Stiffness and pain in the shoulder that won’t go away could be a sign of adhesive capsulitis, or “frozen shoulder.” While there is no quick fix, there are steps patients can take to get relief.

Frozen shoulder occurs when the capsule lining of the shoulder thickens. However, it’s often unclear why this happens.

“We used to think anytime someone would have an injury, like a rotator cuff injury or a trauma, it could induce a frozen shoulder. Now, we’re learning that adhesive capsulitis is a uniquely different form of stiffness,” said Yale Medicine orthopedic surgeon Christopher Schneble, MD, assistant professor at Yale School of Medicine. “Anything that can cause an inflammatory stimulus in the shoulder and start a cascade where inflammation starts to cause fibrosis and thickening inside of the capsule, causing the capsule to thicken, can put someone at risk to develop a frozen shoulder, but it can also develop without an explanatory event or injury."

Those with certain underlying medical conditions, such as thyroid issues or diabetes, are at greater risk.

“We know the worse someone’s diabetes is, the more poorly controlled it is, the higher the rate (or incidence) of frozen shoulder,” said Dr. Schneble. “High sugars in the blood can lead to inflammation in several different areas.”

When the Adams Neurosciences Center opens at the Saint Raphael Campus in 2027, the number of beds for neurocritical care patients at Yale New Haven Hospital will nearly quadruple. The York Street Campus Neuro Intensive Care Unit (ICU) will remain open, and the Neurosciences Center will have a 28-bed Neuro ICU and a 28-bed Neuro Intermediate Care (stepdown) Unit.

“With a larger footprint across two campuses and a new Intermediate Care Unit, we will be able to provide cutting-edge care to patients from across the state and region throughout their acute-care continuum,” said Emily Gilmore, MD, director, Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit, Yale New Haven Hospital; and clinical chief of Neurocritical Care and Emergency Neurology and professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Yale School of Medicine.

The Neurosciences Center will also expand and enhance existing capabilities in the diagnosis, monitoring and rehabilitation of neurocritical care patients.

“We’ll be able to provide the most advanced, patient-focused care in the state,” Dr. Gilmore said. “This allows us to really tailor our treatment approaches to each patient and provide personalized care.”

Child Passenger Safety Week aims to bring awareness to how parents and caregivers can keep children safe in vehicles.

Counterfeit and non-compliant car seats sold online could put children and babies in harm’s way. These seats may be more common than you might think. Since 2021, Yale New Haven Health staff members have seen an exponential increase in these non-compliant seats at time of discharge from women’s care and NICU units throughout the health system. They are continually making great catches and identifying “red flags” before the patient goes home.

The YNHH Center for Injury & Violence Prevention offers free appointments in Greenwich, New London, New Haven and Bridgeport twice a month at each location. Parents should email carseats@ynhh.org for an appointment or they may also try calling the car seat phone line at 203-200-KIDS (5437). If these locations are not convenient, staff can recommend a seat check location in their immediate or surrounding area.

Today, younger individuals – both men and women under age 50 – are being diagnosed with colon or colore**al cancer. It’s a disturbing trend that is raising more questions than answers.
“Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more young patients with a diagnosis of colon and re**al cancer, not only in our practice but across the country as well,” said Daniel Lavy, MD, a colore**al surgeon at Bridgeport Hospital and assistant professor of Surgery at Yale School of Medicine. “The ‘younger population’ includes those individuals diagnosed under the age of 50.”
Today, the lifetime risk of developing colore**al cancer is 1 in 23 for men and 1 in 25 for women, so men in this younger population have a slightly higher incidence of mortality when compared with women in the same age group.

“We don’t know exactly why, but I think it is important to note that both sexes are at significant risk of developing colon and re**al cancer,” he said.

Caring for others is an act of love and compassion – but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Caregivers experience high rates of anxiety and depression and often have a hard time attending to their own health.

Caregiver fatigue (also called caregiver burnout) is a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion that can occur when providing ongoing care to another person – often without sufficient support or rest. Learn more http://ynh.care/SY.
