Whatcom County (WA) Seeks Better, Cheaper Answer to 911 Call Centers
Robert Mittendorf
The Bellingham Herald (Bellingham, Wash.)
(MCT)
Dec. 15—Combining Whatcom County’s two 911 dispatch centers, whose operators separately send law-enforcement officers or firefighters to calls for service, is back on the County Council’s agenda.
It’s both logical and a cost-saving measure to combine the two 911 centers, said Councilman Tyler Byrd.
“I’ve been working on all the documentation I can find on this and talking to people. I can’t find a single efficiency that comes out of this the way it is today,” Byrd said during a No...

Hyper-acute EEG alterations predict functional and morphological outcomes in thrombolysis-treated ischemic stroke: a wireless EEG study
AbstractOwing to the large inter-subject variability, early post-stroke prognosis is challenging, and objective biomarkers that can provide further prognostic information are still needed. The relation between quantitative EEG parameters in pre-thrombolysis hyper-acute phase and outcomes has still to be investigated. Hence, possible correlations between early EEG biomarkers, measured on bedside wireless EEG, and short-term/long-term functional and morphological outcomes were investigated in thrombolysis-treated strokes. EEG with a wireless device was performed in 20 patients with hyper-acute (< 4.5 h from onset) ant...

3D Deep Neural Network Segmentation of Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Development and Validation for Clinical Trials
AbstractIntracranial hemorrhage (ICH) occurs when a blood vessel ruptures in the brain. This leads to significant morbidity and mortality, the likelihood of which is predicated on the size of the bleeding event. X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans allow clinicians and researchers to qualitatively and quantitatively diagnose hemorrhagic stroke, guide interventions and determine inclusion criteria of patients in clinical trials. There is no currently available open source, validated tool to quickly segment hemorrhage. Using an automated pipeline and 2D and 3D deep neural networks, we show that we can quickly and accurately ...

What ’s the Big Deal about Data in Medtech?
Discussion, “Top 5 Things You Need to Know about the Implantable Internet of Things."
Brian Chapman, partner and leader of ZS’s medtech practice of ZS, attributes today’s focus on data to the intersection of two important things:
"A general recognition that understanding more and connecting actions with outcomes will provide feedback and understanding that will drive standards of care. This is not new, but as capabilities rise in data collection, aggregation, and synthesize rise, and coupled with machine learning, the promise of data in healthcare is becoming even more ...

AI is a Big Part of Cleveland Clinic ’s 2019 MIS
CLEVELAND – Two words dominated much of the program agenda for Cleveland Clinic’s 2019 Medical Innovation Summit (MIS) on Tuesday – Artificial Intelligence.
From a keynote address from Craig Mundie, Senior Advisor to the CEO, and former Chief Research and Strategy Officer, Microsoft to a session discussing companies with non-traditional approaches to healthcare, the topic of AI was discussed.
But is AI just the latest fad in healthcare? Is it fully-defined? And are there real-world examples to look to, to see AI in action? Richard Zane, MD CIO of University of Colorado ...

Imaging of Acute Stroke
This article reviews the current state of imaging for acute ischemic stroke. Protocolized imaging acquisition using computed tomography in conjunction with coordinated stroke care allows for rapid diagnosis and prompt revascularization. Following the initial evidence to support endovascular therapy for large-vessel occlusion, published between 2014 and 2015, there are now guidelines supporting treatment up to 24 hours after time of onset of symptoms. Neuroimaging remains a central component in diagnosing acute stroke and potentially excluding patients from stroke treatment, as outlined in this article.

A “one-stop-shop” 4D CTA protocol using 320-row CT for advanced imaging in acute ischemic stroke: a technical note
AbstractThis technical note describes a novel CT scan protocol that includes a non-enhanced CT, dynamic CTA, and perfusion of the whole brain and CTA of the carotid arteries using a 320-row area detector CT scanner, with a unique contrast injection and acceptable radiation exposure dose in patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke. The acquisition parameters and reconstruction parameters will be discussed including the use of model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR), time summing (tMIP), and subtraction techniques to optimize the results of this protocol.Key Points• Scanning on a 320-row area detector CT can achi...
