Healthy Living Guide 2020/2021

A digest on healthy eating and healthy living.

As we transition from 2020 into 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect nearly every aspect of our lives. For many, this health crisis has created a range of unique and individual impacts—including food access issues, income disruptions, and emotional distress.

Although we do not have concrete evidence regarding specific dietary factors that can reduce risk of COVID-19, we do know that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is critical to keeping our immune system strong. Beyond immunity, research has shown that individuals following five key habits—eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, keeping a healthy body weight, not drinking too much alcohol, and not smoking— live more than a decade longer than those who don’t. Plus, maintaining these practices may not only help us live longer, but also better. Adults following these five key habits at middle-age were found to live more years free of chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

While sticking to healthy habits is often easier said than done, we created this guide with the goal of providing some tips and strategies that may help. During these particularly uncertain times, we invite you to do what you can to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and hopefully (if you’re able to try out a new recipe or exercise, or pick up a fulfilling hobby) find some enjoyment along the way.

Living a healthy lifestyle is all about choosing to make healthy choices each day. Adding more nutritious foods to your diet, making an effort to exercise throughout the week, and prioritizing your mental health are just a few of the things you can do to begin living a healthier and happier life. We’ve compiled an extensive list of tips and advice from professionals about what you can do to improve your physical, mental, and emotional health. By the end of this article, you’ll be ready to start changing your life for the better.

Starting a Healthy Lifestyle

• Create specific, actionable goals to improve your health.
• Consume portioned nutritious foods to improve your physical and mental health.
• Drink 12 cups (3.1 L) of water per day to stay properly hydrated.
• Incorporate at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week.
• Allow yourself to engage in relaxing activities, like reading or socializing.

Create specific health goals.

• Specific: I’m going to be more physically active by walking every day.
• Measurable: I’ll walk for 30 minutes to 1 hour each day for a month.
• Attainable: I have plenty of time before and after work to fit in walking. My neighborhood is also extremely walkable.
• Relevant: I spend most of my day sitting and need to consciously make an effort to get more physical activity in.
• Time-bound: I’ll maintain this routine for 1 month then reassess my needs and adjust my goals.
• Ask friends, family members, or co-workers to join you on certain goals. Having people there to support you will make working toward your goals much more fun.

• Eat whole fruits such as apples, oranges, berries, and mangos.
• Include lots of colorful vegetables in your diet like sweet potatoes, beets, spinach, and peppers.
• Choose whole grain options when you eat things like pasta, crackers, cereal, and bread.
• Eat a variety of proteins including lean meats, chicken, tofu, eggs, seafood, and beans.
• Go for low-fat or fat-free dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt.
• Include healthy oils in your food such as vegetable oil, olive oil, and oils from foods like avocados, seafood, and nuts.

Practice mindful eating.

• Avoid eating while doing other activities, such as watching TV, scrolling on your mobile device or reading.
• Take smaller bites and chew each one thoroughly before swallowing.
• Create a meal plan that includes plenty of nutritious ingredients.
• Make an effort to cook your meals yourself instead of ordering fast food.

Drink plenty of water.

• Other things that count toward your daily water intake include things like flavored waters, decaffeinated coffees and teas, and even some fruits and vegetables with high water content.
• Avoid drinking sugary drinks like sodas, juices, and sports drinks.
• Signs of dehydration in adults include less frequent urination, dark-colored urine, fatigue, dizziness, and confusion. [5] X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source

Take supplements as needed.

• The most common supplements people take are calcium (bone health), vitamin D (calcium absorption), and Vitamins C and E (antioxidants).
• Vitamin B12, which comes from meat, fish, and dairy products, keeps your nerves and blood cells healthy.
• Research suggests that fish oil supplements can promote heart health.

Exercise regularly.

• Moderate-intensity aerobic activity includes things like brisk walking, bike riding, water aerobics, dancing, and rollerblading.
• Vigorous-intensity aerobic activity includes exercises like jogging, running, swimming laps, and playing basketball or soccer.
• Along with doing aerobic workouts, do muscle-strengthening activities 2 days out of the week that work the major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
• Find yourself a workout buddy who can help keep you motivated and make exercising more fun.

Sports have always been a big part of my life. At school, I played a lot of different sports, and I was competing with other schools. I did everything: running, volleyball, basketball, soccer, Olympic-style gymnastics, and more! My history with sports gave me good concentration, focus, strength, and motivation to stay healthy.

Get enough (good) sleep.

• Sticking to a sleep schedule so that you get consistent sleep each night
• Going to sleep in a dark, quiet room that’s set at a comfortable temperature
• Avoiding large meals, caffeine, or alcohol before bed
• Exercising during the day
• Avoiding using electronics before sleeping

Allow yourself to relax.

• Setting aside time for your hobbies, such as writing or listening to music
• Reading a book
• Spending time with friends, family, or a significant other
• Going outside and spending some time in nature
• Caring for and playing with a pet

Practice mindfulness.

• Do meditation or practice yoga to help clear your mind and focus on the present moment.
• Another idea is to spend some time each day doing breathing exercises to keep yourself calm and present.
• Journaling is an activity that allows you to write down your honest thoughts and feelings and reflect on them later on.

Take a break from the news.

• If you still want to read some of the news, avoid potentially stressful topics, such as politics or world news.
• If the news tends to pop up on your social media timeline, curate your feed to get rid of any sources of negative information. For example, unfollow or block political accounts or controversial figures.

Limit your screen time.

• Constant exposure to social media can potentially cause depression, loneliness, and self-esteem issues as well.

Nurture your relationships.

• If you can’t meet up in person, still work to maintain communication by texting, calling, video chatting, or interacting over social media.
• Getting involved in your community is also a great way to form new, meaningful connections.
• For example, volunteer with a local non-profit, participate in community events, or practice your faith at a place like a local church, mosque, or synagogue to meet new people .

Practice self-love.

• Use positive affirmations to raise your self-esteem and confidence. Tell yourself things like, “I am strong,” “I am capable,” and “I am loved by many” every single day.
• Forgiving yourself for past mistakes is also an important part of loving yourself. Forgiveness can help get rid of feelings of anxiety, stress, anger, and hurt.

Limit your alcohol intake.

• Health professionals typically recommend that women consume no more than 1 alcoholic beverage daily and men consume no more than 2 alcoholic beverages daily. [17] X Trustworthy Source Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Main public health institute for the US, run by the Dept. of Health and Human Services Go to source
• 1 drink is equal to 4 ounces (118 ml) of wine, 2 ounces (59 ml) of liquor, or 12 ounces (355 ml) of beer. [18] X Trustworthy Source Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Main public health institute for the US, run by the Dept. of Health and Human Services Go to source

Quit smoking.

