Emergency Departments Not a Major Source of Opioid Prescriptions, New Study Shows

By: Katherine Newman

Opioid prescribing has increased 471 percent from 1996 to 2012, according to a new Annals of Emergency Medicine study, “Emergency Department Contribution to the Prescription Opioid Epidemic.” But, emergency departments are not a major source of opioid prescriptions. In fact, their share of opioid prescribing is small and declining.

The share of opioids from doctor’s officebased prescriptions rose from 71 percent to 83 percent during the 17 years analyzed. The share of prescription opioids originating from emergency departments declined from 7 percent to 4 percent in that same timeframe, the study finds. The analysis was based on the nationally representative Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data, administered to 15,000 patients annually.

EDUCATION

The Revival Comedy Club in Hyde Park hosted opening night for Hyde Ya Kids Hyde Ya Park, the winter sketch comedy revue show, on Jan. 20. The show is being directed by Jonald Reyes and produced by Jon Stoops, founder of The Revival Theater.

The Revival produces four quarterly sketch comedy revue shows per year, Hyde Ya Kids Hyde Ya Park is the winter installment and addresses all of the big news items from the end of 2017 going into 2018, according to Stoops.

“We literally reference times, events, and news items from Hyde Park and the greater South Side while at the same time touching on national issues. It is intended to be hilarious, but hilarious in a sort of pointed, topical way,” said Stoops.

A major goal of the program is to shed light on the positive things happening in and around Hyde Park, according to Reyes.

He believes that often times there are negative assumptions about South Side neighborhoods and one of he hopes to prove

those assumptions wrong through this sketch comedy show.

“We start the show off immediately talking about Hyde Park because we know where we are and we know the audience that may be coming out to watch the show. We want to keep it local and also stay in the general landscape to make sure people that are coming from outside of Hyde Park know what’s happening,” said Reyes.

Writing the one-hour sketch comedy show was a collaboration between the production team and the cast. The sketches are based on personal experiences and current events and the overarching goal was to give a light hearted recap of some of the the noteworthy happenings between now and the last sketch comedy revue.

“Obviously the big commonality is making sure that we can keep it humorous and find the jokes or the sarcasm and the satire that will help lighten the load of what the heavy message may be,” said Reyes.

Hyde Ya Kids Hyde Ya Park will run every Saturday at 7:30 until the final show on Feb. 24.

Ford Joins Ex-Offenders to Announce Illinois Voter Registration Drive for ExOffenders

1

CHICAGO – Illinois State Representative La Shawn K. Ford (D-Chicago) and interested stakeholders held a press conference ‪on January 18, 2018‬, to announce a voter registration drive for ex-offenders and to call on candidates for governor for the state of Illinois to make ex-offenders and their re-entry back into society a major agenda item once they enter office as governor. Compared with many states, Illinois has a more lenient view toward ex-felons being able to get their voting rights back after they have served their prison time. While anyone incarcerated because of a felony cannot vote, voting rights are instantly reinstated upon release from the prison system. In addition, anyone who is on probation or parole is able to vote.

Stay Woke Go Vote hosted a free student voter registration rally for high school and college students on Jan. 13 at The Promontory in Hyde Park. The rally was held to get young people registered and ready to vote in the upcoming election.

Over 100 young people were registered to vote at the event, according to Charise Williams, founder of Stay Woke Go Vote.

“That was the hashtag and kind of the movement at the time, people talking about being woke. I came up with Stay Woke Go Vote and it is about people being woke to the situations of what is happening politically and the action behind it,” said Williams.

Separate Potential Measles Exposure

The First Church of Deliverance in Bronzeville was awarded a grant from Chicago’s Adopt-a-Landmark fund to complete exterior and interior renovations on the unique building.

Bronzeville Church Receives Adopt-a-Landmark Grant By: Katherine Newman

The First Church of Deliverance in Bronzeville was awarded a grant from Chicago’s Adopt-aLandmark fund to complete exterior and interior renovations on the unique building. The $228,000 grant will be used to restore the church’s terra cotta facade and interior murals and doors, according to the Chicago Department of Planning and Development (DPD).

“We applied to the City of Chicago landmark commission for the Adopt-a-Landmark grant and it’s the first one that was awarded outside of the downtown area, that’s my understanding,” said the Rev. James R. Bryson, Jr., Pastor of First Church of Deliverance.

The building was designed by Walter T. Bailey in 1939 and was named a Chicago landmark in 1994.

The exterior of the Streamline Moderne style building is covered in terra cotta tiles and the inside is known for its vibrant colors and soft curves.

“The building itself is certainly a charm of Chicago and of course this particular project was very special because it was the last major project that Walter T. Bailey did before he passed away in 1941,” said Bryson.

The inside murals were painted by Fred Jones,

an African American artist who migrated to Chicago from Atlanta in 1940 to attend the Art Institute.

In 1946, Jones was commissioned to paint two murals for the First Church of Deliverance, one behind the altar and one in the foyer, according to the International Review of African American Art. Money from the grant will be used to renovate and restore the historic murals.

Also added in 1946 were the two towers seen on the front of the building. This work was done by a different architectural firm. The towers are “as much a part of the church as anything else is because of their uniqueness,” according to Bryson The Citywide Adopt-a-Landmark Fund allocates funding generated by downtown construction projects to support the restoration of buildings that have been individually designated as a Chicago Landmark, or a contributing building in a designated landmark district, according to the Chicago DPD. “We were happy to be informed that we did get the grant,” said Bryson. “We had planned expensive renovations for the building and were seeking funding and the grant came in quite handy for us.”

