A Relationship Between the Gut Microbiome and Bone Density
https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/09/a-relationship-between-the-gut-microbiome-and-bone-density/
Changes in the gut microbiome take place with advancing age, an increase in populations that provoke chronic inflammation, a reduction in the populations producing beneficial metabolites. Even only considering rising levels of in...

Having Tackled Workflows and Image Enhancement, Generative AI Targets Diagnostics
The following is a guest article by Morris Panner, President at Intelerad Medical Systems
By 2034, the U.S. could face a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians due, in part, to burnout. In the medical imaging field, specifically, this challenge isn’t exactly new – but the technology that could help remedy the problem is. The usage of this potential solution in the imaging space has been delayed due to the perception it’s a bit of a rule-breaker.
A fairly recent arrival to radiology, Generative AI has emerged as a powerful resource, showing promise in a variety of tasks, from supporting streamlined workflows to syntheti...

A Certain Type of Media Outlet that Chooses to Generate Confusion About Longevity Science
There is a certain type of media entity and journalist that really only cares about name dropping the wealthy and the famous, and has absolutely no interest in accuracy, education, understanding, factual conveyance of information, all of those pleasant things that make the world turn. Thus there will continue to be articles about ongoing intitiatives relating to aging, such as the one I'll reluctantly point out today, that are abysmal. This sort of article is abysmal because it actively, willfully conflates a whole set of very different activities with very different merits under one heading, while appealing to lowest comm...

Addressing the Mental Health Crisis: Why Personalized Digital Solutions Are Essential To Meet Growing Demand
The following is a guest article by Byron Crowe, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Solera
Demand for mental services has never been higher, and an ongoing shortage of psychiatrists and psychologists is preventing millions of Americans from timely access to mental health services. And the timing couldn’t be worse — findings from Solera Health’s recent Mental Health Index, a nationally representative survey of over 3,000 U.S. adults, found that 42% of Americans continue to be bothered by symptoms of anxiety and depression, a staggering figure that remains substantially elevated from pre-pandemic numbers. Moreover, these sym...

In Other Words: Sandboxes Aren ’t Just for Kids
Did you know that kids aren’t the only ones playing around in sandboxes? The term sandbox may evoke a childhood memory of sensory play, but it’s also used to describe a virtual environment where someone can learn from digital products.

High quantities of data that can be hard to manage, store, and understand are increasingly driving biomedical research. Scientists need access to high-performance computer infrastructure along with bioinformatics tools to do cutting-edge research, but often these resources are out of reach for smaller institutions. Cloud computing can provide access to top-of-the...

Healthcare IT Regulations – What Needs to Be Added and What Needs to Be Removed
There are a lot of rules and regulations in place in the world of healthcare. These are put into place in order to protect patients and organizations.

Or are there areas that are missing regulations? Or are there areas in healthcare where past regulations are now too restrictive and are holding us back?
In search of answers to these questions, we reached out to our incredibly beautiful Healthcare IT Today Community to see what areas they would add, remove, or update re...

Lateral Reading A Skill Against Fake News
Normally when I pick up a book or a journal article, I already have some context about its credibility or relevance. I’ve a newspaper for decades now, which I trust. I check articles on their scientific soundness. I mostly choose a journal article because it’s in a reputable journal or cited by someone you trust.The web is a different beast altogether. When you land on a webpage, you’re often clueless about its reliability or the authority of the author. Most people’s instinct is to navigate through the site, maybe check the “About” page or look at author bios. Michael Caulfield the writer of the book “We...

Judge for yourself the management of this patient with " NSTEMI, multivessel disease "
DISCUSSION:The administration of
opioid analgesia prior to cath in patients with concern for ACS is associated
with longer door-to-balloon times, and greater peak troponin levels. The rate
of Occlusion MI in those who received pre-cath opioids was double the rate of
those without pre-cath opioids, and STEMI(-) OMI patients who received pre-cath
opioids waited 10 hours on average longer to get cath than those who did not
received opioids. These results add support to our hypothesis that a major
mechanism of harm caused by opioid medications in ACS patients involves delays
to the cath lab for patients with STEMI(-) OMI.=====...

The next bumper sticker: political science
As usual, Ramaswamy ' s glib slogans aren ' t self-explanatory, but I think we can figure out what he ' s pretending to be thinking about with this one:There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.One would guess that this is a reference to the bullshit concept of the " Deep State. " What that actually means is of course the career civil service -- federal employees who don ' t get replaced wholesale every time the party in power changes, and who have legal protections to make sure that doesn ' t happen. Sometimes it also includes the military. (Sometimes it ' s the Deep State that ' s persecuting Ronald...

Smells like AI Spirit
By KIM BELLARD
There are so many exciting developments in artificial intelligence (AI) these days that one almost becomes numb to them. Then along comes something that makes me think, hmm, I didn’t see that coming.
For example, AI can now smell.
Strictly speaking, that’s not quite true, at least not in the way humans and other creatures smell. There’s no olfactory organ, like our nose or a snake’s tongue. What AI has been trained to do is to look at a molecular structure and predict what it would smell like.
If you’re wondering (as I certainly did when I heard AI could smell), AI has also starte...

Security When Lives are on the Line
Computer vulnerabilities, threats, and security practices are similar in every industry. But health care presents particular challenges, discussed in this video with John Wilson, Director of Sales, SLED and Healthcare at SolarWinds and Scott Pross, Vice President of Technology, Monalytic, a SolarWinds company. Wilson and Pross make up part of the new dedicated team that SolarWinds has put together for healthcare.
Several factors make health care challenging. Patient data is particularly sensitive and highly regulated, leading Pross to say “We treat our health care customers the way we treat our DoD customers”...

The Lonely Epidemic: Social Isolation and Technology
Alarming effects have been found from recent digital technologies on social connections and mental health. The Surgeon General issued a highly publicized advisory on loneliness and another on youth, both replete with evidence of the harm done by social media and the internet generally. But can digital technology also improve social connections?
While the harm done by digital media to many people has been well demonstrated, there are also people who thrive on digital connections, particularly people from marginalized groups who have trouble finding each other in physical settings). The Surgeon General advisory on youth poin...
