Volunteer as a Peer Reviewer for NIGMS!
NIGMS supports a wide range of research, training, workforce development, and institutional capacity building grants in the biomedical sciences. While NIH’s Center for Scientific Review reviews the majority of our investigator-initiated research grants (read our post on NIGMS RPGs), NIGMS has its own scientific review branch (SRB) that manages the review of applications to programs in workforce development and in research capacity building (past posts on training and capacity building provide more information). These programs often require reviewers with unique experiences, in addition to scientific or technical expertis...

Why Managing Mobile Devices at Scale Matters in Healthcare
Healthcare organizations are increasingly reliant on mobile devices for daily operations, enabling tasks that range from clinical communications to electronic record access.

Medical school gap year: Why working as a medical assistant is perfect
The words “gap year” are enough to panic any high-achieving premedical student with their heart set on matriculating straight into medical school. Many students feel like a gap year will set them back in their journey to become a doctor, adding more years to the ever-long path to an MD behind their name.

Sunday Sermonette: Weird Theology
Now we say goodbye to Asaph, and start what was evidently originally a new hymnal. " Gittith " is probably a musical instrument, but it could be a tune. The meaning is unknown. Anway, whenever these were composed, they aren ' t monotheistic. In psalm 84, Yahweh is the " God of gods " in verse 7, and otherwise the " Lord of hosts, " referring to an assemblage of god over which Yahweh is supreme. Psalm 85 is another of those that refers to some unspecified time in which the nation is afflicted and God seems to have withdrawn his favor. It does not seem to refer to the Babylonian exile, however, because the people seem s...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 25th 2024
This study also reports the expansion of satellite cells in human muscle with CR. This finding is critical to suggest translational relevance to the rodent data observed for more than a decade. Moreover, the increased expression of the plasminogen receptor Plg-RKT observed on human satellite cells during CR provided additional support for the theory that our rodent model is relevant to human biology. « Back to Top Interesting Insight into the Relationship Between TP53, Telomerase, and Telomere Length https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2024/03/interesting-insight-into-the-relationship-between-t...

Palpitations and presyncope in a 40-something
Discussion: Putting all of the information together this patient is most likely suffering from arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) better known as ARVC. The medical hx is typical, with sudden onset tachydysrhythmia during physical exertion. It is not uncommon for the initial presentation to be sudden cardiac death (SCD). In fact it is one of the leading causes of SCD in people age less than 40 years. Thus it is very important to identify this disorder. AC is a disease in which myocardium is replaced by fibrofatty tissue. This usually and predominantly affects the RV free wall and apical regions, but it can affect the left v...

Medical Economics
Sorry for missing a couple of days, been bizzy. Anyway, to continue with our trashing of the " discipline " of economics (which is actually more a branch of theology than a science),it should be obvious that Medicine exists in a world even less like Economics 101 than most industries. To begin with, while our basic needs for food, clothing and shelter are predictable and roughly similar for everyone, our need for medical services is largely unpredictable, and it varies radically from person to person and time to time. Some people go for decades without really needing any at all, although there are some preventive measures ...

Voice-to-Billing Ambient Clinical Voice at Medvise.AI
The ambient voice solution at Medvise.AI focuses on the revenue cycle. According to CEO Gautamdev Chowdary, they have trained their voice-to-text transcription on medical input and made it extremely accurate with full automation. They have also achieved 100% accuracy in billing through a few extra features. If the conversation did not provide enough information to assign the best ICD or CPT codes, the service asks a few simple questions of the doctor after the visit. The codes can then be assigned and stored in the medical record within 30 seconds. COO Sean Ross says that a doctor who does not want to take time to review t...
