Certified nurse midwife is part of KVH team

By NICOLE KLAUSS staff writer

T

ina Fought has delivered around 3,000 babies in her time as a certified nurse midwife, and in spring 2016 she joined the team at Kittitas Valley Healthcare Women’s Health.

Fought, CNM, WHNP, became a certified nurse midwife in 1995 to help women have the pregnancies they envisioned.

Kittitas Valley Healthcare recruited Fought from Salt Lake City after they recruited Dr. Vicki Macy, who specializes in gynecology and obstetrics. The two providers knew each other, though their work together was limited in Utah. Now they work together frequently at KVH, Fought said.

Background Fought became interested in midwifery after giving birth to her own two children because she got the feeling that her experience could have been different.

“It wasn’t bad — my sons were healthy — but it wasn’t the event that

I had envisioned it to be,” she said.

At the time she was a registered nurse working in critical care and the intensive care unit, and she decided to pursue further education.

Her degree in nursing is from the University of Kansas, and she attended the University of Utah for her graduate studies in midwifery.

The difference between a certified nurse midwife and a midwife is based on education.

“Midwives in the state of Washington may be certified by the state of Washington, may have attended a trade school, but they do not have academic preparation,” Fought said. “Mine is a graduatelevel preparation comparable to an attorney. First I’m an RN, which is a bachelor’s prepared degree, and then midwifery which is a master’s in science.”

Amy Diaz, community relations director for KVH, said Fought is also a women’s health nurse practitioner.

“She has a dual certification and is the only person in Kittitas County to my knowledge to have that dual certification — certified midwife nurse practitioner,” Diaz said.

A partnership

Scope of practice

Fought said one of the ideas that midwifery embraces is a partnership with patients.

“We look at what it is they are wanting to accomplish, whether it’s in a visit, whether it’s in the course of a pregnancy, and what are their aspirations and goals because it’s not about me,” she said. “It’s about them. I don’t see patients with a preconceived agenda.”

A patient seeing a certified nurse midwife would not see the midwife any less than she’d see a doctor, but often would have more appointments earlier on in a pregnancy. Fought said she likes to see patients a couple of days after they deliver to make sure they are figuring things out like breastfeeding and coping with a new baby, and then she sees them again a couple of weeks later.

There are certain federal guidelines that Fought has to follow, but overall there is room to make a pregnancy the experience a patient hopes for within the parameter that Fought delivers babies at the hospital.

Fought said pregnancy is also a window of opportunity for women to look at their overall health.

“The motivation women have in pregnancy to look at their diet, to look at smoking habits, to look at exercise habits — it’s immense,” she said.

“It’s a great opportunity to make healthy families.”

A patient seeing a certified nurse midwife would receive the same level of care as someone who sees an OB-GYN, and they don’t have to be pregnant to make an appointment with Fought.

She sees women for all reasons such as menopause, hormone replacement therapy and regular women’s health issues like prescriptions, mammograms, blood testing, birth control options and health screenings.

The main difference between an OB-GYN and a nurse midwife is that if there is a surgical issue, the OB-GYN would be called in, but Fought would work directly with that doctor to make sure the patient still gets the experience she is hoping for. Fought has some surgical privileges such as performing episiotomies, but major complications would be handled by an OB-GYN who has additional education.

Goals Fought said she wants to build her practice on all levels: obstetrics, gynecology and women’s health care.

“I hope there will be a growing shift in women who are seeking care to seek out midwifery care because they deserve it,” she said.

YAKIMA

Part of building her practice involves work in Cle Elum. Fought and Macy have been working in Cle Elum twice a month to give patients access to OB-GYN care. Cle Elum currently has family practice providers in the area, but they do not do deliveries, so patients transfer to doctors in Ellensburg and elsewhere late in their pregnancies.

Fought is working to get credentialed with insurance companies, though she already is certified with the most common companies in the state.

“That’s pretty standard and frustrating especially in small organizations when you have a provider who joins the organization and they’re not immediately credentialed,” Diaz said. “You have to go through a process and it can sometimes take up to a year to get approved so then someone who wants to see a provider before they’re approved could be paying out of pocket.”

Fought also wants to focus on providing delivery services “that are safe and satisfying and that people come away with this wow factor.”

“Pregnancy is not a disease,” she said. “It’s not an illness. It’s an extension of health. It’s a stage where women are and an event that they’re going through.”

