A satirical letter to radiologists from a jilted orthopedic surgeon [PODCAST]
“We orthopedic surgeons are disappointed with the growing lack of enthusiasm in your reports. When I began in practice almost 15 years ago, it wasn ’t unusual to see a report of a post-reduction or post-surgical X-ray that read,‘alignment is now anatomic’ or, at a minimum,‘near anatomic.’ What happened? What did we do toRead more …A satirical letter to radiologists from a jilted orthopedic surgeon [PODCAST] originally appeared inKevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

Synthetic Data In Healthcare – Will Smarter Data Bring The A.I. Revolution In Healthcare?
Data is the foundation of artificial intelligence. As the importance of A.I. grows in modern medicine, there’s a huge need for data (as well as data annotation) – the latter being one of the most important aspects of the work in building an algorithm. In healthcare, collecting data means utilising existing databases and using images, radiology results, samples, CT or MR scans, patient records and more. The more data you feed the system, the better the results can become.
Artificial intelligence has earned its place in multiple fields of medicine, from recognising patterns, supporting diagnoses and setting ...

Instructions Don ’t Always Help Us To Do Better At A Task
By Emma Young
You might hate following instructions on how to do something, but there’s no avoiding them. Training on everything from how to drive a car to read an X-ray starts with explicit instructions — whether verbal or written, as the authors of a new paper in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance point out. In fact, Luke Rosedahl at UC, Santa Barbara and colleagues write, “This practice is so widely accepted that scholarship primarily focuses on how to provide instructions, not whether these instructions help or not.” Now the team reports that for learning how to do well...

Vocal Biomarkers: New Opportunities in Prevention
Vocal biomarkers have amazing potential in reforming diagnostics. As certain diseases, like those affecting the heart, lungs, vocal folds or the brain can alter a person’s voice, artificial intelligence (A.I.)-based voice analyses provide new horizons in medicine. Using biomarkers for diagnosis and remote monitoring can also be used for COVID-screening. So is it possible to diagnose illnesses from the sound of your voice?
Let’s have a look at where this technology stands today.

3D Blood Vessel Map Reveals Location of Stem Cells
Scientists at Johns Hopkins used a combination of molecular labeling and imaging techniques to create a three-dimensional map of the blood vessels in the mouse skull. Their approach also reveals niches where stem cell populations lurk, which could help researchers to understand how blood vessels and cells behave in various states of disease or injury. The researchers are interested in tissue engineering to replace lost bone, and their new methodology could allow them to understand how interventions to repair bone defects in the skull, such as biomaterial implants, are working.

An open letter to radiologists from a jilted orthopedic surgeon
This article is satire. As an orthopedic surgeon, it has always been clear that our specialties benefit from a somewhat symbiotic relationship. We feed you patients, and you often return the favor by providing us with the needed confirmation to operate. However, I feel as though there is a deepening rift between our two specialties.Read more …An open letter to radiologists from a jilted orthopedic surgeon originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Fish-Shaped Microrobots to Deliver Chemotherapy to Tumors
Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, working with outside collaborators, have developed shape-shifting microrobots that are designed to be guided to a target area in the body using magnets, and then release a drug cargo in response to the local environment. The application that the researchers have pursued involves guiding the microrobots to a solid tumor using magnets outside the body, and then the tumor’s naturally acidic microenvironment stimulates a shape change, resulting in the local release of a chemotherapy drug.
Researchers are devising a variety of cunning ways to de...

A woman in her 60s with syncope and vomiting. Does she need a pacemaker?
Written by Pendell Meyers with some edits by Steve SmithA woman in her 60s on chemotherapy presented to the Emergency Department for a syncopal episode just prior to arrival. She was walking to the bathroom when she suddenly felt nauseous and passed out. EMS was called by the patient ' s daughter, and en route to the ED she vomited twice. On arrival to the ED, she adamantly denies chest pain but says she ' s " just still not feeling well. " She had no prior known cardiac disease.Triage at 0755:The rhythm is most either atrial fibrillation with complete heart block and resulting junctional escape, or atrial flutter wi...

Personalized Exosuit Uses Ultrasound to Adapt to User ’s Needs
At Harvard University a team of scientists and engineers developed an exosuit that uses ultrasound to measure muscle activity. The capability allows for rapid calibration of the suit for users’ needs. The soft wearable device continuously assists when walking or running, reducing the energy required to perform these tasks, which could be very useful for patients with neurological issues or muscular dystrophy. By directly measuring muscle dynamics, the suit provides activity- and user-specific assistance, bringing such wearable technologies a step closer to fruition.
Wearable ‘exosuits’ have significant potenti...
