Julianna Czum talks AI chest radiograph study with AuntMinnie.com
Researchers from the University of Ulsan in Seoul, South Korea recently developed and tested a deep-learning algorithm that was successful in a study of over 3.3 million chest radiographs. The team reported that the algorithm could successfully triage pairs of chest radiographs showing no change while detecting urgent interval changes during longitudinal follow-up. Julianna Czum, MD, from Johns Hopkins University wrote an editorial accompanying the study. She spoke with AuntMinnie.com to discuss its implications, how such a method could help mitigate burnout for emergency radiologists, and how AI continues its movement...

PET brain study: More research needed in former NFL players
PET imaging shows high levels of brain protein activity associated with injury in a large group of young, former National Football League (NFL) players, according to a study published October 30 in JAMA Network Open. A team led by researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, found that translocator protein (TSPO) levels on PET brain scans were higher in young, former NFL players compared with elite, non-collision sport athletes, and they called for further research to find out whether these signs persist over time.“Further understanding of the microglial response to repeated [mild traumatic brain injury] in ...

AI model shows promise for interpreting follow-up chest x-rays
A group in Seoul, Korea, has developed an AI model that could help reduce radiology workflows by identifying “no changes” in follow-up chest x-rays of patients in critical care, according to a study published October 24 in Radiology.In a test set of 533 pairs of patient x-rays (baseline and follow-up), the algorithm was highly accurate when interpreting those that showed no changes, wrote first authors Jihye Yun, PhD, Yura Ahn, MD, of the University of Ulsan, and colleagues.“Radiologists routinely compare the current and previous chest radiographs during interpretation to enhance the sensitivity for change detection ...

‘ Hospital at Home ’ Could Be the Future of Health Care. Not Everyone Thinks It ’ s a Good Idea
In July 2022, Rudie Watzig collapsed. The diagnosis was as serious as it was unexpected—cirrhosis of the liver—and it landed him in the intensive care unit for what he considered a period of sheer torture. “I hated it. I hated being in the hospital,” says Watzig, 44, of Portland, Oregon. “Not seeing my kids … not having my wife there … not having my nice Purple mattress to sleep on.”

So imagine his chagrin when he was again rushed to the emergency room a few months later, this time for breathing problems due to fluid buildup ...

The Danger of ‘Invisible’ Biolabs Across the U.S.
Recently, many California residents were disturbed to learn that a small, privately-operated bio lab in the Central Valley town of Reedley was shut down by Fresno County Department of Public Health officials after they found that it had been improperly managing almost 1,000 laboratory mice and samples of infectious diseases including COVID-19, rubella, malaria, dengue, chlamydia, hepatitis, and HIV. The lab was registered to a company called Prestige Biotech that sold a variety of medical testing kits, including for pregnancy and COVID-19, and it was likely storing disease samples for the purpose of developing and validati...