• Quitting smoking can certainly be difficult, and many people need more than one attempt to completely stop this habit. However, completely stopping is the quickest way to start getting your body back to a healthy state.
• If you’re having trouble quitting, talk to your doctor. They might be able to prescribe you a medication or refer you to a smoking cessation program. [20] X Trustworthy Source Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Main public health institute for the US, run by the Dept. of Health and Human Services Go to source
• Research has shown that vaping also puts people at risk for certain health complications, such as lung disease and cardiovascular disease.

Visit your doctor often.

• If you take medication for chronic conditions, schedule an appointment with your primary care physician at least once a year.
• Come prepared with any questions or concerns you may have about your health to help potentially cut down on follow-up appointments.
• Also visit your dentist. It's typically recommended to go twice a year for routine cleanings. [22] X Trustworthy Source Cleveland Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source
• Book appointments with other medical professionals if you have any specific health concerns, such as an OB/GYN, allergist, dermatologist, or endocrinologist.

Talk to a therapist.

Expert Q&A

• Once a week, indulge a little! Have a “cheat” day to enjoy your favorite junk foods. Just remember, it’s all about moderation. Thanks Helpful 13 Not Helpful 0

Breaking news, i tried the healthiest meals at fast food restaurants like mcdonald’s and chick-fil-a — here’s what i’d eat again.

Dinner at the drive-thru — it’s as American as fried apple pie.

McDonald’s and Chick-fil-A and other popular fast food joints like Taco Bell and Wendy’s are a purely part of life for a nation of on-the-go eaters — no matter how fervently some like to pretend otherwise .

And some experts say it’s totally fine to give into the inevitable — just as long as you make smart choices when you find yourself rolling to a stop at the order board.

Skim past the 1,000-calorie burgers and oil-logged fries and nuggets and you’ll find all sorts of good-for-you things to eat like grilled chicken and nutrition-packed fresh salads.

But do these virtuous vittles taste good? Or are they just taking up space on the menu?

Clutching a list of the top healthiest things to eat at a range of different fast food restaurants, compiled by a pair of registered dietitians, Eat This, Not That! reporter Samantha Boesch braved the drive-through lines at seven popular spots, trying everything from classic oatmeal breakfasts to trendy chicken sandwiches.

Her favorite find — the “too good to be true” Cantina Chicken Power Bowl at Taco Bell.

With only 490 calories, 25 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber, the Chipotle dupe registered high on the righteousness scale.

Containing seasoned rice, black beans, roast chicken, pico de gallo, guacamole and an avo ranch sauce, the professional taster called it a “super satisfying” and “filling” meal.

Other favorites included Wendy’s Apple Pecan Salad, with 440 calories, 5g of fiber and 31g of protein. Boesch loved the romaine lettuce and spring mix greens combined with crunchy apple bites — as well as the vitamins and minerals found in all of the above.

McDonald’s Fruit and Maple Oatmeal — a healthy breakfast option that’s too often overlooked — had a “surprising creaminess” and great brown sugar, cubed apple and dried fruit toppings. A “nice treat,” the taster concluded.

Chipotle’s low-carb Lifestyle Wholesome Bowl also made the grade, as did Chick-fil-A’s Grilled Chicken Sandwich, even though the writer admitted that the grilled options at the popular chain will never be quite as fun as the fried.

One item — Dunkin’s Egg and Cheese on an English Muffin — got vetoed for its almost “nonexistent” flavor. Despite containing 19 grams of protein, Boesch pointed out that if she wanted something like this for breakfast, she’d probably head to Starbucks for one of their egg sandwiches .

Of course, there’s always McDonald’s — earlier, a dietitian pulling double duty as a busy mom shared with Eat This, Not That! that she recommends a classic Egg McMuffin as a top fast food breakfast pick for those trying to stay healthy.

The classic, 310 calorie daystarter is a “solid” choice that packs 17 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber, but only 33% of your daily sodium, Kelsey Kunik told the outlet.

Fetal Position in the Womb

• Risks and Complications
• Altering Fetal Position

Most fetuses are nestled inside the uterus (womb), curled up tight. This cozy position, knees to chest, is known as the fetal position. During pregnancy, the fetal position also refers to the direction a fetus faces in the uterus and is especially important as you approach delivery.

This article reviews the fetal position and how you and your providers change the fetal position before delivery when necessary.

Illustration by Zoe Hansen for Verywell Health

Fetal Position (or Presentation) In Utero

The ideal fetal position for birth is head down, spine parallel to the pregnant person's spine, face toward the back of the pregnant person's body with the chin tucked and arms folded across the chest. However, there are variations to the fetal position in utero that can affect delivery.

• Cephalic : The fetus is head down, with its chin tucked in and facing the pregnant person's spine.
• Breech : The fetus's buttocks or feet are toward the opening of the womb.
• Transverse : The fetus is sideways, at a 90-degree angle, to the pregnant person's spine.

Healthcare providers describe the fetal position in the uterus in terms of the fetal lie, position, and presentation.

Fetal lie refers to how the fetus's spine aligns with the gestational carrier's spine. Healthcare providers describe it as:

• Longitudinal : Parallel with the pregnant person's spine
• Transverse : Perpendicular to the pregnant person's spine
• Oblique : At an angle to the pregnant person's spine

Fetal Position

"Fetal position" refers to the direction the fetus is facing. The occipital bone is at the back of the fetus's head. Healthcare providers use this bone as a point of reference when describing fetal position, as follows: It is described as:

• Occiput anterior : The occipital bone is at the front of the birthing person's body, so the fetus is facing backward.
• Occiput posterior : The occipital bone is at the back of the birthing person's body, so the fetus is facing forward.

Fetal Presentation

Fetal presentation indicates the body part closest to the birth canal, also called the presenting part. The ideal presentation is the cephalic or vertex position. This when the fetus's head is down and the chin is tucked in and facing the spine. However, in some cases, the fetus can present with one of the following body parts closest to the birth canal:

• Buttocks (also known as the breech position)
• Face or brow

Positions and Risk of Delivery Complications 

Fetuses move, kick, and roll throughout pregnancy. However, during the third trimester, as space in the uterus gets tight, most fetuses naturally reposition into the cephalic fetal position, which is ideal for delivery.

However, some settle into breech or transverse positions. You can still deliver the baby in the following positions, but it can prolong labor and increase the risk of the following complications, which can restrict the baby’s oxygen supply:

• Shoulder dystocia : Occurs when the fetus's shoulder gets stuck in your pelvis
• Head entrapment : Occurs when the fetus's head is stuck inside a partially dilated cervix
• Umbilical cord compression or prolapse : Occurs when the umbilical cord is compressed and restricts oxygen and blood flow to the baby

How to Alter Fetal Position Before Delivery

When a healthcare provider performs an ultrasound and vaginal exam near the end of pregnancy , they may find that the fetus isn't in the ideal head-down position. They can help you explore options to alter the fetal position before delivery.

