There Needs to Be an “ AI ” in “ Med Ed ”
By KIM BELLARD
It took some time for the news to percolate to me, but last month the University of Texas San Antonio announced that it was creating the “nation’s first dual program in medicine and AI.” That sure sounds innovative and timely, and there’s no question that medical education, like everything else in our society, is going to have to figure out how to incorporate AI. But, I’m sorry to say, I fear UTSA is going about it in the wrong way.
UTSA has created a five year program that will result in graduates obtaining an M.D. from UT Health San Antonio and a Master of Science in Artificial Intelli...

Five Things Hospitals Should Do Immediately to Improve their Cybersecurity Posture
The following is a guest article by Jonathan Goldberger, Senior Vice President, Security Practices & Strategic Sales at TPx
Hospitals face the threat of cyberattacks daily and each attack threatens the hospital’s public brand and, worst of all, public health.
Because nearly every function at hospitals today is electronic, a cyberattack is crippling to the point where a provider can’t do anything. Even tasks such as sending a prescription to the pharmacy and ordering or reviewing X-rays are challenging amid a cyberattack.
It’s no secret that threat actors are targeting companies and organizations regardless of the...

Self-management, coping – or living with?
After a weekend relaxing by the beach, I’m once again pondering the nature of how people live well with persistent pain. It’s called variously ‘self-management’ or ‘coping’ or, in my life, ‘living with’ pain, and as I pointed out last week, it’s not well-defined. I’m not even sure that people with pain get a look-in at what to call these ‘ways of living’ because it’s typically an academic discussion that excludes the very people who are expected to comply with them!
That gripe aside, what’s wrong with the terms ‘coping’ or &#...

Claira Sohn Cultivates Neurons and Diversity in the STEM Community
Credit: Courtesy of Claira Sohn.
Claira Sohn credits her grandfather with sparking her interest in science. Although he never studied science at a 4-year university due to financial limitations, he took many community college classes and worked in chemistry labs developing products such as hair dyes and dissolvable stitches. “Every morning, my grandfather would take me to school, and we’d stop to get orange juice and a cookie and talk about science. When I was in elementary school, he bought me a book about quantum mechanics written for kids,” she says. “He inspired me to ask questions and encouraged me to go to ...

An Estrogen-Related Receptor Agonist Exercise Mimetic Performs Well in Mice
Researchers here demonstrate in mice an effective approach to mimicking some of the adaptive responses to exercise, and sustaining those responses over time. Exercise mimetics have undergone a sedate pace of development in comparison to the larger body of work on calorie restriction mimetics, intended to mimick some of the sweeping changes to metabolism that occur at low nutrient levels, and the field isn't yet as well established. Still, some interesting lines of work have emerged, such as the program noted here.
The new drug, known as SLU-PP-332, doesn't affect appetite or food intake. Nor does it cause mice to ...