Do home cold remedies really work?

By SEEMA YASMIN The Dallas Morning News

K

ids have an average of six to eight colds each year and adults have two to four.

feeling sick from a cold that adults typically experiences each year could be reduced to about 11 days with the help of vitamin C. However, in some studies where vitamin C is compared to a placebo pill, people taking vitamin C are no better off than people taking a placebo.

Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits and berries. The recommended daily dose is 90 mg for men and 75 mg for women. Some people take a higher dose, especially during cold season, but doses higher than 2000 mg per day have been linked to stomach problems and kidney stones.

Echinacea Which home remedies do you use for colds and do you know if they really work? News that a homeopathic teething remedy has caused the deaths of at least 10 children has raised questions about the safety and effectiveness of alternative medicines for treating common problems.

Vitamin C Vitamin C was first mentioned as a treatment for the cold in the 1970s. Since then it’s been studied in dozens of trials. Some have found that if taken daily before you catch a cold, vitamin C can decrease the severity of symptoms such as sore throat and runny nose.

It’s also been found to shorten the duration of colds by about 10 percent if taken soon after symptoms begin. That means the 12 days of

The jury is still out on the effectiveness of echincaea, a flowering herb which is made into tinctures and teas and commonly used to combat colds. Some studies show it boosts the number of white cells which could mean a stronger immune response to infections. But other studies find echinacea doesn’t really do much.

It seems the worst that can happen with echinacea is an allergic reaction that causes a rash and in some people, serious anaphylactic shock. A more common side effect of the herb is an upset stomach. Echinacea can cause liver problems if combined with heart medicines such as amiodarone.

Zinc A study published in 2011 found zinc

supplements shortened the duration of a cold and reduced the number of days kids skipped school because of illness. The study reviewed the results of 15 experiments and found taking zinc also cut the use of antibiotics.

Some of the studies showed zinc only seemed to work if taken within the first day of symptoms. People who took supplements soon after they fell ill were sick for one day less than those who took a placebo pill.

Again, there are mixed results on the effectiveness of this supplement. A 2009 study found there simply wasn’t enough evidence to recommend zinc as a way to prevent and treat colds.

Zinc may interfere with one of the most common causes of the cold — rhinoviruses.

The supplement has been found to stop rhinoviruses from replication and could block the virus from latching on to human cells.

Garlic Some small studies found garlic supplements reduced the number of colds a person experienced and quickened the pace at which they recovered from a cold. But these were studies of only a few hundred people.

A larger analysis which grouped together the results of eight experiments found there was not enough evidence to say that garlic wards off colds. Garlic breath might ward off people which could be one way of staying germ-free during cold season.

from cigarette smoke, chemical irritants and others hazards, and people who have contagious diseases. But, what about that cookie your baby picked up from the kitchen floor and put in his mouth, or when your little one snuggles with the family dog?

Mayo Clinic infectious diseases specialist Dr. Pritish Tosh says: "I think, for a long time, we as a society have been too clean. We are learning more and more about the human microbiome. These are the normal bacteria that inhibit our gut. We used to think these were tenants in our GI tract, but, now, we are learning more and more over the last years that the normal microflora are really important to our immune systems functions. Things can be

linked to a really diverse microbiome, and a lot of the bacteria are often gotten during infancy, when kids are rooting around and putting things in their mouth."

Tosh says being a new dad has made him more aware as a doctor about infectious diseases, including children's exposure to the environment.

"As much as it is sort of an impulse to take things that have dropped on the floor and take it out of his mouth, intellectually I'm able to say, 'That's probably not that bad, but, in general, being a little more lax about everything needing to be sterile around the baby.

"And it's probably a good benefit to being exposed to the environment," says Tosh. "We are learning more about this subject every day."

Preventing sports injuries H

igh school athletes are naturally at risk for sports-related injuries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these athletes account for an estimated 2 million injuries, 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000 hospitalizations annually.

So what kind of steps can you take to make sure your high school student-athlete stays safe on the diamond, football field or track? As with most injury-related issues, it all comes down to preparation and preventive education.

wrestling had the greatest proportions and severity of injuries While these findings point to some of the most dangerous activities, they aren’t conclusive. You may think soccer is less dangerous than football, but studies have found increased occurrences of concussions in the sport. Golf may not seem like a very dangerous athletic endeavor to those outside the sport, but those who have participated know that injuries can take a toll.

