Nearly 300 students from a variety of health-oriented academic programs recently took part in Oakland University s fifth annual Interprofessional Education Workshop on opioid abuse. Although this year s event was held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic, it featured plenty of insights into the challenges and opportunities health professionals have to deliver the highest quality of patient care.
This year s event was focused on Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), a withdrawal syndrome that can occur in newborns exposed to certain substances, including opioids, during pregnancy. NAS develops in about 50-80% of all newborns exposed to narcotics in utero and is characterized by the withdrawal symptoms (high-pitched cry, irritability, tremors, jitteriness etc.) that occur as the drugs gradually clear from the baby s system.
The MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Long Beach Medical Center is expanding its leadership team by naming Elvis Cami, M.D. as the first medical director of advanced cardiac imaging. Advanced cardiac imaging is transforming the way heart disease is diagnosed and treated, significantly improving patient outcomes. Dr. Cami brings extensive training in cardiac imaging technology and techniques to our community, ensuring that patients receive the most accurate and timely diagnosis and the most advanced and personalized treatments for heart disease.

If you ve been thinking about applying to Oakland University this year, Undergraduate Admissions Director Shane Lewis wants you to know that there s still time to submit your application for the fall semester. We encourage any student who is considering OU to apply for free online today, Lewis said. At Oakland University, we are here for you every step of the way. And, given the current pandemic and social distancing guidelines, we have made it a priority that we are available virtually, as well.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, OU has temporarily shifted to test-optional admission, which means that SAT or ACT scores are not required for admission consideration for the fall of 2021. Students are still encouraged to send test scores, if and when they have them, for course placement or additional scholarship consideration.
Individualized exercise best for easing lower back pain, study says
By (0)
Chronic lower back pain can make the most routine tasks difficult. But a new study suggests patients can learn new, practical and less painful ways to move through individualized motor skills training, or MST.
A two-year study of nearly 150 patients found that MST appears to better relieve disability from lower back pain than a more common but less-tailored exercise regimen broadly focused on improving strength and flexibility.

She s a professor of physical therapy at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine.