At home, you can try playing music by placing headphones or a speaker at the bottom of your uterus to encourage the fetus to turn. You can also put something cool on the top of your stomach and something warm (not hot) at the bottom to promote movement.

Specific exercises and yoga poses can help relax your pelvis and uterus, creating more room for the fetus and nudging it into the head-down position. Talk with your healthcare provider before attempting these techniques:  

• Cat-cow stretch : Get on your hands and knees and alternate between arching your back upward (like a cat) and dipping it downward (like a cow). 
• Pelvic circles : Gently make circles with your pelvis while standing.
• Child’s pose : Kneel on the ground, sit back on your heels, and stretch your arms forward, lowering your chest towards the ground. You can rest your forehead on the floor or on a cushion. Rest in this pose for 10-15 minutes. 
• Pelvic tilts : Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Slowly tilt your hips upward, then release, returning to a neutral position. You can do this exercise for 10 to 20 minutes three times daily. 

Alternative options include seeing a chiropractor or acupuncturist that your healthcare provider recommends. Chiropractors align your hips and spine. Acupuncture is an Eastern medicine practice that involves inserting tiny needles in certain areas to balance your body’s energy. 

At the Hospital 

At the hospital, your provider may try an external cephalic version (ECV), in which they apply pressure to your belly to turn the fetus's head down.

Providers typically perform ECVs around 37 to 39 weeks' gestation, when the fetal size and the amount of amniotic fluid are ideal. An ECV is generally safe, but there are some risks, including fetal distress and preterm labor (rare).

The success rate of an ECV is about 60%. If an ECV is unsuccessful, your provider may recommend a surgical delivery known as a cesarean section (C-section). Before this surgical procedure, you will receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine), and your provider will make incisions in your belly to deliver the baby.

The fetal position indicates fetal alignment and presentation in the uterus. The cephalic (head-down) position is ideal for delivery. While it is possible to vaginally deliver a baby in other fetal positions, the risk of complications increases. There are ways to try to move the fetus at home or in the hospital; however, discuss these options with a healthcare provider before trying them at home.

When you 'stop running from it' and know you’ve outgrown your friend group

Yes, romantic relationships are great. But there's something special about long-term friendships – the giggle-worthy gossip, the inside jokes, the unmatched comfort level built on years of trust. But what happens when your friendship changes, and what once came so easy shifts into unanswered texts, missed phone calls and nary a like on social media?

The TikTok trend where people have decided to " stop running from it " refers to those who return from a social setting with friends, only to realize that they've outgrown their relationships  – and perhaps avoided their own emotions along the way.

If this sounds like you, friendship experts don't want you to worry. It's normal for friendships to evolve over time. Just keep an eye out for some warning signs it might be time to hit pause on a friendship (or in some cases, say goodbye for good).

"Like any relationship, friendships are a two-way street," says Carla Marie Manly , host of podcast "Imperfect Love" and author of "The Joy of Imperfect Love." "If both people aren’t invested in making the relationship viable in the long run, the friendship will falter over time."

How to tell if your friendship is on the rocks

Sometimes outgrowing a friendship is simple: You just don't want to see them. "A major sign of outgrowing a friendship is a lack of interest in meeting up with a friend," Manly says. "This apathy can even shift over time into overt avoidance." Maybe this friend drains your energy if you're doing all the outreach, or maybe they just aren't as fun to be around anymore. Or you've discovered you have very little in common anymore.

Expect this to happen with people you've known a long time. Some people will stagnate in their lives and expect the same of their friendships. Others will grow and likely want something more.

You might even harbor a lot of feelings for someone but still not want to devote that much time to them, or you just don't have any to give. That's OK. "If you find yourself losing interest, you still care for this person, but aren't as interested in those updates, because it doesn't feel relevant to where you are, and you feel the engagement drop in that way, that could be a sign as well," says Danielle Bayard Jackson , friendship educator and author of "Fighting for our Friendships."

It could also be simple on the other end of the spectrum, where you're butting heads with your friend or sitting with that walking-on-eggshells feeling. Spoiler alert: The shells will crack.

"This is an indicator that the friendship is misaligned and you may have outgrown it," says T.M. Robinson-Mosley , counseling psychologist, "especially if you look at disagreements that devolve into personal attacks."

Just because it's over doesn't mean you failed

Judging a friendship by how long it lasted, or the fact it didn't last forever, is not necessarily the best metric to use when thinking about your friends. Is a successful friendship one that never ends? Or one where you two really loved each other during the time you were together?

Experts say friendship circles twist and turn over time, too. One study even found that we tend to replace half our friends every seven years .

"Our availability changes , the things that brought us together change. So you almost have to anticipate that happening," Jackson says.

Why might this occur? Think of it in terms of life stages. Did you meet friends in college? At work? A parenting class? Friendship changes happen frequently when people reach their mid-20s and their priorities take them in all kinds of directions – especially if and when the alcohol fog of your early 20s wears off.

Is your friendship worth saving?

Generally, as long as there hasn't been some kind of toxic behavior or abuse , it's not a bad idea to leave that friendship door ajar.

You may be tempted to only see a black-and-white approach to friendship via your TikTok algorithm: Someone "wronged" you and therefore you need to set a "boundary." Don't let it deter you from friendship altogether.

Why might some reach that conclusion, though? "I wonder if sometimes we want to put such a finality to it, because it gives us a sense of control," Jackson says.

But if leaving a friendship means being more yourself, it's likely worth the breakup .

7 powerful ways to avoid anxiety for public speaking and presentations

• By Health IQ digital
• Aug 09, 2024

Public speaking is a common source of anxiety for many people. The thought of standing in front of a crowd, delivering a presentatin and being the center of attention can be overwhelming. This fear can hold people back from reaching their full potential in both personal and professional settings. However, the good news is that there are several effective strategies to manage and reduce this anxiety. By understanding and implementing these techniques, you can transform your fear into confidence and become a more effective speaker.

1. Understand the root cause of your anxiety

Anxiety about public speaking often stems from a fear of judgment or making mistakes in front of others. This fear is deeply rooted in the human desire to be accepted and respected by our peers. Recognizing that this fear is a natural response can be the first step in overcoming it. Reflect on what specifically triggers your anxiety. Is it the fear of forgetting your words, being judged or the anticipation of a negative reaction? By identifying the exact cause, you can take targeted steps to address it.

