Missa Luba
We had a record of this in the house when I was growing up. I can ' t remember what I knew about it - maybe that it was from Africa, but maybe not which country. (I realise now that " from Africa " is not a meaningful description any more than describingpibroch orcerdd dant as " from Europe " would be). We had a lot of folk music in the house, so perhaps I saw it as folk music. And perhaps there is truth in that.I now have that same record in my house. The front of the record sleeve is shown above.It is on Spotify, and most of it is inThe Planet ' s Greatest African Music volume 2, dated ...

How RPM Can Reduce AI ’s Bias Problem & Improve Health Equity
The following is a guest article by Arnaud Rosier, PhD, Founder and CEO at Implicity
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most promising breakthrough technologies of the modern healthcare era, yet it also has the potential to be one of the most dangerous. AI algorithms that are trained on limited or poorly representative data sets can exhibit signs of bias in their results, skewing decision-making and possibly leading to ethnic, gender, and social discrimination and other unintentional consequences for the patients they serve.
Unfortunately, research shows that bias is already creeping into the nascent field of AI an...

The Disease Killing Healthcare and Causing Physician Burnout
BY SCOTT MACDIARMID
We have a healthcare crisis . . . and the crisis is now. Costs are soaring out of control, threatening the financial health of individuals and our nation. Quality of care is deteriorating, in spite of “world class care” signs seemingly on every corner. And physicians are checking out and burning out. I believe it’s one of the greatest societal issues of our day.
So, you may be wondering: How in the heck did we get ourselves into such a mess? In the greatest country in the world who spends the most on healthcare and is regularly bragging on how great it is, what happened?
Experts and pun...

Pulmonary hypertension and it ’ s mysterious affair with exercise !
PH has always been an exciting academic topic in cardio-pulmonary medicine, for both clinicians and researchers. It is also one of the extensively studied hemodynamic parameter. The pressure in pulmonary circulation is intimately tied to the function of two critical organs. lungs and heart and various systemic factors.The fact that pulmonary circulation is essentially expansive & engulfed by the dynamics of lungs, makes PA pressure a continually variable parameter. Further,the chest wall compliance, airway resistance ,influence of pleural pressure fluctuations, make it difficult to estimate the normative pulmonary arte...

Matthew ’s health care tidbits: Health care pricing is cray-zee
Each time I send out the THCB Reader, our newsletter that summarizes the best of THCB (Sign up here!) I include a brief tidbits section. Then I had the brainwave to add them to the blog. They’re short and usually not too sweet! –Matthew Holt
It’s no secret that health care pricing has been out of whack for a very long time. This past week PBMs and pharma manufacturers were in front of congressional committees trying to defend the indefensible–how much drugs cost and why? Hospitals have been required to publish their fictional price lists (their chargemasters) for a few years now and more recently have been instr...

Surviving TMI and AI: the importance of self-initiated self-learning for future physicians
Although adult education is meant to be accomplished without spoon-feeding, academic physicians find it challenging to avoid spoon-feeding their medical students, residents, and fellows when designing curriculums for them during medical school and graduate medical education (GME). With the advent of the internet and digital information, the situation has become worse instead of better. Artificial

Three Scenarios for Turkey ’s Election: The Good, the Bad, and the Scary
Mustafa AkyolOn Sunday, May 14, more than sixty million voters throughout Turkey will cast their votes in what may be the most fateful election for the nation since its founding a century ago. According to the results, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been ruling the country since 2002 in a growingly authoritarian and erratic fashion, will either further consolidate his grip on power, or finally lose it.For many people in the West, the latter option may sound unrealistic, if not naive. They see that under Erdogan, Turkey has become an authoritarian regime where freedom of speech and rule of law have largely vani...

Long Phone Calls Linked To Hypertension: Surprising Risk Revealed
Conclusion
This study suggests that talking on mobile phones for more than 30 minutes per week may increase the risk of developing hypertension.
While more research is needed to validate these findings, it is wise to be mindful of our mobile phone usage and prioritize heart health.
As Dr. Xianhui Qin recommended, reducing the time spent on phone calls could be a crucial step towards preserving our heart health.
