On the RISE: Joshua and Caleb Marceau Use NIGMS Grant to Jump-Start Their Research Careers
A college degree was far from the minds of Joshua and Caleb Marceau growing up on a small farm on the Flathead Indian Reservation in rural northwestern Montana. Their world centered on powwows, tending cattle and chicken, fishing in streams, and working the 20-acre ranch their parents own. Despite their innate love of learning and science, the idea of applying to and paying for college seemed out of reach. Then, opportunities provided through NIGMS, mentors, and scholarships led them from a local tribal college to advanced degrees in biomedical science. Today, both Joshua and Caleb are Ph.D.-level scientists working to imp...

Indigenous Medicine – From Illegal to Integral
Brooke Warren Phuoc Le By PHUOC LE, MD and BROOKE WARREN In the 2020 Summer Olympics, we will undoubtedly see large, red circles down the arms and backs of many Olympians. These spots are a side-effect of cupping, a treatment originating from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to reduce pain. TCM is a globally used Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), but it still battles its critics who think it is only a belief system, rather than a legitimate medical practice. Even so, the usage of TCM continues to grow. This led the National Institute of Health (NIH) to sponsor a meeting in 1997 to determine...

Ischemic cardiomyopathy: Why is it, still searching for a definition?
The term Ischemic cardiomyopathy(ICM)  was originally coined by Dr. Burch from Tulane University, New Orleans, USA in 1970. For many decades there was skepticism regarding the existence of such entity. WHO classification over the years never included this term. ESC working group of 2008  (Elliott P,  European Heart 29(2):270–276) decided not to include CAD as a cause for cardiomyopathy. Even the current MOGES system doesn’t invoke CAD as a cause for cardiomyopathy.  But, I am sure, most of practicing cardiologists would agree, there is a need for such an entity. Why there is much reluctance to diagnose Ische...

It has been a rough news day for government-run health care. But not nearly so rough as government-run health care has been to its victims.First,  The Washington Post reports on the matter of Robert Morris Levy, a former pathologist at the Veterans Health Admininstration hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas who repeatedly showed up for work intoxicated and who “VA officials say…made 3,000 errors or misdiagnoses dating to 2005.” Levy showed up for work one day with a blood alcohol level of 0.4 percent, five times Arkansas’ legal limit. He misdiagnosed patients who actually had cancer and whose cancers spread untreat...

What should you do if your blood pressure medication has been recalled?
Over the past several months, you may have heard that the FDA has recalled certain lots of angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) medications due to the presence of impurities. These contaminants — nitrosamine impurities — may occur as a byproduct of the manufacturing process. They include N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) and N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), which can potentially cause cancer. These substances are found in the environment as well in meats, dairy products, and water, but their presence in medications is not acceptable. Therefore, the FDA sets acceptable safety limits on the presence of these impurities in drug...

The best medical AI research (that you probably haven ’t heard of)
In this study, they performed invasive medical procedures on patients because of the output of an AI system. Before you get all “of course they did, it was China, something something safety standards”**, I want to be clear – they did exactly what needs to be done to show that a system is safe. After you do your performance testing and get promising results, you need to actually test what happens in practice. This is right. This is good. A colonoscopy AI in a clinic doesn’t just make a visual decision. It (with the endoscopist) decides who needs a biopsy. If your testing doesn’t include actually doing the bi...

10 Outstanding Companies for Women ’s Health
The women’s health technology or so-called femtech market has been on the rise for the last couple of years, but it has mainly revolved around fertility and pregnancy.

Here’s our guide to 10 outstanding companies in women’s health. The women’s hea...

For American Indians, Health is a Human and Legal Right
Sam Aptekar Phuoc Le By PHUOC LE, MD and SAM APTEKAR Most will be surprised to learn that American Indians and Alaska Natives represent the only populations in the United States with a legal birthright to health care.[1] Even though Article 25 of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares, “everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including…medical care and necessary social services,” U.S. federal policy only guarantees this human right to enrolled tribal members. The source of this juridical entitlement ...
