TAMPA, FL, October 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) On Attention Talk Radio, show host and attention coach Jeff Copper interviews Dr. Charles Parker on the topic, "ADHD Medication Rules: Paying Attention to the Meds for Paying Attention." Dr. Parker is medical director of CorePsych, which provides both personal consultation and professional training to address today's challenges in psychiatry. He is a child and adult psychiatrist, board certified in psychiatry and certified by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for brain nuclear imaging. He has a broad range of clinical experience including psychopharmacology and SPECT neuroimaging.
"ADHD is the most frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated psychiatric condition on the planet," Dr. Parker says. "The neuroscience evidence gathered over the last ten years on communication between the brain, the endocrine system, and the immune system now encourages a complete rethinking of the many psychiatric platitudes and inadequate labels currently used for patient care." Daily, he teaches these new-science understandings to patients, the public, and medical colleagues. After years of witnessing the limitations of imprecise thinking, Dr. Parker believes the time has come to add laboratory data to psychiatric practice and to begin changing outdated thinking through understanding biomedical evidence.
His book, "Deep Recovery" (1992), used for years as a management training guide, addresses a variety of theoretical and practical difficulties present in any recovery process. His more recent eBook, "ADHD Medication Rules: Paying Attention to the Meds for Paying Attention," is a significant contribution to treatment protocols through an improved understanding of ADHD. His special report on missed diagnosis and imprecise treatment entitled, "Predictable Solutions for ADHD Meds," is available at http://www.corepsychblog.com, along with other information on Dr. Parker's books on improving psychiatric medical care.

Heavy alcohol consumption linked to lung cancer
2011-10-25
(HONOLULU, HAWAII, OCTOBER 24, 2011) — Heavy alcohol consumption may be linked to a greater risk of developing lung cancer, while higher BMI and increased consumption of black tea and fruit are associated with lower risk of the deadly disease. In three separate studies presented at CHEST 2011, the 77th annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), heavy alcohol consumption was related to increased risk of lung cancer, while specific ethnic groups, including African American men and Asian women, had slightly higher risks for lung cancer. Conversely, ...
Sildenafil may benefit children with PAH
2011-10-25
“PAH is a rare disease, and it is even more rare in children. But the disease is horrific, with the average lifespan less than one year in children if untreated; however, with appropriate treatment, 5¬year survival should be over 80 percent,” said study author Robyn Barst, MD, FCCP, Columbia University, New York, NY. “This is a landmark study – the first, and to date, the only study that has adequately evaluated a drug for the treatment of PAH in children.” PAH, characterized by narrowing of the small arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs, leads to shortness ...
Lack of sleep may lead to weight gain in teens
2011-10-25
(HONOLULU, HAWAII, OCTOBER 24, 2011) -- Sleeping less than 8 hours a night may be linked to weight gain in teens, shows a new study presented at CHEST 2011, the 77th annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP). Furthermore, obesity was linked to short sleep duration in teenage boys, with the fewest hours slept linked to the highest BMI levels.
"Sleep is food for the brain. When teens do not get enough sleep, they fall asleep in class, struggle to concentrate, look and feel stressed, get sick more often, and do not meet their obligations due to tiredness," ...

Bath salts emerging as new recreational drugs
2011-10-25
The use of bath salts as recreational drugs has greatly escalated in recent years. Researchers from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma describe an incident of a man experiencing significant agitation, paranoia, and hallucinations who also exhibited violent behavior upon his emergency department arrival.
His case is not unique. Despite disclaimers of "not for human consumption" package warnings, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, calls for bath salt poisoning incidents have skyrocketed, with 1,782 ...
Silicone injections may prove deadly according to several research studies
2011-10-25
Reports of adverse events, including death, from silicone injections for cosmetic purposes have been increasing in both medical and consumer literature. In studies presented at CHEST 2011, the 77th annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), in Honolulu, Hawaii, researchers from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, Louisiana; Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan; and Olive View-UCLA Medical Center in Sylmar, California all reported cases of near-lethal and lethal silicone use.

Detroit holds record for highest lung cancer mortality rates
2011-10-25
Compared with other cities, Detroit has one of the highest mortality rates in the United States for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Based on data from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, researchers from the McLaren Regional Medical Center in Flint, Michigan and the Mayo Clinic, in Minneapolis, Minnesota studied cancer-specific survival between Detroit and other city registries by ethnicity.
According to this new research, presented at CHEST 2011, the 77th annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians ...
Left-handed people more likely to have sleep disorder
2011-10-25
The presence of rhythmic limb movements when sleeping, which may vary in intensity, may be an indicator of periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD).
In a study of 100 patients with PMLD, presented at CHEST 2011, the 77th annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), researchers from Toledo, Ohio divided the patients into those who were right-handed and those who were left-handed.
Of the 84 right-handed and 16 left-handed patients, 69% of right-handed patients had bilateral limb movements compared with 94% of left-handed patients, irrespective of age, ...
Smoking a single cigarette may have immediate effect on young adults
2011-10-25
It is well known that smoking leads to a reduction in levels of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), which is a marker for airway inflammation.
However, there is limited knowledge about smoking-induced changes in the production and exchange of nitric oxide (NO) in young adults.
In a study of eight women and eight men with a mean age of 23 years and a smoking history of less than eight pack-years, Greek researchers found that after smoking a single cigarette, the airway tissue concentration of NO increased by 26%, and the FeNO levels decreased by 15.6%.
This reduction ...
CHEST 2011: Embargoed studies highlight new asthma research
2011-10-25
Obesity May Be a Risk Factor for Asthma
(#1119192, Tuesday, October 25, 3:00 PM Eastern)
Researchers from Montreal, QC, Canada investigated the association between airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), a measurement of asthma, and body mass index (BMI)/obesity in 17,195 adults referred for confirmation of asthma diagnosis between 1980 and 2000. Researchers found that 5,623 patients (32.7%) demonstrated AHR. Furthermore, the odds ratio of demonstrating AHR increased from 1.15 for the lowest BMI (30-34.9 kg/m2) to 1.46 for the highest (>40 kg/m2). The study findings indicate ...
