Researchers Use Whole Genome Sequencing to Make Surprising Discovery about Hospital-Acquired C. Diff Infections
By analyzing strains of the bacterium from a hospital ICU, the scientists learned that most infections were triggered within patients, not from cross-transmission Tracking the source of Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) has long been centered around the assumption that most HAIs originate from cross-transmission within the hospital or healthcare setting. And prevention measures are costly for […]

Rise in Cancer Rates among Young People Contributes to New Phenomenon of ‘Turbo Cancers’ as a Cause for Concern
Clinical laboratories and pathologists should expect to receive increase referrals from oncologists with younger patients More people are getting serious cases of cancer at younger and younger ages. So much so that some anatomic pathologists and epidemiologists are using the term “Turbo Cancers” to describe “the recent emergence of aggressive cancers that grow very quickly,” […]

Enterprise imaging: What is the market opportunity beyond radiology?
The concept of an enterprise imaging strategy was coined over a decade ago, however, it’s only in recent years that the expansion beyond “enterprise radiology” has truly begun. The total market for IT across those nine specialties included in Signify Research’s report reached $6.6 billion in 2022; however, only 20% of market revenue was associated with enterprise deals. When digging deeper into which specialties led the enterprise trend, radiology represented 71% of the total enterprise imaging IT market. As demonstrated in the graph below, radiology and cardiology are expected to continue dominating the market op...

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, half of young American adults have significant symptoms. It’s no wonder that the anxiety epidemic is causing us much consternation and concern.
But, as a clinician and researcher, I see a much bigger problem. In our society’s quest to be anxiety-free, we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this normal human emotion.

COVID-19 AI model boosts disease detection by radiologists
A deep-learning (DL) AI algorithm designed to help clinicians diagnose COVID-19 has been validated in a study by radiologists who interpreted x-rays with and without the model, according to a study published October 16 in Scientific Reports.A team led by Takamichi Murakami, MD, PhD, of Kobe University in Kobe, Japan, found that the DL model was more accurate than six of eight radiologist readers and that the accuracy of the readers improved when they used the AI.“This DL model of CXRs may be useful, especially in areas where medical resources are limited,” the group wrote.While the development of vaccines and measures ...
