Meet Sensate – A Device That Calms Your Fight or Flight Response: Interview Exclusive
A quick way to soothe your nerves sounds too good to be true. There are many methods and techniques used for achieving this “calm” that include breath work, visualization, meditation, and other individualized activities. However, what intrigued us was that there is a device on the market, the developers of which claim is be able to achieve this effect in as little as ten minutes.
After trying it out for a few weeks, we can confirm – the Sensate device works remarkably well, at least in our limited experience. Let’s talk science, though. How does it actually work?
In the last couple of years, there’s been a...

Message by Dr Sumer Sethi to New MBBS Students
Welcoming new fledglings to the medical fraternity§ “You shouldn’t have come into this profession.”§ “Oh damn, I should’ve gone for engineering.”§ “I am studying for exams, while all my friends from other fields are partying… this is not fair.”How many times do we hear these words? A lot of demoralizing talks stem from not only the media and seniors but it is going to come from you too. Hence, at the very beginning, I want to sit you down and reassure you that:Yes, itis going to be a long and tedious journey but every bit of itwill feel worth it in the end.Medical profession cannot be va...

The Anatomy Of A Good Digital Health Company
Transparent communication, clinically-validated technologies, addressing real-life clinical needs; these might sound like no-brainer components to a digital health company since they are working in the healthcare sector. It is also a rapidly expanding one where investments were heavily channeled into during the pandemic.
However, some estimate that 90% of digital health startups will go bust or be ‘acqui-hired’ within a few years of being founded. If digital health represents the future of medicine and healthcare, it is important to understand why this is the case.
We previously dissected the reasons as to ...

In AF why the ventricular rate is irregular?
Here is a case report from Dr. Brugada’s group. What is your diagnosis?
Source & Courtesy Sergio Richter, Joseph Brugada et all , 100(1), 154–156. doi:10.1016/j.amjcard.2007.02.067
Whoever diagnosed AF in the above ECG need not feel bad. The rhythm is not AF, though it mimics very closely. In cardiology, especially in electrophysiology, we can get surprises on a daily basis. (Read below)
Why the ventricular rate is irregular in AF?
Atrial fibrillation (AF) may sound like a simple clinical arrhythmia until we ask this delicate question. The traditional and fairly accepted answer is that, AV node w...

2021 Cover Art Honorable Mentions
In response to our first annual call for cover art in 2021, we received an overwhelming number of submissions. We were thrilled with the number and quality of submissions, and we are grateful for and humbled by the authors’ artwork, insights, stories, and reflections. Because we are able to print only a fraction of the cover art we received, we wanted to acknowledge the artists whose work we loved but cannot publish. The following artists have received an honorable mention:

A man his 50s with chest pain. What happens when you treat with morphine rather than with reperfusion?
Written by Pendell MeyersA man in his late 50s presented to the ED with 3 days of left chest pain radiating into the jaw and neck. He described it as " heartburn. " The pain radiates into his left arm and causes numbness and tingling from time to time. The history does not state what changed on day 3 that made him finally present to the ED; the history has no details as to whether the pain was off and on, or fluctuating, or whether the pain become persistent soon before arrival (these are key details and would help with many important questions we will have below!). Vitals were normal, and his triage ECG is below, at...
