Corvia atrial shunt system: Mean LA pressure reduction device in HFpEF
Lowering the raised LA mean pressure is a major therapeutic goal in any severely symptomatic left heart disease, whether it is valvular or myocardial disease. It is prudent to understand, that even in systolic LV failure; it is the raised LVEDP that causes the symptoms and marks the limits of exercise capacity. Drugs like inotropes, pre-load , afterload modulators like diuretics and vasodilators can take care to a certain extent.
When symptoms are refractory and the underlying condition has no primary correction , we need to intervene with some extreme procedures. We know a small ASD decompresses mitral stenosis, and th...

Wednesday Bible Study: The Return of the King
You may recall that an earlier psalm purported to be the last Psalm of David, but as we know, the current Book of Psalms is actually a compilation and the editors just didn ' t delete that. There are more psalms attributed to David and we ' ve come to two of them today. Psalm 101, attributed to David, is a sort of oath of office. Psalm 103 is a song of praise, which gives God several attributes that he clearly doesn ' t have. No, he doesn ' t heal all diseases (v. 3), doesn ' t renew youth (v. 5), doesn ' t work vindication and justice for all who are oppressed (v. 6) and most certainly is not merciful and...

Cybersecurity Investment in Fundamental Tools and Training Is Key to Securing Your Healthcare Organization
According to Ryan Witt, Vice President, Industry Solutions at Proofpoint, Inc., phishing emails are still the most prevalent and dangerous sources for security breaches. In this video, Witt and Joshua Roth, Chief Information Security Officer at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), discuss how they protect against breaches through fundamental investments in tools and training.
This interview with Healthcare IT Today took place in the shadow of the recent cyberattack on Change Healthcare, which is still preventing thousands of health care providers from receiving payments.

And Now For Something Completely Different
By KIM BELLARD
The most interesting story I read in the past week doesn’t come from the more usual worlds of health and/or technology, but from sports. It’s not even really news, since it was announced last fall; it’s just that it wasn’t until last week that a U.S. publication (The New York Times) reported on it. In a nutshell, a Paris football (a.k.a. soccer) club is not charging its fans admission during the current season.
Since last week I wrote about medical debt in the U.S. healthcare system, you might guess where this is going. The club is Paris FC. Last November it announced:
For the first time in ...

Navigating self-judgment with compassion
Earlier this week, I made a stupid mistake, and that mistake cost us our dental and vision insurance for the year 2024. You see, I had my COBRA from my old job that I had planned to keep, as the kids still had braces, and switching midway apparently resulted in non-coverage. So, I spent a

Supported self-management – what are we managing, actually?
One of the words that has been in my vocabulary for decades is ‘management.’ No, I don’t mean the proliferative middle management layer infesting healthcare for about as long as I’ve been working in health. I mean ‘pain management’ or ‘supported self-management.’ As ever, what pops up for me is about what, exactly, is being managed?
Is it pain? Well – not exactly. After all, pain does what it does, and if we focus on pain reduction alone just look where that gets us (Ballantyne & Sullivan, 2015; Cutler & Glaeser, 2021). And quickly, lest anyone think I’...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 15th 2024
In conclusion, although several clinical trials targeting SnCs are ongoing, various questions about the biology of SnCs remain open, resulting in a gap between molecular and cellular data. Concerning the need, initiatives such as SenNet aiming to create openly accessible atlases of SnCs should contribute enormously to the area. Advances in understanding the subcellular structure, the heterogeneity, and the dynamics of SnCs require the integration of molecular and cellular techniques with data analysis packages to evaluate high throughput evidence from microscopy and flow cytometry. It is also necessary to develop new equip...

Finding joy beyond medicine: a tale of pet companionship
My question to all the health care workers is, “Have you ever kept pets or tried to keep them?” If the answer is “yes,” then you are indeed very lucky. I think there are only two sources that can bring utter joy to humans in this life. One of them is children, and the other

TLR2 Important in the Dysfunction of Hair Follicles
Dysfunction in hair follicles and loss of the capacity for hair growth is a perhaps surprisingly complex aspect of aging and disease. For all the the basic mechanisms of hair growth are well-investigated, the hair follicle is a complex structure, and hair growth involves the collaboration of many cell types, activities, and signaling that shifts over time as the follicle progresses through the stages of growth. It has proven to be hard to pin down any one specific mechanism as vital, and it may turn out to be the case that no one specific mechanism is the key to preventing loss of hair with advancing age and other circumst...

Rethinking teen medical consent: Navigating complex health needs
Is it time to reconsider the age of medical consent for teens? This is a question I have been asking myself as my children are approaching 18. For many years, I’ve dreaded the thought of my medically challenging child turning 18 and suddenly being thrust into the not-so-warm and fuzzy adult world. I have nightmares

Martin Burke: Replacing Lost Proteins to Treat Disease
As a medical student, Martin Burke, M.D., Ph.D., helped care for a young college student with cystic fibrosis (CF), an inherited disease that affects the body’s ability to make sweat and mucus. Dr. Burke had just studied CF in class, so he relayed what he had learned to her. He had a lot of information to give—doctors and researchers know the exact amino acid changes in an ion channel protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that cause CF.

Suspicions of medical child abuse delayed my child ’ s cancer diagnosis
It was November 2014. I was leaving the parking structure of my local children’s hospital when I realized, “They don’t believe us.” I didn’t know it at the time, but it would take seven more months to find the cause of my eight-year-old daughter’s unremitting abdominal pain. An ultrasound ultimately revealed a malignant mass on
