A Sneak-Peek of Spring
Yesterday I saw my immunologist. We discussed quite a few things, and she wants to see me continue social distancing, as I have been for six months, but also to try and get out more. That ’ll be hard to do with this coronavirus pandemic we’re dealing with, but yesterday was just too good to not take her advice. I just went around the neighborhood. I was so weak —so little stamina after a long, hard winter of sickness. I had to take several breaks. Even with the two ventilator valves on my mask, carbon monoxide builds up when I’m breathing hard. I lasted about 30 minutes total. It was a good effort.Today, I str...

My Tribute to Kobe Bryant
I obsessed overfinding statistics to demonstrate that Kobe Bryant played basketball better than anyone not named Michael Jordan; I obsessed over labeling him “the best basketball player on the planet.” Kobe inspired me more than most others inspired me.Why Kobe? Actually, I can no longer remember the reason I adored him. It ’s like how you remember great speeches for how they made you feel as opposed to their words. I don’t know why I loved the dude; I just know watching and thinking about Kobe made me feel ambitious and amazed.Now, I don ’t care about labels or comparing people. Winning isn’t that important to...

9 Things Every Healthcare Startup Should Know About Business Development
By ANDY MYCHKOVSKY
In this post, I write down all my strategy and business development knowledge in healthcare and organize it into the top 9 commandments for selling as a healthcare startup. I think everyone from the founder to the most junior person on the team should know these pillars because all startups must grow. I should also note these tenets are most applicable for selling into large enterprise healthcare incumbents (e.g., payers, providers, medical device, drug companies). Although I appreciate the direct-to-consumer game, these slices are less applicable for that domain. If your startup needs help developing...

Cardiology MCQ – ECG changes in pericarditis – Answer
Cardiology MCQ – ECG changes in pericarditis – Answer
ECG changes in pericarditis are due to involvement of:
Correct answer: 3. Visceral pericardium (epicardium) and adjacent myocardium
Parietal pericardium is electrically silent [1]. In pericarditis, 4 stages of ECG changes have been described:
Stage 1: PR segment depression and ST segment elevation in leads other than aVR and V1 (oriented to the cavity)
Stage 2: ST becomes isoelectric
Stage 3: T waves get inverted
Stage 4: ECG normalizes
It may be noted that unlike in the evolution of myocardial infarction ST segment elevation does not co-exist with T wave in...

Prognostic markers in pericarditis
Poor prognostic markers in pericarditis [1]:
Fever more than 38 degrees Centigrade
Large pericardial effusion measuring more than 20 mm on echocardiography
Presence of cardiac tamponade – it may be noted that tamponade need not be related to the size of effusion, rather with the rapidity of collection
Lack of response to anti-inflammatory therapy in one week

The Top Digital Health Technologies Helping Refugees Around the World
“Refugees are persons who are outside their country of origin for reasons of feared persecution, conflict, generalized violence, or other circumstances which have seriously disturbed public order and, as a result, require international protection,” writes the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). However, refugees’ plea isn’t limited to people leaving their home country en masse following atrocious wars or political instability, but can be that of anyone else, like you and me, following unforeseen calamities, be it natural or man-made, leading to similar situations.
