Greetings from the team that brings you MD News
Long Island.
The cover story this month features Sachin Shah, MD,
spine surgeon at Neurologica l Surgery, P.C., and his
collaboration with Fernando Checo, MD, orthopedic
surgeon at The Central Orthopedic Group, to treat spine
tumors. For more than seven years, fellowship-trained
Drs. Shah and Checo have combined their expertise to
provide the most advanced surgical treatment options
for patients with spinal column tumors.
Children who are hospitalized for injuries face a sig-
nificantly greater chance of later being diagnosed with a
mental health condition, a recent study reveals. A feature
in our clinical section about mental health examines the
research. We also review findings that patients hospitalized
for mania are less likely to be rehospitalized if they are
treated with probiotics. And we round up key statistics
about mental health.
Our national feature explores cost-effective ways
healthcare facilities can enhance security in parking
lots and garages.
Contact me at 914-967-6565, @MDNewsMetroNY or
dansenkiw@lexmediagroup.com to learn how MD News
can share your organization's capabilities with the region's
referring physicians.
Regards,
Dan Senkiw
