Brain Data in Context: Are New Rights the Way to Mental and Brain Privacy? (AJOB Neuroscience). From the Abstract:
The potential to collect brain data more directly, with higher resolution, and in greater amounts has heightened worries about mental and brain privacy … To better understand the privacy stakes of brain data, we suggest the use of a conceptual framework from information ethics, Helen Nissenbaum’s “contextual integrity” theory. To illustrate the importance of context, we examine neurotechnologies and the information flows th...

Sustainable Healthcare: Reducing the Energy Burden and Environmental Impact of Caregiving
The following is a guest article by Steve Lazer, Global Healthcare and Life Sciences CTO at Dell Technologies
Healthcare services play a vital role in enhancing human well-being, but it’s essential to recognize that they also leave an environmental footprint contributing to environment-related health threats.
According to a report from the environmental advocacy group Health Care Without Harm, the U.S. healthcare industry is responsible for 7.6 percent of the nation’s total “climate footprint.” While this might seem like a relatively low number, when we are talking about working towards a net ze...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 7th 2023
In conclusion, here, we demonstrate a novel mechanism for ESC-EVs to protect cells from senescence. However, whether ESC-EVs rejuvenate aged mice via miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p remains unknown. Next, we plan to use miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p antagonists while treating aged mice with ESC-EVs to further investigate the mechanism by which ESC-EVs resist aging in vivo.

These Three Things Can Bring EHRs to the Next Level
The following is a guest article by Dr. Mark Pratt, Chief Medical Officer at Altera Digital Health
The patient quietly sits while her physician delves into the data stored in her electronic health record, combing through different screens for specific information. It takes longer than both expect, precious minutes that diminish the available time for an actual conversation about the patient’s health status and the physician’s recommendations.
This familiar scene exemplifies the unnecessary burdens traditional EHRs have placed on providers, patients, and the overall healthcare system. As a former ER physician and curren...

Why Are So Many Healthcare Companies Still Being Breached?
The following is a guest article by Terry Ray, SVP, Data Security GTM, and Field CTO at Imperva
Despite satisfying regulatory requirements, 93% of healthcare organizations have experienced a data breach within the past three years and 57% have been breached more than five times over that span. The alarming frequency and severity of these breaches leave many wondering why. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is one of the most well-known – though broadly misunderstood – data protection regulations, and it includes stiff penalties for noncompliance. With such stringent protections in place, ...

OMI Pocket Guide
📕OMI Pocket Guide TheOMI Pocket Guide (https://omiguide.org) is a user-friendly online resource designed to help healthcare professionals learn how to recognize subtle signs of acute coronary occlusion on the ECG which represent occlusion myocardial infarctions (OMI). Learning to recognize OMIs is an important clinical skill because it helps identify the subpopulation of " NSTEMIs " who are likely to be found with total thrombotic occlusion at the time of cardiac catherization.Although there are more criteria to consider when looking for OMIs compared to STEMIs, anyone can learn them, and this guid...

VEGF and Runx2 mRNA Delivered by Nanomicelle Accelerate Bone Regeneration
In this study, to produce additive angiogenic-osteogenic effects in the process of bone regeneration, VEGF and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), an essential transcription factor for osteogenic differentiation, were coadministered with messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to bone defects in the rat mandible.
The mRNAs were administered to a bone defect prepared in the rat mandible using our original cationic polymer-based carrier, the polyplex nanomicelle. The bone regeneration was evaluated by micro-computerized tomography (μCT) imaging, and histologic analyses.
Osteogenic markers such as osteocalcin (Ocn) and...

The Top 10 Health Chatbots
This study from March 2023 reports how an app developed to help patients’ bowel preparation can increase compliance and thus, the number of successful colonoscopies.
In some cases, health chatbots are also able to connect patients with clinicians for diagnosis or treatment, but that is one step further down the line. The general idea is that in the future, these talking or texting smart algorithms might become the first contact point for primary care. Patients will not get in touch with physicians or nurses or any medical professional with every one of their health questions but will turn to chatbots first. If th...

A woman in her 50s with chest pain and lightheadedness and " anterior subendocardial ischemia "
Written by Pendell MeyersA woman in her 50s presented with acute chest pain and lightheadedness since the past several hours. Here is her triage ECG during active symptoms:What do you think?The ED physician read this as " Normal sinus rhythm. LVH. Marked ST abnormality, possible anterior subendocardial injury. " Smith: I suspect this was a confirmation of the conventional computer interpretation. These are often wrong and lead the physician astray.This is wrong on many levels. The rhythm is some form of heart block (see Ken ' s comments at end of post) with junctional escape. The STD maximal in ...