Types of injuries and safety Most at risk sports From baseball, basketball and soccer to football, wrestling and volleyball, high school athletics spread across a broad spectrum of activities. Some have higher degrees of contact and difficulty, putting kids more at risk for injuries.

Of the nine different sports studied, the CDC confirmed that football, girls basketball and

Just as there are many different sports for boys and girls to choose from at the high school level, there are many types of injuries that can occur.

These can range from cuts and bruises to mobilitylimiting sprains and fractures.

Concussions have grabbed the national spotlight with Hollywood movies and high-profile athletes calling attention to the issue. The high-school level

can be just as dangerous, so precautions must be taken when it comes to protecting the heads of student-athletes.

Safety is always the goal so that high school athletes can play, compete and thrive in their chosen sports. According to Kids Health (The Nemours Foundation), student-athletes should follow four guiding principles: • The use of compliant and properly fitting equipment; • The appropriate maintenance and integrity of playing surfaces; • Adult supervision and commitment to safety; and • Proper preparation.

If any of your child’s athletic experiences fail to meet these standards, it’s time to bring it up to your school board, coach or community leaders. We must work together to ensure the consistent safety of our children.

Donating blood Simple and powerful way to help others in need onating blood is a powerful way to help others. It is a very simple and safe procedure, and even people as young as 17 can donate.

D

Giving blood in Kittitas County

People donate blood for many reasons. Maybe they are returning the favor after a friend or family member received blood. Maybe they do it for the health benefits. No matter the thinking, everyone can agree that blood donations are critical to our healthcare system.

The American Red Cross has regular blood drives in Ellensburg the second Tuesday of each month, usually from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Hal Holmes Center, 209 N. Ruby St. For an appointment, call 1-800-733-2767.

Walk-ins without an appointment are welcome.

For more information on giving blood, call or go to www.redcrossblood.org/pnw.

The benefits There are actual benefits to donating blood besides feelings of good will.

Before a donation, blood donors receive a mini-physical that comes with a full report. According to the Red Cross, these aspects are reviewed during these checks: • pulse; • blood pressure; • body temperature; and • hemoglobin.

Why is this such a great benefit?

During this check, it’s possible that blood donation professionals may find underlying health issues. You could be alerted to something you didn’t know about and prompted to follow-up with your physician for next steps.

The process The process of blood donation has been refined and improved over the

years. There are different kinds of blood donation, and depending on what you are participating in, you will be given information on all of the related processes.

According to the Red Cross, these are the basic requirements for donors: • Be in good general health and feeling well; • Be at least 17 years old in most states, or 16 years old with parental consent if allowed by state; and • Weigh at least 110 pounds.

(Additional weight requirements apply for donors 18 and younger.)

Thinking of donating? The Red Cross recommends the following steps: • Have a light meal and plenty to drink; • Bring your donor card, driver’s license or two other forms of identification; • Bring the names of medications you are taking; • Wear a comfortable top that can be rolled up easily; and • Bring a support person if you feel a little apprehensive.

Health and desk jobs

B

rains are working hard while at a desk job, but the rest of the body is quite inactive.

Special efforts are needed to stay healthy in this case. Why bother?

Because studies show that sedentary lifestyles can lead to health issues such as obesity, diabetes and mobility issues.

We owe it to ourselves, our co-workers and our families to get up from the chair every once in a while and keep our bodies moving. The success of

Moving at work

our careers may depend on it.

The risks of inactivity If you have a desk job, there could be physical consequences down the road even if you stick to a regular exercise routine. That means that no matter how often you try to hit the gym, your work situation may be hampering you in the long run.

Long periods of inactivity can put stress and strain on the whole body. Over time, according to Blue Cross Blue Shield, people who sit for a long time without moving are more likely to have joint, bone and posture problems. They also have increased risk of obesity and related conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke, among others.

The physical effects will eventually lower energy levels and mental alertness. This sluggishness could affect your productivity at work. Develop a plan that you can realistically stick with over the course of months and years.

We need to move to stay healthy, so we have to think of creative ways to incorporate more movement during those eight hours at the desk.

The experts at BCBS suggest these tips: • Take the stairs, not the elevator for a healthy burst of movement.

• Walk to a co-worker’s desk rather than calling or emailing. This simple step — or steps — can make a huge daily difference. You may be more productive, too.

