Trial By Error: My Letter to Scientific Reports about New Study of Physical Activity and Long Covid
By David Tuller, DrPH The other day I posted a blog about yet another problematic Long Covid study published by a major journal. The study concluded that physical activity (PA) can “reduce” symptoms in young women with prolonged medical complaints after Covid-19, or what the authors call post-COVID condition (PCC).

More on Freeze Peach
This is a topic I address from time to time, but it seems a new post is needed now because of various nonsense that ' s going on. First, let me make one thing perfectly clear, as a man we would all like to forget used to say: free speech and academic freedom are not the same. Legally, the only meaning of Free Speech ™ is the First Amendment, as interpreted by the courts. Originally it applied only to the federal government, but the 14th Amendment extended the protections of the Bill of Rights to the States, so it now applies to all government entities within the United States, and that includes your small tow n Board of ...

Will Medical Facial Recognition Technology (mFRT) Reawaken Eugenics?
By MIKE MAGEE
How comfortable is the FDA and Medical Ethics community with a new super-charged medical Facial Recognition Technology (mFRT) that claims it can “identify the early stages of autism in infants as young as 12 months?” That test already has a name -the RightEye GeoPref Autism Test. Its’ UC San Diego designer says it was 86% accurate in testing 400 infants and toddlers.
Or how about Face2Gene which claims its’ mFRT tool already has linked half of the known human genetic syndromes to “facial patterns?”
Or how about employers using mFRT facial and speech patterns to identify employees likely t...

Technobabble To English: A Buzzword Guide For Medical AI And Digital Health
Navigating AI in medicine and digital health can feel like ordering a coffee at that new hipster café downtown: exciting yet slightly overwhelming with a menu that seems to be in a different language. A while ago we published a buzzword dictionary to help you decode the most frequently repeated terms. Back then artificial intelligence and machine learning were rarely heard exotic expressions, but as quite a few years have passed, a whole new set of mambo-jambo emerged, waiting to be explained.
You’re probably sick of hearing the latest digital health buzzwords without any actual context, so let’s translat...

A crisis of alcoholism is surging in the United States
The CDC is trying, desperately, it seems, to pound a square peg into a round hole, blaming COVID-19 for a surge in alcohol use and ignoring a glaring problem with the evidence. That’s not something you generally expect from scientists. However, I would argue the CDC is no longer controlled by scientists. While dedicated scientists

The Evolution of the EHR Service Desk and Leveraging an Outside Provider
Dan O’Connor, Vice President, Service Desk Delivery at HCTec, says that resolving a customer service call involves a lot more than fixing the problem that the customer bought. You have to leave the customer feeling that you cared about them. Conveying that sense of care might be more important than solving the problem.
Furthermore, every call is about patient care, even if it’s helping a staff person use their computer. That’s because they are all ultimately serving a patient.
In this video, O’Connor explores service desks with Audrius Polikaitis, Chief Information Officer at UI Health, which serves...

The Advantages, Challenges, and Costs of Healthcare at Home Services
Switching to fully remote operations during the pandemic was a rushed adventure into what was mostly uncharted territory. There were a lot of challenges and bugs to work out, but there were also plenty of advantages and unforeseen benefits. And it is thanks to those advantages and benefits that healthcare at home is continuing, even as there are still challenges to work on and in-person operations return. While our first big push into remote care was a leap into the unknown, this time we want to make sure that we are surveying the landscape to make this a safe, smart, and financially responsible decision.
So let’s ta...

A potential discovery of highly fatal SARS coronavirus?
Has a highly fatal SARS coronavirus already been discovered? Maybe yes, but just its report is highly concerning. On January 4, 2024, a letter to the editor was uploaded to a preprint server which gave too few details but described a 100 percent fatal virus in genetically modified mice. The modifications made these mice similar

Towards a Better Understanding of the Role of the Gut Microbiome in Alzheimer's Disease
This article summarizes research presented at the virtual symposium and workshop, "New Approaches for Understanding the Potential Role of Microbes in Alzheimer's Disease." The objective of these events was to review the evidence base and catalyze research to address knowledge gaps in the hypothesis that infections or microbes play some causative role in the development or progression of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a complex disease; this symposium was rooted in an understanding that its pathogenesis could be triggered by both microbe-dependent and microbe-independent pathways and the two are not mutually ex...