Moreover, understanding that everyone experiences some level of anxiety before speaking in public can be reassuring. Even seasoned speakers feel nervous; the difference is that they’ve learned how to manage it effectively. This knowledge can help you approach your anxiety with compassion and self-awareness, rather than letting it control you.

2. Prepare thoroughly and rehearse regularly

One of the most effective ways to combat anxiety is through thorough preparation. Knowing your material inside and out will give you a sense of control and reduce the fear of the unknown. Start by organizing your content logically, ensuring that your main points flow naturally from one to the next. Use visual aids like slides or handouts to reinforce your message and keep your audience engaged.

Rehearsal is key to building confidence. Practice your speech multiple times in a variety of settings — alone, in front of a mirror and in front of a small, supportive audience. This will help you become more familiar with your content and delivery, making it easier to stay on track during the actual presentation. Additionally, rehearsing in different environments can help you adapt to various settings, reducing the likelihood of being thrown off by unexpected changes.

3. Focus on your breathing and relaxation techniques

Anxiety often manifests physically through symptoms like rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath and muscle tension. Learning to control your breathing can significantly reduce these symptoms. Practice deep breathing exercises, such as inhaling slowly through your nose, holding your breath for a few seconds and exhaling slowly through your mouth. This simple technique can help calm your nerves and center your thoughts before and during your presentation.

Progressive muscle relaxation is another useful tool. This involves tensing and then slowly releasing each muscle group in your body, starting from your toes and working your way up to your head. This exercise not only helps reduce physical tension but also refocuses your mind, making it easier to concentrate on your presentation rather than your anxiety.

4. Visualize success and use positive affirmations

Visualization is a powerful technique that can help you manage public speaking anxiety. Before your presentation, take a few moments to imagine yourself speaking confidently, engaging with your audience and delivering your message effectively. Picture the audience reacting positively — nodding in agreement, smiling and applauding. This mental rehearsal can boost your confidence and prepare your mind for a successful outcome.

In addition to visualization, use positive affirmations to counter negative thoughts. Replace self-doubt with empowering statements like, “I am well-prepared and capable of delivering this presentation,” or “My audience is interested in what I have to say.” Repeating these affirmations can help reframe your mindset and reduce anxiety.

5. Engage with your audience early on

Connecting with your audience from the start can help reduce your anxiety. Begin your presentation with a smile, make eye contact and greet your audience warmly. You can also ask a question or share a relatable story to create an immediate connection. This interaction not only breaks the ice but also shifts your focus from your anxiety to the needs and interests of your audience.

As you speak, continue to engage with your audience by making eye contact with different individuals, pausing to gauge their reactions and adjusting your delivery based on their feedback. This dynamic interaction can make you feel more connected and less isolated, reducing the pressure and anxiety associated with public speaking.

6. Accept imperfection and embrace vulnerability

One of the biggest sources of anxiety in public speaking is the fear of making mistakes. However, it’s important to remember that no one expects you to be perfect. Even the most experienced speakers make errors, and it’s how you handle these moments that truly matters. Embrace the possibility of imperfection and view it as an opportunity to connect with your audience on a human level.

If you stumble over a word or forget a point, don’t panic. Take a deep breath, acknowledge the mistake with grace and move on. Your audience is likely to be forgiving, and your ability to recover smoothly will leave a lasting positive impression. By accepting vulnerability and letting go of the need for perfection, you can reduce the pressure on yourself and speak more naturally.

7. Reflect and learn from each experience

After each public speaking engagement, take time to reflect on what went well and what could be improved. This reflection process is crucial for continuous improvement and helps you build on your strengths while addressing areas of concern. Consider recording your presentation if possible, so you can review your performance and identify specific moments where anxiety may have affected your delivery.

Use this feedback to adjust your preparation and strategies for future presentations. Over time, you’ll notice that your confidence grows, and your anxiety decreases with each experience. Remember, public speaking is a skill that improves with practice, and each opportunity is a chance to learn and grow.

Transforming anxiety into confidence

Public speaking doesn’t have to be a source of dread. By understanding the root causes of your anxiety, preparing thoroughly and using techniques like visualization, relaxation and audience engagement, you can transform your fear into confidence. Accepting imperfection and learning from each experience will further empower you to become a more effective and confident speaker.

Remember, the journey to overcoming public speaking anxiety is a personal one, and it’s okay to take small steps toward improvement. With time, practice and the right strategies, you can conquer your fear and use your voice to make a meaningful impact in any setting. Embrace the challenge, trust in your abilities and know that you have the power to speak with confidence and clarity .

Stomatitis in Cats: Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

Nils Jacobi/iStock / Getty Images Plus via Getty Images

In This Article

What is stomatitis in cats.

Stomatitis in cats is a complex, painful , and frustrating disease that causes severe inflammation of the entire mouth, including the gingiva (gum tissue around the teeth) and mucous membranes.

Stomatitis in cats—often called feline chronic gingivo-stomatitis (FCGS) by veterinary dentists —affects up to 10% of cats.

Gingivitis vs. Stomatitis in Cats

Gingivitis only affects the gingiva—or gumline—where the tooth meets the mucus membrane of the gums.

Stomatitis in cats is a much more severe form of inflammation in the mouth and involves more than just the gingiva.

Stomatitis can affect the gums, lips, tongue, the roof and the floor of a cat’s mouth.

While most cases of gingivitis in cats are tolerated, stomatitis is painful and debilitating.

Symptoms of Stomatitis in Cats

The first symptom of stomatitis in cats is a foul odor coming from your cat’s mouth .

This may be accompanied by excessive salivation/drooling , or you may notice that your cat is not grooming themselves as much which can lead to matted fur .  

You might also see your cat dropping food from their mouth or crying out while eating. Some cats become so painful they become hesitant to eat and may avoid food to the point that they start losing weight .

What Causes Stomatitis in Cats?

The cause of stomatitis in cats is unknown.

Veterinarians do know that there is an abnormal immune system response that leads to stomatitis.

It’s most likely an exaggerated response to a virus or bacteria and plaque on the teeth , but the exact cause of that response remains a mystery.

How Vets Diagnose Stomatitis in Cats

Veterinarians diagnose stomatitis in cats primarily by doing a thorough oral examination.

Severe inflammation of the gums along with severe inflammation of the inside of the cheeks and the back of the mouth is usually diagnostic for stomatitis.

Systemic metabolic disease should be ruled out with baseline blood work and urine testing .

Your vet will also want to do a viral screening for conditions like feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) which contribute to stomatitis in cats.

Depending on how severe your cat’s stomatitis is, if the lesion is in a specific area, a biopsy might be needed to rule out a local infection or even oral cancer .

