                 Has your doctor said you need to start a statin stat?
When too much cholesterol is in your blood, it can accumulate in your vessels and eventually stop essential organs like your heart and brain from getting enough oxygen. Statins prevent your liver from making too much cholesterol while encouraging it to take more out of your blood 1. Your prescriber may have recommended you start a statin because you have high blood cholesterol, or other cardiovascular risk factors even if your cholesterol appears normal. This is because statins reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke by about 25% when you start, up to35% at higher doses, regardless of how much the drug lowers your cholesterol 2.

             Can a weight-loss drug really replace a healthy lifestyle?
Considering a “weight-loss drug” like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy or Rybelsus brands) o rliraglutide (Victoza or Saxenda brands)?
These drugs were actually developed for diabetes. They mimic an insulin-regulating chemical produced in our body called GLP-1. Semaglutide for example, is known to reduce heart attacks and strokes in people with diabetes 1. It was only later discovered to reduce weight and is only officially intended for this purpose when used at high doses with the Wegovy-branded product. While injectable semaglutide has been shown to reduce weight by around 11% among people with obesity in the medium-to-long term, it does not seem to produce any benefit on quality of life and only minimal, uncertain benefits on reducing major cardiovascular events and death in people with obesity 2. Unpleasant side effects 2often lead people to stop using it in the long-term. These drugs are costly and have stringent coverage criteria under most insurance plans. While they can induce weight loss, they should only be considered after a thoughtful discussion of the risks and benefits with a healthcare professional.

Is the December cold taking your breath away? Your asthma may not be as under control as you think.
Do you avoid activities because you don’t want to feel asthma symptoms? Is nighttime coughing making you tired in the day? Maybe you feel like you’ve got a handle on things with your blue salbutamol “rescue” inhaler. But did you know that if you experience symptoms requiring use of your salbutamol inhaler more than twice a week, or if you need to refill it more than twice a year, you are at increased risk of needing to go to the hospital or even dying from asthma 1,2?These are all signs that your asthma is not under control 3.
There are many reasons why you could lose control of your asthma. Changing seasons or environmental conditions can expose you to more triggers like allergens, pollutants(e.g., fire smoke), or cold air. You may have been prescribed two inhalers. Are you using both? Most people are good at taking their rescue inhaler, but few use their corticosteroid maintenance inhaler as intended 4.

Being a physiotherapist means a lifelong commitment to learning and growing. Three of PARS’ physiotherapists were involved in teaching and examining this past weekend.

Terry Woodard is an Examiner for physiotherapists through the CPA’s Orthopaedic Division and was in Edmonton examining for the Advanced Practical Exam.

Shannon Larkins, who is also an Examiner, was teaching a combined MB/ON AIM Level 3 Upper Course!

Janine Didyk spent her weekend instructing clinicians in Winnipeg on pain science and critical evaluation of literature.

We appreciate the commitment our clinicians show to their profession and their efforts to help advance physiotherapy within our wider community.
