šŸ„šā˜•ļøBreakfast Simplicity! Simple is perfect!
Around 400 calories

ā¤ļøNatural Yogurt (Kefir) with 1 teaspoon organic honey and fruitā€” gives you protein, low carbs and fat and is great for gut health

ā¤ļøSalmon Platter with tomatoes and cucumbers, pickled onions and capers. More Protein and healthy Omega fish oils (healthy fats). Healthy low glycemic carbs from tomatoes and cucumbers as well as vitamins and minerals. A pinch of table salt added.

ā¤ļøThe Bagel and Cream Cheese are thrown out. The bagel will spike insulin levels and create inflammation in the vascular system and throughout the body. šŸ‘€The cream cheese is not the healthiest of fats. Get rid of both of them.

ā¤ļøTry a table spoon of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil with this.

I love simple! Simple is great. This is the perfect portion for a meal. Around 500-600 calories. Fish with around 40 grams of protein and complex carbs filled with vitamins. The fat is in the fish and olive oil in vegetables. Healthy with low glycemic index and enough protein to build muscle while keeping inflammation low!

This Movember, letā€™s raise awareness for menā€™s health, particularly focusing on prostate cancer. Prostate cancer stands as the leading cancer in men, with around 180,000 new cases diagnosed yearly in the United States. Shockingly, about 90% of men with advanced prostate cancer will experience bone metastases.

Consider a scenario where a 65-year-old male battles advanced prostate cancer leading to extensive bone metastases, notably affecting his left acetabular area. The treatment journey involved tumor removal, utilizing an extensive acetabular cage, and a long stem total hip replacement. Bone cement played a crucial role in stabilizing the cage and filling the defect.

The statistics reveal the harsh reality faced by patients with bone metastases. Only 3% of individuals diagnosed with this condition are alive after 5 years. For those developing bone metastases post-initial treatment, the 5-year survival rate hovers around 35%.

The challenges associated with bone metastases are immense, encompassing severe pain, fractures, immobility, and hypercalcemia. Treatment strategies often involve a multidisciplinary approach, including surgical interventions, hormone therapy, bisphosphonates, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Early detection and continuous monitoring play pivotal roles in managing these cases effectively, potentially reducing the need for extensive surgeries and improving outcomes for individuals facing this challenging diagnosis. Letā€™s spread awareness and support initiatives that aid in the early identification and comprehensive care of prostate cancer patients with bone metastases.

Couldnā€™t be more delighted than to run into a friend, colleague and mentor, Dr Sam Kenan who was one of NYCs top orthopedic oncologists for many, many years at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases when I first started my practice in the early 2000s. Dr. Kenan and I worked together for many years at NYU and Mount Sinai. He was always supportive and I learned a lot from him during our many weekly conferences. It was nice reminiscing about all our cases and multidisciplinary meetings with pathologists Gerry Steiner, MD, Panna Desai, MD and Luigiā€™s Abromovici as well as musculoskeletal radiologists George Nomikos, MD, Mahvash Rafii, MD, Leon Rybak, MD and Zehava Rosenberg, MD. An amazing multidisciplinary team. Serious about learning but having fun while doing it. All of us passionate about musculoskeletal tumors. Forever grateful for these early relationships and educational experiences as well as sharing if information early in my career.
