American Medical Association adds that women should be wary of anyone who promotes bioidenticals as weight loss or “anti-aging” pills. Local doctors generally avoid the “anti-aging”

term altogether. But, they add, many patients do feel younger—and even look younger—once they’re more rested, have energy to exercise and don’t feel as stressed. “So then the question becomes: what does ‘anti-aging’ mean?” Dr. Krup asks.

Making a choice With so many complex options, how does a woman know what to do? Dr. Paykel simply likes the idea that there are more treatment choices— and that menopausal symptoms, once frequently swept under the rug, are getting more attention. “My goal is to educate women about the difference between the treatments, but it’s really about what the woman wants,” she says. “Knowledge is power.” Dr. Krup, who is on bioidenticals herself and has about 350 patients on them at any given time, says finding the best Continued on page 28

FEATURE Continued from page 27 treatment takes research and sometimes a see-howit-goes approach. “I don’t like the term ‘better,’” she says. “I like, ‘More helpful for some people.’ If you’re on traditional medical treatment and feel fabulous, why change? But if not, we offer an alternative that for me and many of my patients has worked wonders.” As for safety research, all doctors do wish there was more. They argue that there isn’t because pharmaceutical companies don’t sell compounded bioidenticals, can’t patent them and thus have no financial incentives to fund large-scale studies. Krup recognizes they’re not a “risk-free treatment”—nothing is, she says—but she believes they are “generally less of a risk, because

you’re not putting foreign substances into your body. I just have no scientific proof.” For Madelyn Reass of Norfolk, the “proof” is the simple fact that she feels much better on her current regimen of bioidenticals. Reass, 62, started going into menopause in her early 40s. She tried standard HRT but gained weight and felt sluggish and bloated. In recent years, since starting bioidenticals, she has dropped 50 pounds and seen her energy skyrocket (she has combined the therapy with regular exercise and a diet low in unhealthy carbohydrates.). She has had no noticeable side effects. “You could speak to 100 different doctors and get

100 different opinions,” says Reass. “I’ve learned in my life that I have to do my own research and make up my own mind about what’s best for me. I think all women should know what their options are. It may not be for you, but it may be just what you’re looking for.”

Into the future

Large-scale testing of compounding bioidenticals is unlikely to come anytime soon due to the cost of funding a clinical trial, Dr. Archer believes. “I just don’t see anyone going out of their way to do one,” he says. “Unless there is scientific data, the medical community can’t really judge this.” For women who want treatment for menopausal symptoms, he generally would recommend an FDA-approved estrogen; he also suggests Casey BMW Casey BMW trying deep breathing at the start of a hot flash, wearing loose clothing and avoiding triggers such as alcohol and caffeine.

Dr. Krup believes bioidenticals will spread and gradually gain greater acceptance. “It will take time, but I really do foresee it coming,” she says. Dr. Paykel predicts an overall greater emphasis on body-mind-spirit health that includes bioidenticals. And Dr. Long thinks Oprah Winfrey and Suzanne Somers “struck a real chord” that won’t soon fade away because the boomer population isn’t willing to suffer symptoms in silence. In the meantime, many women aren’t waiting for an official verdict. Amy Dodd’s sister, 65-year-old Susan Goode of Chesapeake, started on bioidenticals in March after consulting Dr. Linda Long. Goode had been on standard HRT for at least 15 years in the past—she went through abrupt menopause at age 49— before the Women’s Health Initiative data scared her off. Now each night, she applies an estrogen gel and testosterone cream and takes a progesterone pill prescribed by Dr. Long. Goode’s goals are to feel better overall, protect her bone strength and increase her libido. She already has noticed a difference with the latter. “That’s a huge Don’t be.