• When someone comes to your desk, stand up to talk and use the opportunity to stretch your legs and arms.

• Take a brisk morning and afternoon walk around your building. Your lunch break can make for the perfect time for a walk.

• If you run errands during lunchtime, walk briskly to and from your car. Park far away from your company’s entrance if possible. Extra steps add up quickly.

YOUR HEALTH | STAYING HEALTHY

Benefits of Sleep S

leep is the foundation for overall good health. Without sleep we’re grouchy and testy. With proper sleep, we’re back to our old peachy selves.

Getting plenty of sleep will improve your quality of life both mentally and physically, so finding ways to increase your ratio of shut-eye to being awake should be an important part of your overall health.

Some of the benefits of sleep are quite obvious, because we can all relate to that feeling of rest when we sleep well. That gives us significant advantage over sleep-deprived people in many areas of life, including job performance and overall relationships with others.

But just how many of us are getting a full night’s sleep? Not enough. About 70 million Americans of all ages suffer from chronic sleep problems, according to the National Institutes of Health.

LACK OF SLEEP Because Americans are very busy, sleep is sacrificed too often in order to keep up the pace. However, sleep deprivation actually decreases an individual’s quality of life.

According to the NIH, although personal needs vary,

on average, adults need seven to eight hours of sleep per night. Babies typically sleep about 16 hours a day. Young children need at least 10 hours of sleep, while teenagers need at least nine hours.

If we consistently fall below these averages, there are many negative consequences, including increased irritability, dulled senses and less energy,

according to the NIH.

SLEEP TIPS Getting enough sleep is easier said than done, and sometimes it is just hard to wind down after a long day at the office. Sleep can be disrupted by many things, including stimulants such as caffeine or electronic distractions.

If you’re having trouble set-

tling into a consistent sleep routine, try these tips from the NIH: • Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning; • Sleep in a dark, quiet, comfortable environment; • Exercise daily (but not right before bedtime); • Limit the use of electronics before bed; and

• Avoid alcohol and stimulants such as caffeine late in the day.

If these tips do not help, talk to your doctor. There could be physical reasons why you cannot sleep, including insomnia and sleep apnea. These conditions can be dangerous, but they are treatable, so it’s important to visit your physician.

YOUR HEALTH | HEAD TO TOE

Maintaining Foot Health A

mericans are busy, and our feet are suffering. They take the brunt as we rush through our daily activities at work, home and the gym.

Those who simply ignore the problem may find that foot issues can impact the rest of the body in a hurry.

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, over half of Americans say foot pain restricts them from walking and exercising. This pain can be chronic or due to injury.

Either way, it’s important to practice proper stretching and wear proper footwear to keep your dogs from barking.

FOOT CONDITIONS Regular foot care is vital to keep feet healthy and pain-free.

Issues that are left untreated can sneak up on us and cause further damage. The continuous daily wear and tear can cause a variety of foot ailments, some of which can be serious.

Arthritis is one of these common ailments. Injuries can cause sprains and strains, which can be quite painful, and some diseases, such as diabetes, can cause further foot issues. All of these will limit your mobility.

Skin disorders such as athlete’s foot, corns and bunions are not as serious but are pain-

ful annoyances. Sweaty feet, ingrown toenails and fungus can cause social issues, along with health consequences.

TREATMENT & CARE TIPS Sometimes feet just need to

breathe. Rest and a good message can do wonders for aching feet, so don’t be afraid to pamper yourself at the first sign of a flare-up. Other ideas for treating and preventing foot pain include wearing shoe inserts or

custom-fit orthotics.

If foot problems develop, make an appointment with your local podiatrist. They are the experts in foot care, so reach outto them. They will be able to quickly gauge the seri-

ousness of your feet troubles and prescribe any special treatments needed.

A podiatrist also will have tips on proper footwear for different situations to help your feet stay healthy.

YOUR HEALTH | COMMON CONDITIONS

Dealing With Allergens A

llergies can be caused by the environment, food or reactions to medications.

And without a doubt, they can all cause misery. Itchy eyes and scratchy throats are just the beginning for many allergy sufferers.

More serious issues can occur if allergies are not kept in check. If you suspect that you may be suffering from an allergic reaction — even if it is mild — you should consider making an appointment with your physician to investigate.

