Oracle Health Goes Beyond Visit Summaries with Its Use of AI in Their EHR
Many companies are jumping on the AI bandwagon to offer services ranging from risk stratification to auto-generation of patient notes after a visit. Oracle Health wants to move further. In this video at the Oracle Health conference, Senior Vice President of Product Management, Suhas Uliyar describes how Oracle Health is creating tools that accompany and augment the workflow of physicians, nurses, and patients.
Uliyar addresses the commonly noted problem of burnout among clinicians, and says that Oracle Health wants to speed up administrative work so they can talk more to patients.
During a patient visit, where other tools ...

An Aging Clock from Aqueous Humor
Our biochemistry changes with age in ways that are broadly similar from person to person, occurring due to the same underlying mechanisms of aging. Any sufficiently large set of biological data can in principle be used to find an aging clock, some combination of weighted measures that assesses biological age or chronological age. As an illustration of that point, researchers here use the contents of aqueous humor from the eye to do just that. This approach is unlikely to be widely used, given that clocks based on blood samples or other more easily accessible data work just as well when it comes to determining biological ag...

Rate vs Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation
Rate vs rhythm control as a management strategy in atrial fibrillation has been a long standing topic for debate. Though at one look rhythm control would appear to be the ideal strategy, long term adverse effects of the currently available medications for rhythm control is the often cited down side. AFFIRM [1] and RACE [2] trials were the main reason for the debate as they failed to show any benefit for the rhythm control strategy. AF-CHF trial in those with AF and congestive heart failure also failed to show any advantage for the rhythm control strategy [3]. But there have been important criticisms as well [4]. In AFFIRM...

Does this T wave pattern mean anything?
Written by Michael Doyle DO and Timothy Palmieri MD. Edited by Bracey, Meyers, Grauer, and SmithA 50-something-year-old female with a history of an unknown
personality disorder and alcohol use disorder arrived via EMS following cardiac arrest with return
of spontaneous circulation. The described rhythm was an irregular, wide complex
rhythm. By EMS report, open pill bottles were found nearby at the scene, including quetiapine, fluoxetine, hydroxyzine, and gabapentin. She was successfully revived
after several rounds of ACLS including defibrillation and amiodarone.On arrival to the ED the patient was intubated with normal vi...

Mindfulness Based Interventions For Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare professionals frequently experience stress and burnout in their work environment. Unaddressed, such stress and burnout sometimes lead to physical and mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, diabetes, fatigue, heart disease, hypertension, insomnia and obesity Burnout amongst HCPs has also been associated with reduced job satisfaction and negative patient outcomes, like reduced patient satisfaction and increased work errors.
There is a growing evidence suggesting that mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) can help decrease stress and burnout experienced amongst HCPs, increasing job satisfaction ...

The Future of Digital Health: How UX Design is Shaping the Industry
By PARV SONDHI
As the digital health world continues to expand, more and more people are turning to apps to manage everything from diabetes and obesity to depression and anxiety. People rely on these apps for their physical and mental health, so it’s crucial that product developers ensure a safe, effective, and engaging experience for them. Healthcare experts agree.
A team of researchers and health system leaders recently introduced a new framework called “Evidence DEFINED” for evaluating digital health products. This framework offers hospitals, payers, and trade organizations a precise set of guidelines to as...

Calorie Restriction Improves Pancreatic Function in Aging Mammals
Beta cells in the pancreas produce insulin and are essential to the regulation of glucose metabolism. Dysfunction in this cell population causes diabetes, whether the origin is autoimmune destruction of beta cells (type 1 diabetes) or senescence of beta cells brought on by obesity (type 2 diabetes). Aging also impairs beta cell function through some of the same mechanisms, such as cellular senescence and constant, unresolved inflammatory signaling. The practice of calorie restriction slows aging, albeit to a greater degree in short-lived species than in long-lived species, and so it is not surprising to see that calorie re...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, October 16th 2023
In conclusion, a number of studies have shown that CD4+ Treg cells are crucial in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance and have an important role in the control of atherosclerosis-related inflammation. Therefore, Treg cells are a promising target of major research efforts focused on immune-modulating therapies against atherosclerosis. Developing anti-atherosclerotic Treg-based therapies faces challenges. However, rapid progress in genetic, epigenetic, and molecular aspects of cellular immunology gives hope for a fast-track solution.

Pigs as a Model to Explore Links Between the Gut Microbiome and Chronic Inflammation in Aging
This study employed a comprehensive metagenomic analysis encompassing saliva and stool samples obtained from 45 pigs representing three distinct age groups, alongside serum metabolomics and lipidomics profiling. Our findings unveiled discernible modifications in the gut and oral microbiomes, serum metabolome, and lipidome at each age stage. Specifically, we identified 87 microbial species in stool samples and 68 in saliva samples that demonstrated significant age-related changes. Notably, 13 species in stool, including Clostridiales bacterium, Lactobacillus johnsonii, and Oscillibacter spp., exhibited age-dependent alterat...

Towards More Selective Ways to Block Unwanted Inflammation
Control of chronic inflammation may turn out to be one of the more important themes in the treatment of aging as a medical condition. Senescent cells generate inflammatory signaling, but removing that contribution is likely the easiest aspect of the problem. Many forms of age-related cellular damage and dysfunction generate constant, unwanted, excess inflammation through interactions and signals that are used during a normal, desirable inflammatory reaction, such as to injury or infection. Thus interfering in these mechanisms must be very selective; simply blockading a given signal has undesirable side-effects, such as a w...

The High Cost of Type 2 Diabetes as a Lifestyle Condition
Type 2 diabetes is near entirely a lifestyle condition, and can be reversed even in later stages via suitably aggressive dietary and weight loss interventions. Obesity in early adult life is sufficient to cause type 2 diabetes via some combination of mechanisms involving excess fat in the pancreas and increased stress put upon insulin-generating beta cells resident in the pancreas, leading to greater cellular senescence and altered cell behavior. Excess visceral fat is in general harmful to the body via its metabolic activity. There are a range of ways beyond an increased burden of senescent cells by which it can produce c...