Higher Folate Levels Linked to Lower Allergy Risk Folic acid may influence development of allergy and asthma NEW YORK (Reuters Health)

Researchers say the findings are in line with other research that has linked low levels of folate to a greater risk of inflammatory conditions such as heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

eople with higher levels of the B-vitamin folate in their blood are less likely to have certain symptoms of allergic disease, a new analysis of U.S. data shows. “These findings suggest that dietary folic acid and factors affecting its metabolism might play an important role in the development and perpetuation of allergy and asthma,” write the study’s authors, Drs. Elizabeth C. Matsui and William Matsui of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. There has been a sharp increase in the percentage of people in the developed world with allergies and asthma over the past couple of decades, the researchers note in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. And in recent years, they add, levels of blood folate among U.S. citizens have been rising due to fortification of grain products with the vitamin, a practice initiated in 1998 to help prevent birth defects. To investigate the possible role of blood folate levels in allergy, the researchers looked at 8,083 people two years of age and older participating in the 2005–06 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The higher a person’s folate levels, the researchers found, the lower their levels of immunoglobulin E, the antibody responsible for allergic reactions. People with higher folate levels also were less likely to have wheezing and atopy (hypersensitivity), or the tendency to develop allergies. While there also was a link between higher folate levels and a lower likelihood of having an asthma diagnosis, this relationship wasn’t statistically significant. Because the study was cross-sectional, meaning it only looked at a single point in time, the findings can’t show whether high folate levels might prevent a person from becoming sensitized to allergens, prevent the development of allergy in alreadysensitized individuals, or whether levels of the nutrient have any sort of causal relationship to allergy symptoms at all, the researchers say. But the findings are in line with other research that has linked low levels of folate to a greater risk of inflammatory conditions such as heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis, they add. “Additional prospective studies will be required to lend insight to the potential role of folic acid supplementation in the primary prevention, treatment, or both of allergic diseases,” the researchers conclude.

SECOND OPINION

Urinary Incontinence: Embarrassing and Inconvenient, But Treatable Written By Dr. Jennifer Miles-Thomas

re you familiar with every rest stop on I-64? When you go out to dinner, do you request the table closest to the bathroom? Urinary incontinence, or poor bladder control, affects nearly 25 million people each year. There are several different types of incontinence, including stress, urge and overflow. Stress incontinence is the leakage of small amounts of urine while sneezing, coughing or performing any physical activity. Childbirth and some surgeries are the most common causes of stress incontinence. Urge incontinence is the unexpected, sudden urge to urinate and can be caused by infections that irritate the bladder. Constipation and nervous system disorders (i.e., stroke) as well as certain medications may also cause urge incontinence. Overflow incontinence is the inability to empty the bladder completely, resulting in frequent or constant leaking. Women over the age of 40 are three times more likely to suffer from urinary incontinence than men of the same age. Childbirth can injure the pelvic floor muscles supporting the bladder, causing the involuntary loss of urine. Men, on the other hand, often develop incontinence as a result of prostatic disease. The removal of the prostate gland or damage to nerves can lead to stress incontinence, while an enlarged prostate gland can cause blockage in the urethra and create overflow incontinence. Men over 50 years of age are at higher risk of developing incontinence than younger men. Risk factors for urinary incontinence for both men and women include obesity, smoking, vascular disease, kidney disease and diabetes. If not treated, urinary incon-

tinence can lead to complications such as bladder infections, skin ulcers and an overall decline in quality of life. Treating urinary incontinence can be as simple as making lifestyle changes or taking oral medication. Anticholinergic drugs are prescription medications that calm the overactive bladder, while antibiotics may be prescribed for incontinence caused by an infection. Pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, scheduled toilet trips (timed voiding) and weight-loss can help control the symptoms of incontinence. Severe incontinence, however, may require a more invasive intervention such as surgery. In some cases, urinary incontinence can actually be prevented. Simple lifestyle choices including not smoking, reducing body weight, eating foods high in fiber and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle can help to prevent symptoms associated with urinary incontinence. If you or someone you know is suffering from the inconvenient and often embarrassing symptoms of urinary incontinence, see a doctor. On average, women live with symptoms unnecessarily for six years before seeking treatmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and men, an average of four years. Eighty percent of people who seek treatment for urinary incontinence either see a drastic reduction in symptoms or experience no symptoms at all. HJ

