THCB Gang Episode 71, Nov 4
Joining Matthew Holt (@boltyboy) on THCBGang Thursday were fierce patient activist Casey Quinlan (@MightyCasey); cardiologist & provocateur Anish Koka (@anish_koka); patient activist, author & entrepreneur Robin Farmanfarmaian (@Robinff3); and THCB regular writer Kim Bellard (@kimbbellard).
We got into the “what are parents thinking about schools and what happens to politics as a result”, and then into the children’s COVID-19 vaccine, then how remote patient and now remote therapeutics monitoring, and ending with where we thought AI was going! Quite the conversation!

Addressing Immigration Doesn't End at the Border — Schools Need Help
All children in the United States have a right to a public education, regardless of their immigration status. But schools are not funded or staffed adequately to support a growing student population or to handle sudden surges in enrollment due to large numbers of displaced children arriving at the border.

Baseball And Machine Learning – How Baseball Helps Predict The Future?
I am a huge fan of data. It gives me solid ground and helps me be motivated – I even had an Excel Spreadsheet Experiment That Changed My Lifestyle. I’m also a huge sports geek, and I follow everything from curling to darts, from snooker to football – and during quarantine, I found the perfect brew of sports and data. Baseball.
I’m not kidding here. Watching and analysing baseball in fact made me get better at forecasting – and I’m going to show you how.
Data-based approach changed baseball
Baseball has always been at the forefront of using data-based metrics in evaluating games or players. But unti...

You Need a Cyber Team
By KIM BELLARD
Maybe you, like me, are an Olympics fan (in my case: Summer Games, track & field). Most Americans look forward eagerly to the Super Bowl, while the rest of the world (and, increasingly, many in the U.S.) are waiting for the World Cup. But too few of us are aware that next summer will be the inaugural International Cyber Security Challenge, an esports event that pits teams from multiple countries against each other in cybersecurity skills. The U.S. is sending a 25 person team.
So what, you might say? Well, if you work in healthcare (or any industry, for that matter), or use any kind of di...

Why pediatricians think about COVID differently
Earlier this summer, the American Academy of Pediatrics made recommendations that contrasted with those from the CDC, emphasizing the need to do everything possible to prevent COVID infection in children. Specifically, they recommended that even vaccinated adults who were around unvaccinated children in schools continue to mask indoors. This more conservative stance initially caused confusion,Read more …Why pediatricians think about COVID differently originally appeared inKevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

Health Tech And Smart Habitats For People With Special Needs
No matter whether it’s about the problems of ageing, vision, hearing, disabilities or other permanent conditions, modern urban environments or residential places often disregard people with special needs. Luckily, technology and smart design might offer solutions on how to make cities more accessible, more inclusive and entirely suited for everyone in the future.
Smart cities helping people with disabilities
According to the United Nations, by 2050 70% of the global population will live in cities, of which at least 15% will be people with disabilities. Moreover, 360 million people worldwide have moderate to pro...

How State Critical Race Theory Bans Could Trickle Down to the Classroom
Given widening achievement disparities in math and reading over the course of the pandemic, and potential blowback to teaching anything related to race or gender, avoiding any lessons on the experiences of women or people of color will be the path of least resistance in many schools. But discussing racism and sexism in a safe environment is crucial for students to become active, knowledgeable citizens. (Source: The RAND Blog)

Procaine as an Example of the Slow Reclassification of Known Small Molecule Drugs as Geroprotectors
The classification of "geroprotector" is fairly recent. In present use, it largely means a small molecule drug that can favorably target mechanisms known to be associated with aging. Some of these small molecules come with evidence for a slowing of aging in animal studies. A very few can boast evidence for the same from human trials. Most geroprotectors target stress response mechanisms, those involved in calorie restriction, but senotherapeutic drugs that reduce the burden of cellular senescence might also be classed as geroprotectors.
That a drug can be called geroprotective is no guarantee that it is actually use...
