In this study, researchers gathered a diverse group of participants; 43 percent were Black, and 68 percent were women. They also considered factors such as age and insurance status when drawing conclusions.The study occurred through a clinical trial, where all participants were randomly assigned to have their next visit occur through either phone or video-based platforms. The central unit of measurement was visit satisfaction rate, reported on a ten-point scale. Researchers noted noninferiority data based on whether patient satisfaction between the telehealth methods exceeded a -15 percent margin.-----https://www.theverge....

Women, partner violence and pain
As the potential for greater repression of women’s autonomy grows (Afghanistan, United States, Mexico), along with racist and misogynist statements from business leaders (DGL CEO Simon Henry) it’s timely to look at pain in women. We already know that more women than men present with persistent pain (Blyth, n.d.), while women who are seen for their pain are more often misdiagnosed, offered psychiatric medication or psychological intervention only and have their experiences dismissed as “hysterical, fabricated, or nonexistent” (Samulowitz, et al., 2018). My daughter, when attending Emergency Departmen...

Peek into the Future of Hospitals: Smart Design, Technologies and Our Homes
A simple, round table with a desktop computer and a projector, where the patient and the doctor have their friendly chat. Whenever an examination is necessary, they cross the “blue line” in the room indicating the “boundaries of the clinic” elegantly. It’s definitely not rocket science, but the patient satisfaction index is soaring. What’s the secret?

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 2nd 2016
This study is the first CAR T-cell trial to infuse patients with an even mixture of two types of T cells (helper and killer cells, which work together to kill cancer). With the assurance that each patient gets the same mixture of cells, the researchers were able to come to conclusions about the effects of administering different doses of cells.
In 27 of 29 participants whose responses were evaluated a few weeks after the infusion, a high-sensitivity test could detect no trace of their cancer in their bone marrow. The CAR T cells eliminated cancers anywhere in the body they appeared. Of the two participants who did n...

Additional calls were provided on the basis of symptom records.

Hopefully we can now stop doing LP ’ s to rule out SAH if CT scan performed within 6 hours of onset
The Canadian study by Perry et al just published in the BMJ studied 3132 patients with worst ever headache across 11 ED’s between 2000-2009 of which 240 (7.7%) had subarachnoid haemorrhage.
CT scanning overall had a sensitivity of 93% for detecting SAH, but if done within 6 hours of onset of headache and interpreted by an experienced radiologist, the sensitivity rose to 100% picking up ALL 121 patients with SAH of the 953 patients scanned within 6 hours.
Looks like its time to modify our practices as long as we have access to experienced radiologists – overnight may be an issue when such access may not be readi...