Many patients also experience  tooth resorption  and inflammation of the bone around the teeth (periodontitis) at the same time as evident on dental X-rays.

Stomatitis in Cats Treatment

Successful treatment of stomatitis in cats requires minimizing bacteria in the cat’s mouth as much as possible.

This is rarely achieved through at-home dental care or anesthetized cleanings alone. Even a small number of bacteria or plaque can be seen in cats with severe stomatitis.

In fact, cats with stomatitis often have severe inflammation that does not resolve or quickly returns after a thorough dental cleaning by their veterinarian.

The current recommended treatment is partial or full-mouth tooth extraction surgery .

While this may seem to be a drastic measure, it’s currently the best way to achieve substantial and long-term comfort for cats with stomatitis.

This can be an extensive surgery, and your veterinarian may recommend a consultation with or referral to an American Veterinary Dental College specialist (a veterinary dentist).

Recovery and Management of Stomatitis in Cats

Studies have shown that 90% of cats that undergo partial, or full-mouth tooth extractions have shown complete resolution of their stomatitis symptoms. 

For cats that eat hard kibble , they should be transitioned to canned food before surgery with a plan to remain on a softened diet for at least two to three weeks post-op.

For cats that are hesitant to eat during the first few days  after surgery , your veterinarian can prescribe an appetite stimulant . Your veterinarian will also provide medications for you to take home for post-surgical pain and inflammation.

Once the gum tissue has healed, many cats are willing and able to eat kibble again .

Pet parents often see quick improvement in their cat’s attitude, appetite, and quality of life once their mouth is free from the pain and inflammation of stomatitis.

Prevention of Stomatitis in Cats

In most cases, stomatitis in cats is difficult to prevent because the exact cause is unknown.

The most effective way to provide your cat with the best oral health is with routine cleanings.

You’ll need to brush your cat’s teeth daily with a cat-specific toothpaste at home and bring your fur baby in for regular dental cleanings with their veterinarian.

This can help to prevent excessive bacterial build up that may contribute to the development of stomatitis in some cats.

There are also special dental diets—such as Hill’s® Science Diet Oral Care —that help reduce plaque and tarter buildup. These diets also provide nutrients like antioxidants which help to support a healthy immune system.

Stomatitis in Cats FAQs

Can you treat stomatitis in cats at home.

Unfortunately, once stomatitis in cats develops it likely can’t be treated at home.

Is stomatitis contagious in cats?

Most cases of stomatitis in cats are not contagious since it’s an alteration to a cat’s individual immune system.

In some cases—where a virus is involved in the development of stomatitis—it can be contagious from one cat to another.

Is stomatitis in cats deadly?

Severe cases of stomatitis in cats can be deadly especially if a cat is in extreme pain.

Pain in cats often leads to anorexia, which can cause liver failure in cats. This form of liver disease , hepatic lipidosis, is fatal in most cases even with aggressive treatment.

Stomatitis in cats can also be caused by certain viruses which can be fatal if not treated aggressively early on.

Unpacking complexity in addressing the contribution of trauma to women’s ill health: a qualitative study of perspectives from general practice

Background There is an intricate relationship between the mind and the body in experiences of health and wellbeing. This can result in complexity of both symptom presentation and experience. Although the contribution of life trauma to illness experience is well described, this is not always fully recognised or addressed in healthcare encounters. Negotiating effective and acceptable trauma-informed conversations can be difficult for clinicians and patients.

Aim To explore the experience of primary care practitioners caring for women through a trauma-informed care lens.

Design and setting Qualitative study in the general practice setting of England, with reflections from representatives of a group with lived experience of trauma.

Method This was a secondary thematic analysis of 46 qualitative interviews conducted online/by telephone to explore primary care practitioners’ experiences of supporting women’s health needs in general practice, alongside consultation with representatives of a lived-experience group to contextualise the findings.

Results Four themes were constructed: ‘you prioritise physical symptoms because you don’t want to miss something’; you do not want to alienate people by saying the wrong thing; the system needs to support trauma-informed care; and delivering trauma-informed care takes work that can have an impact on practitioners.

Conclusion Primary care practitioners are aware of the difficulties in discussing the interface between trauma and illness with patients, and request support and guidance in how to negotiate this supportively. Lack of support for practitioners moves the focus of trauma-informed care from a whole-systems approach towards individual clinician–patient interactions.

• Introduction

As evident in the Women’s Health Strategy for England 1 and its underlying public consultation, 2 women’s health is complex and embedded in historical dismissal and stigma. There is an intricate relationship between the mind and the body in experiences of health and wellbeing. One facet of this complexity includes the possible contribution of trauma to the woman’s illness experience. The physical response to, and pathways of bodily damage as a result of, the hormonal environment of chronic stress has revealed links between unresolved emotional distress and autoimmune conditions. 3 Trauma has an impact on people in different ways. Although some people make positive adjustments, others experience mental ill health and/or develop physical symptoms from emotional distress. 4 This can result in complexity both in symptom presentation and health experience.

Trauma can result from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as harmful or life threatening and can include past experiences of care (including in maternity), adverse childhood events (ACEs), and other life experiences as an adult. ACEs are stressful or traumatic events that occur specifically during childhood or adolescence 5 and can include: abuse (physical, emotional, and sexual); neglect; living in a household with domestic violence, experience of illness, or bereavement. 6 In a systematic review and meta-analysis of 96 studies of adult health behaviours, the risk of poorer health outcomes (including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and mental ill health) increased with the number of ACEs. 4 Experiences of trauma at any stage in life can cause lasting adverse effects on health. 3 In the UK, women are disproportionally affected by violence (twice as likely as men to experience domestic violence), 7 , 8 trauma, 9 , 10 and ill health, 11 , 12 highlighting the potential complexity of women’s health presentation.

Although the contribution of life trauma to illness experience is well described, primary care professionals do not always fully address it. Potential reasons include clinician concerns about missing a serious illness in a complex presentation or about alienating or upsetting the patient. 11 Addressing trauma often necessitates introducing conversations about the link between mind and body, which can be difficult to navigate. Significant challenges and uncertainties reside in how best to manage the link between mind and body in communication with patients and in healthcare pathways. Qualitative research indicates that primary care professionals can find it challenging to navigate this mind–body presentation. Suggestions from primary care professionals that physical symptoms are amplified by (or a manifestation of) distress can be experienced as dismissal and invalidation by patients. 13 – 15 Attempts to bridge these health needs are therefore not always experienced as supportive. This illustrates the potential challenges of negotiating trauma-informed conversations in ways that are experienced as acceptable and supportive by patients.

