Ketamine Infusions Becoming a Popular Anxiety Treatment Option in Chicago

Dec 15, 2021

December 15, 2021 - /PressAdvantage/ - IV Solution and Ketamine Centers of Chicago is the city’s first private facility to offer clinically proven intravenous ketamine therapy for the treatment of depression, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and other ailments. These treatments are done in a state-of-the-art facility by medical professionals that fully believe in tailoring treatments to meet each patient’s needs. Safety is also at the forefront of every treatment that this facility administers and the clinic’s staff is committed to providing the best patient outcomes that seek to improve a patient’s quality of life and overall well-being. The leader of the medical team at IV Solution and Ketamine Centers of Chicago is Dr. Bal Nandra, who has nearly 20-years of experience in the field of anesthesia and critical care. He says, “For many years the main way to treat those with mental health issues was to medicate them. While this did seem to help some patients, there were other drawbacks associated with using this approach to treat such conditions as anxiety. This includes the tendency of patients to over-medicate themselves. Sometimes these treatments even resulted in what is known as treatment-resistant depression (TRD). That’s why we here at the IV Solution and Ketamine Centers of Chicago use treatments that take a much different approach when it comes to helping people deal with an assortment of mental health issues.”

Dr. Nandra went on to state that their ketamine infusion treatments typically take around 45-minutes to perform. They are undertaken with the patient lying down comfortably during the duration of them. At which time the patient’s blood pressure and other vital signs are constantly monitored. He also mentioned that patients experience different durations that their treatments will last. At first, it may only be as little as 1 or 2 months and then after a few sessions, a patient may be able to go up to 6-months without needing another infusion. It was also mentioned that these treatments typically produce the desired results very quickly, can tap into worrisome & bothersome thinking patterns, and may help lessen or eliminate an anxious or depressed patient’s dependency on medications. Other mental health concerns that ketamine therapy may be able to help with include those that suffer from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). These are common mental health issues that can severely complicate a person’s ability to lead a full and productive life. Dr. Nandra pointed out that ketamine infusion is also a clinically proven therapy for chronic pain. This includes Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) which typically occurs in the hands, feet, arms, or legs after an injury takes place in one of these areas. The team leader at the center even talked about how many patients seek out ketamine infusion therapies to help them try and get over the migraine headaches that they frequently experience.

Many of those in the Chicago area that have sought help from the center have been extremely pleased with the treatments that they have received. Brian Shehan stated, “Took amazing care of me. I was in the middle of a real meltdown and they got me in immediately. Everyone on staff was compassionate and friendly. Dr. Lopez is an angel of mercy. They may have saved my life.” Tara Piryaei proclaimed, “Very caring and patient staff, they made me feel very welcomed and calm. Also, it’s a tidy and clean facility that makes me feel comfortable being there during COVID. I’ve had a wonderful experience with every staff person I have met. If you are thinking about checking this place out, I definitely recommend calling in for a consult. Great work Chicago IV Solution!”

Those that would like a free consultation to find out how the therapies offered at the IV Solution and Ketamine Centers of Chicago fibromyalgia management solutions may benefit them can contact the center by phone, email, or by filling out and sending in the form that’s found on their website. Dr. Nandra also stated that their competent team of anesthesiologists, registered nurses, and support staff performs their potentially life-changing therapies on an outpatient basis in private, confidential settings.

GISBH: KPWKM prioritises swift reunification of rescued children with families

Oct 15, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR: The immediate return of children rescued during Op Global to their parents and families is a top priority for the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM). However, its minister, Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said KPWKM must first ensure that the children’s parents and families can provide adequate and proper care. “For cases where the capability of the parents and families is clearly established, the reunification process can proceed without delay. In more complex situations, intervention programmes will be implemented to ensure the children’s and families’ best interests are safeguarded “The ultimate goal is to reunite these children with their families. However, before this can happen, several factors need to be carefully evaluated. This is not about denying anyone’s rights, but about ensuring the best interests of the children are upheld,” Nancy said during a minister’s briefing session on GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH) in the Dewan Rakyat today. As of yesterday, 560 children – 283 boys and 277 girls – had been placed in safe custody after the Social Welfare Department (JKM) obtained a temporary court custody order for two months under Section 25(2)(a) of the Child Act 2001. Meanwhile, Nancy said the Task Force Profiling Team for Op Global found that 94.3 per cent of the 558 profiled children had at least one living biological parent, while 5.7 per cent had no parents or no available information on their parents. Health assessments showed that 51.6 per cent of the children were underweight, falling below the healthy Body Mass Index (BMI), while 46.1 per cent had a normal weight and the remaining children were classified as obese, she added. “Three children have been issued persons with disabilities (PwD) cards, while 27 others display symptoms of disability,” she added. Cognitive assessments were also conducted on 385 children aged seven and above, with 71.9 per cent (277 children) showing no signs of cognitive disorders, she said. “However, 20.26 per cent (78 children) displayed moderate cognitive disorders, while 7.79 per cent (30 children) were found to have severe cognitive impairments,” Nancy said.

Malaysia should seize opportunity in global medical devices market - Chang

Oct 15, 2024

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian innovators and manufacturers should seize the opportunity to tap into the immense potential of the global medical devices industry, which is projected to reach nearly US$800 billion by 2030, says Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) Minister Chang Lih Kang. Chang noted that Malaysia had many high-quality products and innovators in the medical devices sector, with the government continuously encouraging and supporting industry players in research and development (R&D) and commercialisation efforts. “The market is vast, and we have plenty of room for success. To support R&D, of course, not limited to the medical devices industry, MOSTI offers various funding facilities, grants, matching grants, and equity where we invest in relevant startups,” he said. Chang said this to reporters after officiating the soft launch of INNOMed: Innovation Pitching Powered by PERANTIM, a key event in the International Medical Device Exhibition & Conference (IMDEC) 2024. Also present were Medical Device Authority (MDA) chief executive officer Dr P. Muralitharan, Malaysia Medical Devices Manufacturers Association (PERANTIM) president Johari Abu Kasim, and organising chairman of INNOMed, Dr Hyzan Mohd Yusof. Earlier in his speech, Chang said that under Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, the government aimed to foster synergies between the manufacturing and engineering sectors and the medical devices sector. This includes creating advanced inspection tools, solutions for imaging and endoscopy, implantable devices, and minimally invasive surgical tools. Meanwhile, Muralitharan told Bernama that, according to figures from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), Malaysia’s total trade in medical devices, valued at RM25.61 billion from January to July this year, increased by 23.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2023 (RM20.74 billion). He added that the export of medical devices was valued at RM20.15 billion, an increase of 25.7 per cent compared to RM16.02 billion in 2023. In his speech, Dr Hyzan said that medical device innovation presented an opportunity to improve healthcare while boosting the economy, with the industry projected to reach nearly US$2 billion by 2025, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors. “By focusing on innovation, we can create high-skilled jobs, reduce our dependence on imported technologies, and position Malaysia as a global leader. Last year, we spent US$5 billion on medical devices, with 95 per cent being imports. Our goal is to reduce this to 50 per cent within five years,” he said. He also emphasised that close collaboration among universities, innovators, manufacturers, clinicians, and government agencies was key to ensuring that ideas and research transitioned smoothly from laboratories to clinical applications and into the hands of healthcare providers. INNOMed, themed “Unleashing the Power of Medical Technology: Shaping the Future of Healthcare,“ is organised by the MDA and will take place from Dec 10 to 12 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).