The First Church of Deliverance is located at 4301 S. Wabash Ave. For information about the church, visit www.firstchurhcofdeliverance.org.

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) recently reported a second confirmed case of measles. It is important to note that these two individuals did not become infected while at O’Hare airport, but had already contracted measles. There is not a measles outbreak at O’Hare airport.

If infected, individuals could develop symptoms as late as February 1, 2018. Symptoms of measles include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes. If individuals develop symptoms of measles, IDPH recommends they call a health care provider before going to a medical office or emergency department.

Special arrangements can be made for evaluation while also protecting other patients and medical staff from possible infection.

Measles can cause serious complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). Measles is easily spread through the air when someone coughs or sneezes. People can also get sick when they come in contact with mucus or saliva from an infected person.

“It is important for everyone who can be vaccinated to get vaccinated, if they aren’t already,” said IDPH Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jennifer Layden. “Getting vaccinated not only protects you, it protects others around you who are too young to get the vaccine or can’t receive it for medical reasons. Two doses of measles vaccine are about 97 percent effective in preventing measles.”

Duckworth Demands Answers Over DHS Refusal to Release Watchdog Report Investigating Travel Ban Implementation U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) recently demanded answers over the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) refusal to release the results of an investigation by its own independent Inspector General into the Trump Administration’s implementation of its first Muslim ban. Duckworth called on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) to hold an oversight hearing on the implications of DHS’ refusal to release the report – which found the Trump Administration violated multiple court orders – and to examine the chilling effect allowing DHS, or any Federal agency, to effectively redact an entire inspector general report could have on transparency across the Federal Government.

“Allowing this Administration, and any future Administration, to block the release of information contained in an OIG report because it addresses a Federal agency’s deliberations would significantly weaken Congressional oversight, undermine transparency and render the IG Act toothless in regard to examining agency management and policy implementation decisions,” Duckworth wrote to HSGAC Chairman Ron Johnson (RWI) and Ranking Member Claire McCaskill (D-MO). “DHS delaying the public release of the final DHS OIG report examining [the travel ban’s] implementation…harms government transparency. This obstruction also prevents Congress from understanding why DHS OIG concluded CBP violated at least two separate Federal court orders and how the current nominee to be CBP Commissioner, acting CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, oversaw CBP’s implementation efforts.”

5 Tips for Healthy-Looking Skin All Winter Long (StatePoint) The cold, dry winter months are a good time to change your daily skin care regimen. The low humidity dries out skin, and without extra care, this may contribute to premature aging. “Winter is harsh on skin for many reasons,” says Dr. Shirley Madhère, a New York City plastic surgeon with a holistic practice. “We must contend with cold outdoor air, dry air from heaters indoors, friction from rough or irritating fabrics and windburn.” Dr. Madhère offers these simple proactive steps to help maintain healthy, radiant skin during the chilliest months of the year.

• Stay Hydrated. Water helps the body flush out toxins that leave skin looking dull. If you’re craving hot coffee or tea on a chilly day, be sure to consume lots of water, too, as caffeine and alcohol deplete the body of water. Moisturize with a cream or oil and then cover up to help prevent dryness -- especially feet and hands, which are prone to itching and cracking. Also try using a humidifier, but avoid hot showers that draw out moisture from the skin.

• Eat a Balanced Diet. Maintaining healthy, radiant skin starts from within. Consume fewer fats and carbohydrates and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which are natural antioxidants or anti-aging agents. Foods rich in vitamin C help fight free radicals that break down collagen, a process which causes wrinkles. Foods rich in antioxidants, such as pomegranates, are vital in maintaining healthy skin. Find fun new recipes to incorporate these key foods into your diet.

Foods can also be used externally. A milk or honey and sugar scrub, for example, is an excellent gentle exfoliator to help

remove dry dull skin cells.

• Soothe Skin the Natural Way. When temperatures drop, consider switching out lighter facial lotions with a more moisturizing and therapeutic Calendula-based cream. The Calendula officinalis plant, or Garden marigold, has been used topically for generations to heal skin irritations. “A Calendula cream can provide an all-in-one solution to soothe many everyday skin problems,” says Dr. Madhère. She recommends a line from Boiron, an 80-year old French pharmaceutical company specializing in homeopathic medicines, which includes a cream and a heavier ointment. Calendula Ointment protects and heals rougher patches such as elbows and cracked heels, chapped lips and nasal skin irritations from colds.

Both the cream and ointment are free of fragrances, dyes and parabens. To learn more, visit boironcalendula.com.

• Stay Active. Increased blood flow during exercise helps nourish skin cells. Sweating also helps flush toxins, helping skin look more radiant. Stay motivated by joining a gym or learning a winter sport. Just be sure to change out of clothes wet from snow or sweat to avoid itching, inflammation and cracking. Although nothing can replace exercise, massages can significantly help circulation, too.

• Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. If you’re relaxed and happy on the inside, it will show on the outside. Manage stress this season with activities such as yoga, pilates and meditation.

For more beauty tips, visit Dr. Madhère’s website, TheNewAesthete.com. With some extra care in winter, you can enjoy beautiful, healthy-looking skin year-round.
