Northwell employee no longer shies away from his autism
ean Culkin tried to ignore his autism for as long as possible. Diagnosed at 2 years old, it wasn’t until Culkin started college that he realized he had to face many of the symptoms from autism that he had never fully addressed. “The beginning of my college career was a low stage in my life,” said Culkin. “I didn’t want any support systems at school because I wasn’t comfortable with being autistic and I wasn’t comfortable with people knowing that I had it.” Now Culkin, a research coordinator at Monter Cancer Center in Lake Success, speaks publicly about coming to terms with autism. He addressed an audience on April 1, the start of World Autism Awareness Month, at the “Not Defined by Autism” event hosted by the N-Able Business Employee Resource Group (BERG) at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Queens. “I want to be able to help people

They just need the opportunity,” said Cheryl Davidson, senior director, Workforce Readiness. “Sean is an inspiration because he’s going out to the public and telling people, there’s hope for you, there are opportunities for you, there are services for you,” added Carmine Sean Culkin is a laboratory coordinator for clinical research at Northwell’s DeSena, director of psychiatric Monter Cancer Center. rehabilitation, at Zucker Hillside. “It’s the goal of really connecting to so they aren’t ashamed of autism,” as an intern through Adelphi people and knowing where to enter a Culkin said. “So people don’t have to University’s Bridges to Adelphi hide from it.” program for students with a spectrum doorway for services.” —Submitted by Northwell Health Culkin began working at Northwell disorder.

he 12th annual World Autism Awareness Day occurred on April 2, kicking off Autism Awareness Month, an entire month dedicated to spreading awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). According to www.autism speaks.org, ASD “refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.” Presently, autism affects approximately 1 in 59 children in the United States alone. Early diagnosis and early intervention are crucial in helping those with autism reach their full potential, and support services are necessary throughout their entire lifespans. You can show your support in so many ways: spend some quality time with someone you know who has autism, pledge to “go blue” to increase global understanding and acceptance of people with autism, participate in one of hundreds of walks scheduled
1. AANE (Asperger/Autism Network)
AANE works with individuals, families and professionals to help people with Asperger Syndrome or similar autism spectrum profiles build meaningful, connected lives. They provide “information, education, community, support, and advocacy—all in an atmosphere of validation and respect.” This organization is one of the first Asperger-focused organizations in the United States.

These options, such as radiofrequency ablation or transarterial chemoembolization, are performed by a radiologist and are generally outpatient procedures which are very effective. Usually people undergo these procedures to keep the tumor in check while waiting for a liver transplant. In those patients where the tumor is too large for liver transplantation or in those people with multiple tumors within the liver that preclude transplantation, chemotherapy is available. While
overall results of chemotherapy have been disappointing, several new agents have been recently introduced which may improve survival. The epidemic of liver disease in the United States, especially hepatitis C and fatty liver disease, is leading to a significant rise in primary liver cancers. The medical community has made tremendous strides in treating these cancers. Not long ago, being told you had liver cancer was a death sentence, but now it is simply a bump in the road to a long healthy life. Hopefully, the progress in treating these tumors will continue to advance.

Primary liver cancer, also called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or hepatoma, is a cancer that arises from within the liver. It is the solid organ tumor whose incidence is rising most rapidly in the United States directly related to both hepatitis C and fatty liver. HCC should not be confused with metastatic cancer to the liver. Metastatic cancer to the liver means that a cancer from another organ such as the lung or colon has spread to the liver. HCC occurs in people with underlying liver disease that has generally progressed to advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. Any liver disease which has progressed to cirrhosis places an individual at risk for liver cancer. These include conditions such as hepatitis C, hepatitis B, fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, primary biliary cholangitis, hemochromatosis and autoimmune liver disease. There are, however, two common conditions, hepatitis