How this fits in

Trauma-informed care is a framework founded on five core practices: safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. These can be used to address the impact of trauma on patients and healthcare professionals and prevent re-traumatisation in healthcare services. 16 However, definitions, guidance, practitioner training, delivery, and support for trauma-informed approaches vary between healthcare settings according to local-level funding priorities with implementation described as disjointed. 16 Little is known about how healthcare professionals experience trying to effectively deliver trauma-informed care. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of primary care practitioners caring for women through a trauma-informed care lens.

This study was a secondary analysis of qualitative interview data gathered to explore primary care practitioners’ experiences of supporting women’s health needs in primary care. Between March and September 2022, we interviewed a sample of 46 primary care practitioners across England (GPs n = 31, nurses n = 9, other professionals n = 6, with an average of 12 years’ experience [1 to 30 years], 41/46 female), ensuring representation from practices working in areas of deprivation where health inequalities and multimorbidity are significant challenges. Detailed methods and participant characteristics of the parent study are reported elsewhere. 17

The original topic guide was developed by three authors in response to a perceived gap in knowledge about women’s health care in primary care and commissioned by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Policy Research Programme. Data were collected through single-episode, one-to-one interviews with fully informed consent. They were conducted virtually online or by telephone by two experienced qualitative researchers and audio-recorded. These were transcribed verbatim, checked against the original recording, and thematically analysed.

The team then undertook a focused enquiry using secondary thematic analysis of the dataset to explore primary care professionals’ navigation of women’s experiences of distress as a contribution to their symptoms. 18 We recoded the transcripts line-by-line where distress, emotional, or psychological impact or contribution to health experience was mentioned. We discussed the constructed data categories within the research team to create interpretive themes. We reflected on these themes with representatives of three charities supporting women with significant experience of historical and contemporary trauma to add a lived-experience perspective to the data.

Four themes were constructed from the data:

‘you prioritise physical symptoms because you don’t want to miss something’;

you do not want to alienate people by saying the wrong thing;

the system needs to support trauma-informed care; and

delivering trauma-informed care takes work that can have an impact on practitioners.

Theme 1: ‘you prioritise physical symptoms because you don’t want to miss something’ (PC30, female [F], GP for 5 years)

Practitioners described women’s health consultations as often complex and difficult to manage in a single, constrained time slot. A significant concern was the fear of missing a physical condition requiring specific or prompt treatment as many women’s health complaints could present with similar but vague symptomatology and could suggest multiple possible diagnoses. Some participants reflected that a challenge of navigating diagnostic processes, by first excluding potential causes that need specific interventions such as cancer, meant the contribution of distress to physical symptoms was pushed down the list of considerations: ‘It’s definitely sort of a symptom sieve to start with, and to adequately hear your patient and really hear them and really listen to what they’re saying […] There are many things that are difficult to do in ten minutes, but I … women’s health is particularly difficult.’ (PC17, F, advanced nurse practitioner [ANP] for more than 15 years) ‘They’re often quite vague symptoms: bloating, things like that, so you either have a very low index of suspicion and you’re seeing ca-125s [blood test that may indicate ovarian cancer] and you’re scanning everybody, or things get missed, and [sighs] yeah, it can be very challenging and obviously if you miss something like that it’s devastating for everybody involved, but it’s very difficult.’ (PC12, F, GP for more than 15 years)

Participants described how investigation pathways move through a hierarchy of potential causes and may involve a stepped process that did not always yield a confirmatory or unifying diagnosis. This meant that the participants had to manage patients’ expectations of diagnosis throughout this process.

Theme 2: you do not want to alienate people by saying the wrong thing

Some felt that a cultural shift was needed for the wider healthcare system to acknowledge the mind–body interplay as a legitimate expression of distress, to support practitioners to discuss this with their patients along their care pathway, and to provide timely access to psychological support services: ‘Perhaps some of training for staff would be about how you talk about the connection between your brain and your body […] without sounding dismissive and actually, training individuals to become more sensitive to these types of, conversations.’ (PC46, male [M], GP for 15 years)

However, some felt that patients were not always receptive to recognising the contribution of emotions or past experiences to physical symptoms, the idea of an integral link between mind and body, or the offer of psychological support to cope with the distress of physical symptoms. Some participants were worried about alienating women who might interpret this suggestion as devaluing or de-legitimising their symptom experience, and were therefore sometimes unsure when or how to navigate this: ‘I don’t think many patients like it when we end up going down that route when it comes to pain, any pain, not just pelvic pain in itself, because they want a diagnosis of some form or another, whatever it’s called, rather than being given some antidepressants or some counselling.’ (PC18, F, GP for 10 years)

Participants described the essential first step to be validation of the woman’s experience, emphasising understanding and genuine belief in the symptoms as ‘real’ (although perhaps currently unexplained) before exploring the impact of trauma or life stress in its aetiology: ‘It’s just spending the time with them and actually acknowledging, yes the pain is real, but are we not just saying you know, “you’ve got pain and we can’t find any cause for it”, “the pain is actually real”, and what we can do is maybe go down the route of psychological sort of therapy for that, that might be the best route of managing it.’ (PC18, F, GP for 10 years) ‘The first lady I was talking about absolutely wasn’t having any of it […] I got her some interesting resources […] and I just mis-pitched it […] the fact that this is her body feeling overwhelmed and feeling overwhelmed with the difficulties in her life and how to explain that in a way that seems scientific … it’s quite difficult, isn’t it?’ (PC14, F, GP for 1 year)

Healthcare professionals were aware and worried that exploring the contribution of trauma or distress in the physical symptom experience and that physical and emotional symptoms can coexist was not always well received. Restricted time in consultations highlighted the need for resources that could support this mind–body understanding in a positive and affirming way for the patient: ‘Often there is something organic, or something organic that has started it off, but then it often becomes this kind of complex combination of physical and then also psychological symptoms together, and I think kind of having resources to explain how psychological symptoms can impact pelvic pain […] I think kind of having good resources to try and back up what I’m saying would be quite helpful.’ (PC21, F, GP for more than 20 years)

Participants described how the net effect of these considerations could result in practitioners (inadvertently) avoiding discussion of the contribution of distress in the illness presentation: ‘ […] I think you can shut it down easily and not get emotionally involved, but you do not actually solve any of the issues unless they are straight up, simple, physical problems that you can just treat, but for the most part it doesn’t work very well.’ (PC30, F, GP for 5 years)

Participants recognised the importance of a trauma-informed approach in the complex and holistic care needs of women’s health. This extended to considerations about trauma-informed approaches to physical examination and how this could be enabled. Some highlighted the unique position of the primary care practitioner, in a potentially protracted diagnostic or support pathway, to communicate the contribution of distress in a supportive and helpful way to their patients.

