More on pseudoscience and other nonsense
Homeopathy was not invented by hippies of New Age mystics. It was first propounded in 1796 by a German named Samuel Hahnemann. It became popular in the U.S. in the 19th Century, understandably so.

But, in the 20th Century, as scientific understanding of health and disease emerged, homeopathy was discredited by the medical profession and became a fringe practice. Nevertheless it persists. Among the prominent proponents of homeopathy was His Royal Highness Charles, Prince of W...

Censoring Truthful Speech About Judges Violates the First Amendment
Thomas A. BerryCan the government censor you for wishing a judge happy birthday? It may seem absurd, but a bill that would allow exactly that was recentlyadded to theNational Defense Authorization Act. If passed into law, every American would risk facing mandatory takedown orders for posting basic facts about federal judges online, including their birthdates, the colleges attended by their children, and the jobs of their spouses. The bill stifles access to relevant information about public officials, arbitrarily limits its restrictions to the internet but not other media, and allows speech to be suppressed even i...

How to Automate the Patient-Provider Working Relationship
The following is a guest article by Stephen Dean, Healthcare CRM Expert and Co-Founder of Keona Health.
Many health care professionals think the strength of the patient-provider relationship is determined solely by the face-to-face interactions between patients and physicians, and that all problems begin and end there. But in-person interactions are often not the root cause of patient dissatisfaction. Splinters in the relationship can also begin remotely, brought about by frustrating telehealth systems.
Today’s patients want seamless, holistic, and reliable health care access, self-service, and communication. They want t...

The focus of the internet of things (IoT) must pivot to achieve health care potential
In many ways, internet of things (IoT) is a double-edged sword: connected devices are capturing huge volumes and varieties of data that can be mined for everything from potentially life-saving health care information to guidance toward peak athletic performance, but it is incredibly difficult to convert that raw data into truly meaningful and actionable insights.

What is a nuclear stress test? Cardiology Basics
Usual stress test for the evaluation of coronary artery disease is a treadmill exercise ECG. It is commonly part of general health check-up and is widely available. But there are certain situations when the exercise ECG is not interpretable as in a person with left bundle branch block. Then a nuclear stress test will be useful.

Nuclear stress test will tell you which is the region of myocardium that is affected. If there is already signif...