Understanding Pelvic Floor Disorders spasms in the pelvis. If you’re having symptoms that indicate the possibility of a PFD, contact your healthcare provider. Your condition may be able to be diagnosed during an exam, or you might require additional tests, such as urodynamic testing or cystoscopy. There are both surgical and non-surgical treatment options for PFD. For many women, non-invasive techniques and treatments, such as biofeedback, pelvic muscle strengthening and electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor, can reduce symptoms. For others, surgical options, including minimally-invasive procedures like transvaginal prolapse repair and laparoscopic or robotic surgery, can restore function and structure to the pelvic floor. Because PFD can involve the bladder, colon, rectum, muscles, skeletal system and nerves, a multidisciplinary approach to treatment often is needed to ensure the best outcome. At the Pelvic Health Program at Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health, we’ve integrated sub-specialties, including urogynecology, urology, colorectal surgery, gastroenterology,
physical therapy and behavioral health, to streamline and improve treatment for these conditions. “Pelvic floor disorders often aren’t siloed in one specific type of care,” said Dr. Harvey Winkler, System Chief, Division of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, Urogynecology at Northwell Health. “This can make it difficult for patients to navigate their treatment. Through our collaborative approach at the Pelvic Health Program, patients receive multidisciplinary care, ensuring they receive the optimal treatment from the right specialist or team of specialists.” While not all PFD can be prevented,
there are ways to reduce your risk of developing one. Prevention strategies include regular exercise, specifically pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels, staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy diet that includes plenty of whole grains, vegetables and fruit and not smoking. The Women’s Pelvic Health Program is dedicated to providing the very best treatment for pelvic floor disorders.

ne in three women in the U.S. suffers from pelvic floor disorders (PFDs). These disorders impact women of all ages and may be caused by various factors. The pelvic floor, which consists of a hammock-shaped group of muscles, connective tissues and nerves that support organs and help their function, can become weak or injured, causing a variety of disorders. While both men and women have pelvic floors, women are more prone to muscle weakening or connective tissue tears due to trauma to the pelvic area, childbirth or deterioration with age. Obesity, genetics and lifestyle also can increase the risk of developing PFD. While these disorders can seem scary, they’re not life-threatening, and they’re highly treatable. In fact, approximately one in three women will experience a pelvic floor disorder during her lifetime. Symptoms of PFD include involuntary loss of urine, involuntary loss of stool, “dropped” bladder, uterus or rectum, a feeling of pressure in the vagina, constipation or the need to strain to have a bowel movement and muscle

Spring Cleaning For Your Body S
pring cleaning is all about moving out with the old, and in with the new. Now that the holidays are over and the warmer months are upon us, this is the perfect time to focus on personal wellness and good nutrition. Gradually phasing out bad habits can add more clarity to your life and lead to healthier choices. Here are a few natural spring cleaning tips to help get you back on track this season:
Plant-Based Eating
You don’t have to become a vegan or vegetarian to reap the benefits of a plant-based diet. Trying to prioritize fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and plant-based protein sources (ie: beans, lentils, unsalted nuts, etc) are the fundamentals of a nutritious diet. This may be an ideal time to start cutting back on red and processed meats. We know that excess red meat consumption is associated with a higher risk of developing certain cancers, including breast and colorectal cancers. Red meat contains heme iron; although iron is crucial to good health, this type of iron has its own toxicity and can act to promote the formation of carcinogenic compounds

in the body. Plus, red meat is oftentimes accompanied by unhealthy sides.
Hydration
Almost 60 percent of your body is made up of water. This vital nutrient provides life to every single one of your cells, not only keeping you alive but also helping your body perform optimally each and every day. We know that caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea and soda can be more dehydrating in the body. If you are drinking a lot of caffeine on a regular basis, slowly wean off and decrease by one cup each week. Try to get the majority of your hydration in with H2O. Infuse your water with a few slices of lemon, lime and orange. Proper hydration can help your kidneys filter waste from the blood and excrete it in the urine, keeping your body