Theme 3: the system needs to support trauma-informed care

Participants described four systemic challenges to the provision of trauma-informed care:

inadequate time allocated for appointments;

waiting times for specialist practitioner review in secondary care;

limited access to services; and

providing care for women returning from secondary care without a unifying diagnosis.

The challenges of time were frequently reported by participants: ‘I already know that I can’t do everything for you [the patient] in ten minutes, which isn’t always like a nice feeling for me, because we want to be able to help and you know do that within the time … who knows when they’ll be able to get an appointment again or you don’t want it to be frustrating for them, but equally you don’t want to rush yourself.’ (PC35, F, GP for less than 6 months) ‘They come back two months later and say, “I’ve still … I’m still … still haven’t seen the hospital”, and that there’s a certain amount of workload in primary care just because of … just because secondary care can’t take that on.’ (PC23, M, GP for more than 20 years)

In some areas they reported limited access to services such as counselling or psychological support services and community gynaecology because of local funding models and the challenges of providing care for women returning from secondary care without a unifying diagnosis. This often led to practitioners ‘holding the distress’ of the woman (see theme 4). Despite the challenges identified, participants described how they worked within the system constraints to offer the best service for their patients, for example, planning activities across multiple appointments: ‘In fifteen minutes it’s quite challenging, or if I’m trying to examine somebody […] that’s difficult, that’s when I sometimes ask them […] to come back for the examination so that I can do all the other things that are needed.’ (PC25, F, GP for 25 years)

Participants spoke of the structural supports that were in place that worked well in their efforts to deliver trauma-informed care, such as support networks, the ‘advice and guidance’ contact service to access secondary care (a system where GPs can access specialist advice before or instead of referral), and working with social prescribers (link workers who help patients to access non-medical support services in their community): ‘I mean advice and guidance [are] probably helpful I think, you write and you say, “What do I do?” and they tell you, and you then say to the patient, “this is what the specialist has said”, and that’s great, and that’s a really good idea.’ (PC23, M, GP for more than 20 years) ‘[Access to a social prescriber] is definitely making a difference; I don’t know what we did before to be quite honest. I don’t know what we would do because it’s just improved the quality of life for our patients, and it’s just helped us cope because you know we often see mental health problems, social problems, and with such a limited time constraint, limited resources, now that investment has been put in, it is definitely making a difference.’ (PC16, F, ANP for more than 18 years)

Theme 4: delivering trauma-informed care takes work and can have an impact on practitioners

Taking a trauma-informed approach relied heavily on the practitioner–patient relationship and some felt that the impact on practitioners was not always accounted for. The work involved in taking a trauma-informed approach to care had an impact on clinician workload. When they were able to navigate this challenge participants reported job satisfaction that was a positive impact. Conversely, when participants were unable to deliver the care they aspired to and believed they should, this had a negative impact. Protracted routes to diagnosis (or not getting a diagnosis), exacerbated by long waits to access specialist review in secondary care, left participants ‘holding the distress’ of women managing symptoms while they waited for a management plan: ‘I mean typically what happens is when a referral is done, the patient is waiting three, four, five months to be seen sometimes, but the patient’s still got those symptoms, so what do they do?’ (PC18, F, GP for 10 years) ‘So pain is complex. I think every pain service in the country is poorly funded and poorly accessible […] The challenge we have is these patients are constantly accessing us and, you know, I don’t want to label anything but they do end up becoming frequent attenders, which you know … and all we are is becoming a holding person in all of this.’ (PC46, M, GP for 15 years)

This increased the pressure on primary care practitioners who were operating without adequate system support. Although participants knew that managing uncertainty was integral to the role of the primary care practitioner, holding distress added to the challenge of appropriately broaching or exploring the mind–body link. Participants described feeling overwhelmed and personally affected by managing the expectations of patients held in limbo and holding their distress: ‘Women who have complex, like intractable symptoms that have been investigated and no one’s really come up with anything […] it’s more psycho-social input that’s needed, and they’ve seen a gynaecologist and they’re still struggling and there’s not really a solution, and so they’re … they’re the ones who you think, “oh my gosh, I … I’m … I’m not sure what I can offer … offer you”.’ (PC34, F, GP for 15 years) ‘I mean women’s health is a prime one, it causes so much anxiety, stress, impact on the family, and I think with the complexities around the referral pathways and who’s doing what, which has been one of my biggest stresses, people can fall through the gaps very easily.’ (PC26, F, GP for 5 years)

Participants sought support from colleagues within their daily work routines to reflect on clinical questions or patients with complex cases. However, some felt that there were limited support services for practitioners’ mental wellbeing in a more formalised and structured way: ‘We have our annual appraisal but that is very much to make sure that we’re not total lunatics […] but other than that […] they do support us, but they … you know it’s once a year, there’s no capacity to debrief on individual challenging cases or anything like that, it’s very much to check-in that we are sort of on the rails.’ (PC30, F, GP for 5 years)

Participants described how not being able to deliver high-quality, holistic care because of structural constraints was unsatisfying and challenging: ‘I was so unhappy in my previous job really, I’d say we still had support, but the patients were a lot more demanding and it just comes with that, you know a lot more child protection issues safeguarding and it … you know, it’s just a really challenging job and that, and not necessary work satisfying either.’ (PC04, F, GP for 3 years)

Lack of personal and systems support for practitioners moves the focus of trauma-informed care from a whole-systems approach to the clinician–patient interaction.

Our findings indicate that clinicians are aware of the contribution of trauma and distress to the presentation of physical symptomatology within women’s health consultations but that conversations about this could be difficult. Some participants felt confident and willing to discuss the role of distress in symptom presentation; others felt that these conversations were difficult and sometimes avoided the topic. Constraints such as limited time in consultations and the training and resources to facilitate discussions about the minded-body (the interconnection of physical and emotional health) and the role of trauma and distress could mean that clinicians did not always talk to patients about the impact of distress. This was exacerbated by system constraints such as limited support services for referral. Practitioners described building support mechanisms for themselves at work through debrief and clinical conversations with colleagues but told us that there were no formal supervision or support services routinely available for practitioners. The heavy work and emotional labour within an unsupportive system was described as contributing to practitioner frustration and burnout. Although patient relationships were framed within a trauma-informed lens, the organisational configuration was not always supportive to a trauma-informed approach.

Strengths and limitations

The use of secondary analysis has allowed us to conduct a focused analysis on a rich dataset of primary care professionals’ interviews. As this was done within the project timeline by the original research team, potential ethical concerns about the impact of the sociopolitical context that often accompanies secondary analysis were mitigated. 18 We were able to minimise participant burden and engage with a targeted group of women for whom trauma-informed care and its delivery has an immediate impact.

