A Hive Mind of Doctors Can Mean Better Care for Patients
If you’re like an unlucky 5% of American adults, you’ll visit a doctor with a medical complaint this year, only to be misdiagnosed and, often, misprescribed a treatment. If you’re like a far less lucky one of 100,000 hospitalized Americans, such a misdiagnosis will cost you your life. There are a lot of reasons for medical errors: inexperienced caregivers; ambiguous symptoms; understaffed hospitals, underlying conditions.

The Pandemic Made Masks Essential Household Items —Just in Time for Wildfire Smoke
It looked like 2020 on the streets of New York City this week, as many residents unearthed their pandemic masks to protect against air that smelled, tasted, and looked smoky due to raging wildfires in Canada.
Masking during periods of poor air quality is not a new concept, even in the U.S—but it used to be a novelty when it happened. “Everyone is staying indoors and the people who are outside are wearing masks of one kind or another. It’s totally weird to see. This is a creepy feeling,” a spokesperson from San Francisco General Hospital told NBC News when the 2018 Camp Fire compromised air quality t...

Black Patients May Be Underdiagnosed for Lung Problems Because of Software Bias
This study, published in JAMA Network Open, offers one of the first real-world examples of how the the issue may affect diagnosis and care for lung patients, said Dr. Darshali Vyas, a pulmonary care doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital.
[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]
The results are “exciting” to see published but it’s also “what we’d expect” from setting aside race-based calculations, said Vyas, who was an author of an influential 2020 New England Journal of Medicine article that catalogued examples of how race-based assumptions are used in making doctors’ decisi...

How Nutrition Education for Doctors Is Evolving
Dr. Jaclyn Albin still recalls learning about nutritional biochemistry while she was a student at The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. But by the time she graduated in 2009, nutrition’s relevance to disease states and patient care hadn’t been addressed.
“Historically, nutrition education has been mostly rooted in biochemistry, pathology, and physiology with nutrient-focused content,” says Albin, who’s now an internist and pediatrician in Texas. “For example, we would learn about vitamin C and how it impacts various pathways in the body, as well as wh...

Inside the Emerging Xylazine Addiction Crisis in the U.S.
Devin Bair, a 42-year-old Pennsylvania resident, had used opioids on-and-off for years, but she never experienced anything like xylazine. She first took it without knowing two years ago when it infiltrated her dealer’s supply, and she unknowingly became addicted to it. Xylazine, a veterinary tranquilizer that isn’t meant for use in humans, is an increasingly common adulterant pervading the U.S. illicit drug supply, but little is known about its effects on the human body or how to treat the intense withdrawal symptoms it causes.
Xylazine has taken a stronghold in Philadelphia, a city at the forefront of addictio...

There ’ s a 2-in-3 Chance World Briefly Hits 1.5 °C of Warming in Next 5 Years, U.N. Warns
This report does not mean that we will permanently exceed the 1.5C level specified in the Paris Agreement which refers to long-term warming over many years. However, WMO is sounding the alarm that we will breach the 1.5C level on a temporary basis with increasing frequency,” WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said in a statement.
“A single year doesn’t really mean anything,” Hermanson said. Scientists usually use 30-year averages.
Those 66% odds of a single year hitting that threshold in five years have increased from 48% last year, 40% the year before, 20% in 2020 and 10% about a decade ago. The ...
