The Business of Diabetes: 2023 Update on Glucose-Responsive Insulin
My readers may recall back in 2007, I interviewed the CEO of a startup then known as SmartCells, Inc. named Todd Zion (seehttps://blog.sstrumello.com/2007/06/conversation-with-smartcells-ceo-todd.html for my original post).

Imaging Technique Reveals Contraction Patterns During Labor
Researchers at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development have developed a new imaging technique called electromyometrial imaging (EMMI) which clinicians can use to create 3D maps of uterine contraction patterns during labor. The non-invasive imaging method utilizes rapid MRI scanning with an electromyogram obtained through sensors placed on the skin of the belly. These data are then combined to create 3D maps that reveal how contractions are initiated and spread throughout the uterus. The data will allow researchers to better understand the process of labor and help clinicians to d...

The Fiscal Impact of Immigration in the United States
ConclusionThe United States faces a considerable fiscal challenge with the explosive growth in government spending, the escalation of entitlement payments, and slower demographic growth.

What is strange about this paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in an otherwise healthy patient? And what happened after giving ibutilide?
Conclusions.The efficacy of transthoracic cardioversion for converting atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm was enhanced by pretreatment with ibutilide. However, use of this drug should be avoided in patients with very low ejection fractions. (N Engl J Med 1999;340:1849-54.) Smith comments from the full text: They included patients who had had a fib for less than 48 hours They excluded patients with a fib for longer than 48 hours unless they proved, by TE echo, to not have an atrial thrombus OR unless they anti-coagulated them for 3 weeks first *Therefore, our patients who have been in afib< 48 hours, or who h...

Racism is the root cause of ethnic inequalities in health
Race Equality Foundation -According to this briefing, racism is the cause of health inequity, from birth through to adulthood and into later life. It finds that racism is a key driver of ethnic inequalities in health, both directly and indirectly. It has an impact in childhood – with children from ethnic backgrounds being born at a lower birthweight and not hitting developmental milestones, to life-limiting long term illness, and mental illness in adulthood. It also finds that racism leads directly to poorer health through stress or worsening mental health; and indirect ly, by exposure to targeted marketing of harmful su...

Smartphone Photos to Detect Anemia
Researchers at University College London and at the University of Ghana have developed a smartphone-based system that can detect anemia through simple photos taken using the phone’s camera. The technology is intended for use in low- and middle-income countries where access to routine medical diagnostics may be unreliable. The process involves obtaining images of areas of the body which are least pigmented, including the white of the eye, the lower eyelid, and the lip. The app then analyzes the color of the imaged tissue, and as hemoglobin absorbs light in a specific fashion the app can use this information to calcula...

5 Things Parents Should Look for in Their Children ’ s Medical Records
Here are five things I think parents should look for in their children’s medical records and have at their fingertips:
BMI Percent – Parents are often stunningly wrong about whether or not their children are at a healthy weight. We are so familiar with our kids that they often look normal to us even when they are not. And more than 75% of parents of overweight children aged 2 to 15 report never being told the child is overweight by the pediatrician.The Body Mass Index is a calculation that looks at appropriate weight for height for a given age and gender. If children’s BMI is below the 5th percentile, they are likel...