WHAT ARE ALLERGIES? According to the Mayo Clinic, allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance by producing antibodies that identify a particular allergen as harmful, even though it isn’t.

The National Institutes of Health identifies the following as common allergy triggers: • Airborne allergens, such as pollen, animal dander, dust mites and mold; • Certain foods, particularly peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, eggs and milk; • Insect stings, such as bee or wasp stings; • Medications, particularly penicillin or penicillin-based antibiotics; and • Latex or other substances you touch, which can cause allergic skin reactions.

If your family has a history of allergy problems, it’s worth a checkup with your doctor to check your sensitivities.

When an allergy sufferer comes into contact with an allergen, his immune system reacts. Skin can become inflamed, as can sinuses, airways and digestive systems.

This results in a runny nose, sneezing, itching, rashes, swelling or asthma.

Allergies can range from minor to severe, and a life-threatening reaction

called anaphylaxis also can occur.

TREATMENTS & PREVENTION Sadly, there are many allergies that have no cure. Treatment and management are the only ways to relieve the suffering in many cases.

Nasal saline and 24-hour allergy medications or antihistamines can alle-

viate symptoms for many sufferers, but it’s important to check with your doctor before starting any new medication.

If dust or pet mites are causing your reactions, frequently washing your bedding in hot water can help tamp down the effect. Ventilation fans and dehumidifiers can reduce moisture in damp areas where mold grows.

Testing for the breast cancer gene From THE MAYO CLINIC NEWS NETWORK

D

ear Mayo Clinic: At my last mammogram, I asked my doctor if I could be tested for the breast cancer gene. She didn’t think it was necessary even though I have an aunt who had breast cancer. How do doctors decide who should be tested?

Why shouldn’t all women be tested?

A: Genetic testing for the gene mutations associated with breast cancer, called BRCA1 and BRCA2, is offered to people who are likely to have inherited one of the mutations, based on their personal and family medical history. There are other newer genetic tests that may be available, too, depending on a person’s family cancer history.

BRCA gene mutations are uncommon. Affecting only about one percent of the population, they are responsible for approximately 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers. Because of their rarity, testing everyone for them

isn’t necessary or recommended. If you’re concerned you might have one of these mutations, ask your doctor to help you assess your overall risk.

The first step in determining the possibility of a BRCA mutation is gathering a comprehensive family history. Your doctor would want to know if anyone in your family has had breast cancer or other types of cancer.

If you have a first-degree relative with the disease — a parent, sibling or child — that has more of an impact on your risk than other relatives who have breast cancer, such as aunts or cousins. If you have a male relative with breast cancer, that could raise your risk more significantly, too.

The age a relative was diagnosed with cancer also makes a difference. People who have a BRCA gene mutation tend to develop breast cancer at a younger age than people who do not. If someone in your family had breast cancer before 50, that may increase the possibility a genetic mutation could be involved.

Typically, a family with BRCA will show a pattern of breast cancer that affects multiple family members over several generations diagnosed with breast cancer at young ages. But other cancer diagnoses should be reviewed, too. Ovarian, pancreatic or prostate cancer at a young age also could point to a hereditary predisposition to breast cancer.

If your family history suggests the possibility of a BRCA gene mutation, consider meeting with a genetic counselor before you make any decisions about testing. A genetic counselor can use your family history to calculate the family’s risk of hereditary breast cancer more specifically.

He or she can help you fully understand the pros and cons of genetic testing. A genetic counselor also can offer guidance on the ideal individuals in the family to be tested first.

If genetic testing is recommended for you, you decide to have it done, and you learn that you do have a BRCA gene mutation, your risk

for breast cancer would be much higher than normal. In women without BRCA, the odds of getting breast cancer are 1 in 8. For people with a BRCA mutation, lifetime risk for breast cancer ranges from 50 to 80 percent. With that in mind, women who carry the mutation should be referred to a breast health specialist or breast center to determine how often they should be screened for breast cancer and review possible medical and surgical treatment options that are available to them, based on their individual circumstances.

Keep in mind that, for most people, the likelihood of having a BRCA gene mutation is low — even when a family member has had breast cancer. The vast majority of breast cancers are not inherited. It is important, however, for all women to be screened for breast cancer regularly. How often you need breast cancer screening tests should be based on your personal medical history, family history and preferences.

Talk to your doctor about the schedule that best fits your needs.