PROFILE

Setting His Sights On New Horizons Interview By Brenda H. Welch Photography By Brian M. Freer

few years ago, 56-year-old Ken Krakaur got a wake-up call: He was in a meeting listening to a speaker talk about finding the “personal message” in the mission of your company. As the senior vice president of Sentara Healthcare and president of Sentara’s Peninsula Region, Krakaur knew the company’s mission by heart—“to improve health care every day.” With an education and background in finance, Krakaur had blazed his career path with numbers. But that meeting and the speaker’s idea gave him a new perspective on coming to work every day. “I realized that [what’s important for me at work now],” says Krakaur, “is to make sure that mothers stay mothers and dads stay dads for as long as possible.”

Ken Krakaur

“Sailing is not about the destination; it’s about that feeling of surrendering yourself to Mother Nature.” Since then, Krakaur has been a strong proponent of developing two cutting-edge comprehensive breast care centers: The Women’s Imaging Pavilion at Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center and the Dorothy G. Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center in Newport News. In June, both centers were among the nation’s first breast care programs to gain full, three-year accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). Recently, Krakaur spoke with The Health Journal about his short-term goals for Sentara, his love of sailing and how he has found the time to author four books. HJ: What are Sentara’s main goals for the next five to 10 years? KK: We are pushing very hard to place within the national top 10 percent in a variety of measures— most of which have to do with clinical outcomes and customer service. If I can reach my early 60s knowing that we delivered on that promise, for me, that would be extremely fulfilling career-wise. HJ: What was the motivation behind authoring four books? KK: The writing of the first two books [Last Call: A Sailor’s Diary, released in 1996, and A Sailor’s Diary: The Book of Lessons, released in 2001 with a planned re-release this year] was more about

wanting to document the six years of my life living in Virginia, sailing and working in the health care industry. I did it as something to leave behind for my children and grandchildren and so that people in the future would know what I did and who I was. Those books were just kind of personal and not widely distributed. Beyond the Shore [2008] came about because I met an extraordinary young woman when I was sailing who displayed incredible courage at a young age. When she was in her early 20s, she joined a delivery crew and delivered a 40-foot boat from South Africa to Italy. I was so taken by this young girl’s courage that I thought it would be an inspiration for writing a story. The people who read Beyond the Shore seemed to have been taken by [both] the female and male characters. In the Blink of an Eye [2009] is a prequel that gets more into the male character of the story. HJ: What draws you to sailing? KK: There are two types of sailing—racing and cruising. As for racing, I enjoy the competition, the adrenaline and the excitement that you get with any

Age: 56 Hometown: North Belmar, N.Y. Family: Wife, Priscilla; daughters: Allison, 28, and Rachel, 26 Education: Quinnipiac University in Hampden, Conn.

PROFILE competitive sport. With cruising, the appeal is getting those sails up and allowing Mother Nature to blow you around in the islands or on the river. People who join me on the boat often ask me where we are going, and I tell them, “Wherever the winds take us.” Sailing is not about the destination; it’s about that feeling of surrendering yourself to Mother Nature. HJ: You’re very involved with the American Theatre in Hampton. What has been your favorite performance? KK: There are probably two I’ve most enjoyed. One was a dance group called Momix, and they were on tour doing a show called “Momix in Baseball.” It was modern dance, but with a baseball theme. They did a tribute to Mickey Mantle that was just fantastic. My other favorite performer has been [sitar player] Anoushka Shankar. HJ: We hear that you carry a vial of sand in your pocket. What is the meaning behind that? KK: A couple of years ago, some Tibetan monks were at the American Theatre giving lectures. The monks were building a sand mandala, [or painting], and the director of the theatre gave me a small packet of sand from their painting. He said that the sand represented two very important things: wisdom and compassion. He told me that what the monks teach is that, on the wisdom side, you should make your decisions very carefully, more based on logic than on emotion. On the compassion side, [they say to] always consider the impact those decisions will have on others. The director suggested that I carry the sand with me in my wallet, and when I am confused about what to do, to just remember that wisdom and compassion are the keys to living a good life. I think they are very good rules to live by. HJ
