Dr. Thomas Lozito. Credit: Chris Shinn for USC Health Advancement Communications.
“I’ve always been interested in science and in lizards. I got my first pet lizard when I was around 4 years old, and it was love at first sight,” says Thomas Lozito, Ph.D., who now studies the creatures as an assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery, stem cell biology, and regenerative medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles.
During his childhood, Dr. Lozito turned his parents’ house into a “little zoo” of lizards and amphibians. He sneaked lizards into his dorm room as a college student at Jo...

Immigrants Reduce Unionization in the United States
Alex NowrastehIdentifying and analyzingarguments against increased legal immigration has been one of the core components of my job over the last decade. Most of those arguments areflimsy. The effect of immigrants on wages issmall and to the benefit of complementary native ‐born American workers. Immigrants are lesscriminallyinclined than native ‐born Americans. Immigrants and their descendantsassimilate quickly into American culture. The threat ofterrorist attacks carried about by foreigners on U.S. soil is real but also small and manageable. But one argument stands out to the point where I ’veco ‐authored...

The Top 5 Medical Innovations To Look Out For In 2022
As they say, new year, new beginnings; and this also applies to the field of digital health! With the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, the crisis has led to the adoption of certain trends in response to the challenges it raised. In general, this tends to bring the point of care to wherever the patient is. As more investment and research focus are diverted towards those relevant fields, this will help generate more innovations from those areas.
Even if they might not become the point of focus in 2022, these “predictions” usually follow through with time. For instance, for 2020 we forecasted a new line of Googl...

Why I don ’ t trust my clinical reasoning: and why this matters
“See someone experienced” I hear people with pain say. “They’ll know what’s wrong with you.”
Well, based on the research I’ve read, I wouldn’t be so sure. In fact, I’m certain my own clinical reasoning is biased, prone to errors that I don’t notice, and influenced by factors that most clinicians would be horrified to think they, too, were influenced by.
Let me give you a few to ponder:
I’m interested in women and pain – and there’s a lot of evidence showing that women’s pain doesn’t get the same kind of diagnostic and managem...