The principal limitation of our study is the restrictions offered by the original interview scope and guiding questions of the parent study that focused on women’s health. We are unable to report on experience in other areas of health care or by gender of care provider as this is unexplored. Gender was recorded; there were four male and 42 female responders. We purposively selected practitioners with an interest in women’s health rather than sampling an equally gender-split sample to derive patterns of experience that could be attributed to gender issues.

Comparison with existing literature

The link between trauma and ill health is well discussed in the literature, as are the principles of trauma-informed care. However, there appears to be little evidence of the clinician’s experience in discussing the interface between trauma and complexity with patients. The complexity of women’s health experiences challenges a dualistic approach to care and could respond better to the continuity model of primary care. 19 Practitioners in our data actively enacted the principles of trauma-informed care (such as safety, trustworthiness, and collaboration) in their personal practice with women. 16 However, the structural configuration of primary care services could complicate these care aspirations including when resources were limited or services were not flexible enough to support practitioner autonomy, which could hinder opportunities for timely care or follow-up. This could erode the practitioner’s efforts to deliver trauma-informed care, with potential consequences for both patients and clinicians. Such structural constraints in a climate of overwork are powerful sources of moral distress and burnout in studies of nurses, midwives, and doctors. 20 – 23 The risk of exposing practitioners to such moral distress can lead to the experience of vicarious trauma and reduced job satisfaction as they navigate the challenge of exploring the minded-body link with patients on their illness journey. 24 , 25 Primary care practitioners held women’s distress while they waited for specific therapies or supports, and yet the practitioners did not have adequate formal support systems to take care of their own wellbeing. This finding resonates with Pereira Gray et al , 25 who suggest that the UK shortage of GPs, erosion of continuity of care, sustained increase of remote consultation methods, and lack of structural support in the system may exacerbate challenges faced by practitioners to provide high-quality care. 26 – 28

Implications for research and practice

Our findings suggest that moving towards a trauma-informed systems-level approach would support integration of psychological support within multiple care pathways. A coordinated systems approach should support an integrated and holistic approach rather than encouraging a dichotomising split between physical or psychological services. Our findings suggest that this model would also support the wellbeing of practitioners delivering care and may have an impact on staff retention, making this a critical consideration at all system and service levels from individuals to practices to funders and commissioners. 28 , 29 However, less is known about how to enact or enable trauma-informed care at a systems level. 16 More research is needed about how to implement and support equitable, proportionate trauma-informed care in practice. This includes learning how to actively nurture equitable care within services, practices, and within primary care networks. At a funding and commissioning level, autonomy and equitable work need to be valued and enabled, and this requires policy attention; simplistic metrics of care such as numbers seen or a narrow focus on numerically quantifiable access will not capture either the impact on patients or practitioners. 28 Nor will this capture the contacts and appointments that did not happen. Furthermore, critical to effective equitable care is that practitioners need meaningful access to services that they can refer into and that will respond promptly and supportively to the needs identified. Work in areas of care such as female genital mutilation and domestic violence and abuse demonstrate that having acceptable accessible services to refer into enabled inquiry and compassionate care. 30 , 31 It is an ethical prerogative that trauma-informed enquiry is supported by trauma-informed services and support. Finally, support for staff is essential and the responsibility for this should not be devolved to individuals but commissioned and provided for. This contrasts with current policy, such as the wellbeing Quality and Outcomes Framework indicators that arguably devolve the responsibility for wellbeing to those in need of wellbeing support, without offering any tangible resources.

Healthcare professionals are aware of the difficulties in discussing the interface between trauma and complexity with patients 32 and our work shows they are requesting support and guidance in how to negotiate this supportively. The British Medical Association moral injury report 22 recommends systems changes that map onto the principles of trauma-informed care, including increased staffing, streamlining of bureaucracy, open and sharing work cultures, and provision of support for employees. However, although these recommendations acknowledge the problem and offer solutions, there is no requirement for organisations to address these structural concerns. Lack of these system supports for practitioners moves the focus of trauma-informed care from a whole-systems approach to the clinician–patient interaction. 16

To seek lived-experience perspectives on our findings, 33 we spoke with three representatives of charities supporting survival sex workers (SSW) in different regions of England as an exemplar vulnerable group with significant experience of historical and ongoing trauma. They told us how women experience stigma and are afraid of disclosure and confidentiality, particularly if their children have been removed and placed into social care. The charity representatives described how women engaged in SSW rarely sought medical care or achieved registration at a general practice surgery because of lifestyle circumstances and stigmatising experiences.

We asked what trauma-informed care looked like for their service and asked them to reflect on our findings. They recommended a systems-level approach to the delivery of trauma-informed services across the health service. Barriers to access were described as starting at the front door of the general practice surgery with the reaction of the receptionist. A lack of confidentiality in the reception area, closed consulting room doors, short consultation times, and the predominance of digital access methods for appointments were also cited. Beyond these, they suggested responsive, transparent pathways into support services for vulnerable women or those living in extreme circumstances would illustrate a trauma-informed approach to services. Individual practitioners were credited with adopting a trustworthy, trauma-informed approach but charity representatives, in consultation with the women they support, felt that the healthcare system could counteract individual good practice.

J. Robin Warren, Who Proved That Bacteria Cause Ulcers, Dies at 87

He endured skepticism but won a Nobel Prize for his work upending the conventional wisdom that stress, diet or alcohol caused the painful condition.

By Michael S. Rosenwald

Dr. J. Robin Warren, an Australian pathologist who shared a Nobel Prize for discovering that most stomach ulcers were caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori — and not, as had been widely believed, stress, alcohol or spicy foods — died on July 23 in Inglewood, Australia. He was 87.

His death, at a care home, was announced by the University of Western Australia in Perth, where he was an emeritus professor for many years. His daughter-in-law Gigi Warren said the cause was complications after a recent fall.

In 1984, Dr. Warren and his collaborator, the gastroenterologist Barry Marshall , published a paper in the British medical journal The Lancet describing their finding that the spiral-shaped bacterium now commonly called H. pylori festered in the stomachs of patients with ulcers and gastritis. Dr. Warren had first noticed the bacterium on a gastric biopsy sample in 1979.

The paper’s conclusion upended centuries of conventional wisdom about the cause of ulcers. (Psychoanalysts had even written of the “peptic ulcer personality.”) Doctors typically prescribed stress reduction, a bland diet and, starting in 1977, drugs like Tagamet and Zantac to tame the burning acids. Severe cases were sometimes treated with surgery.

When the study was published, gastroenterologists were skeptical. They expressed concern about whether to trust potentially paradigm-shifting findings made by two unknown researchers in Australia. And the idea that bacteria could even grow in the stomach was considered blasphemy.
