Feeling guilty now, for a past professional crime !
Having retired, find little more time in browsing the academic images lying idle in old computers.It is intresting, still a tiring job to pick any useful learning stuff, from heaps of data hiding in different hard drives.
This set of ECGs I could retrive from the year 2011, A 31-year-old male presented to our CCU at 4.50 PM.
The treatment was Initiated in 10 minutes and completed in an hour, (Those days cath lab wasn’t functioning 24/7, more importantly, there was no external interference with our professional decision-making process)
The ECG was repeated at 7.15 PM
I think this case is much rele...

Using Robots and Artificial Intelligence to Search for New Medicines
Courtesy of Dr. Adam Gormley.
Adam Gormley, Ph.D., describes himself as a creative and adventurous person—albeit, not creative in the traditional sense. “Science allows me to be creative; to me, it’s a form of art. I love being outdoors, going on sailing trips, and spending time adventuring with my family. Research is the same—it’s an adventure. My creative and adventurous sides have combined into a real love for science,” he says. Dr. Gormley currently channels his passion for science into his position as an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey.

Automated Computer Assistant for Kidney Transplant Rejection Diagnostics: Interview with Study Authors
A recent study in Nature Medicine, entitled “An automated histological classification system for precision diagnostics of kidney allografts,” has showcased the efforts of a group of researchers who have developed an automated system that can diagnose kidney transplant rejection.
A variety of disparate factors can affect the chances that a transplant will be rejected. At present, clinicians have to manually consider these complex data when making decisions about transplant patients, which can lead to a high level of misdiagnosis and patient morbidity.
This new system incorporates an algorithm that can synthesize t...

A man in his early 40s with chest pain a " normal ECG " by computer algorithm. Should we avoid interrupting a physician to interpret his ECG?
This study looked at less than 1000 cases, which is not nearly enough (see below for analysis) and they used cardiologists as the gold standard (a very poor gold standard), NOT presence or absence of Occlusion MI (which we have done in all of our ECG studies, and must be ascertained by 1) TIMI 0/2 flow on angiogram or 2) culprit + TIMI 3 flow and very high troponin. So this study is worthless and must be ignored. I have here 38 cases of " Computer Normal " ECGs which were critically abnormal and the vast majority are missed acute coronary occlusions (Missed Acute OMI) and most were recognized ...

How electronic health records preserve patients ’ legacies in the words of oncologists
It’s 10 p.m., do you know where your doctor is? I chuckle to myself, recalling a familiar public service announcement of the past meant to remind adults about the whereabouts of their children. I know exactly where I am at this typical hour, sitting in front of a glaring computer screen trying in vain to

Collateral Damage of IRS Audits
Chris EdwardsThe Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 boosted the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) budget over the coming decade by $79 billion, most of which is for increased enforcement. President Biden ’s March budget includes the new spending and would more than triple enforcement outlays by 2031. House Republicans have proposed cutting the new IRS funding as part of the debt deal being negotiated.At a Senate Finance Committee hearing last week,I argued that jacking up enforcement and auditing would cause collateral damage to the private sector. There are better ways to reduce taxpayer errors, including simplifying the ...

An elderly patient with syncope, dyspnea, and weakness, but no Chest Pain, and mild hyperkalemia
An elderly patient had a fall from probable syncope, and could not get up. He complained of weakness and shortness of breath, but no CP. Vital signs were normal.Here is the first ED ECG:COMPUTER INTERPRETATION:Electronic Atrial Pacemaker. Marked ST Elevation, ***ACUTE MI***What do you think?First, the QRS is incredibly wide!You should ask for more history. Whenever a patient does not have chest pain, the pre-test probability of OMI is diminished. Of course SOB, jaw pain, shoulder pain, etc can be a result of OMI, but the pretest probability is less and so you must scrutinize fur...

Advances in Early Diagnosis
This article shows how some surprising technologies are improving the early detection of several conditions. Nutromics continuously monitors the delivery of an antibiotic used to treat sepsis. Eye-tracking from Tobii is used by several of its clients to detect certain kinds of autism as early as twelve months of age. And Cordio Medical is detecting oncoming congestive heart failure (CHF) three weeks in advance of an incident.

Machine Learning Aids Rapid Design of Protein Therapeutics
Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have created a machine learning approach to scan millions of protein fragments and assess their structure and binding properties. Based on the surface chemistry and geometry of a protein, the developed software can determine a ‘fingerprint’ for each protein and predict how they might bind to various protein fragments. The researchers have now used their approach to design new protein ‘binders’ that have been created specifically to bind to proteins of therapeutic interest, such as the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The technique could allow ...
