Weekly Overseas Health IT Links – 15th October, 2022.
This article uses the one that divides providers into groups depending on the life cycle stage the clinic is at the given moment. According to this classification, medical providers fall into three groups:BeginnersGrowing clinicsWell-established providersHealth care providers are business entities, so their life cycle, like that of any business, consists of the early stage or launch, growth and maturity. At each stage, providers have different priorities and goals, and the choice of medical software solutions should be made accordingly.Medical software for beginnersThe launch phase can be tough. At this stage, the profits ...

Is first degree heart block dangerous? Cardiology Basics
PR interval is measured from the onset of P wave to the onset of QRS complex. It includes the P wave and the PR segment. Normal PR interval is from 120 to 200 ms. If it is prolonged, it is called as first degree atrioventricular (AV) block. PR interval is the time taken for activation of the atria and conduction of the impulses down to the ventricles and initiate activation of the ventricles. This includes the physiological delay in conduction at the AV node. The delay allows complete emptying of the atria before the ventricles start contracting. The atrial help to ventricular filling acts like an atrial booster at the en...

What is myocardial viability assessment? Cardiology Basics
Myocardial viability means regions of myocardium which can recover its function if the blood supply is normalized. Viable myocardium will improve after restoring blood supply while non-viable myocardium will not. So myocardial viability assessment is important in deciding whether the person will benefit from revascularization procedures like coronary angioplasty and coronary bypass surgery. There are two types of viable myocardium, stunned myocardium and hibernating myocardium. Stunned myocardium needs only time to recover while hibernating myocardium needs restoration of blood supply. Stunned myocardium is transient dela...

What is dobutamine stress echocardiography? Cardiology Basics
Usual stress test for the heart is exercise ECG in which serial ECG recordings are done during a graded exercise protocol, usually on a treadmill. There are certain conditions like left bundle branch block in which an exercise ECG becomes uninterpretable. Some persons are unable to exercise on a treadmill due to illness or disability. In such situations dobutamine infusion is given instead of exercise, to increase heart rate and myocardial contractility, thereby increasing the workload of myocardium. Echocardiograms are taken then to assess the response of the myocardium to stress. This is known as dobutamine stress echoc...

What type of devices should a person with a pacemaker be cautious about? Cardiology Basics
Artificial pacemakers are cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) which give tiny electrical signals to the heart when the heart’s own pacemaker is not functioning well. Sinus node is the natural pacemaker of the heart, located in the upper part of right atrium near the orifice of superior vena cava. Pacemakers may also be used when the impulses from the sinus node are not conducted well to the ventricles in complete atrioventricular block. Pacing for bradycardia can be with single chamber or dual chamber pacemakers, depending on the indication for pacing. Dual chamber pacemakers are AV sequential pacemakers which...

5 Scenarios Of How Your Health Data Can Be (Or Was Already) Stolen
I really don’t want to sound like Aunt Karen, suspecting a culprit hiding behind every bush, but chances are your health data was or will be stolen. This is a strong statement and might sound paranoid. But, as the old joke goes: being paranoid doesn’t mean someone is not after you.  Here we will introduce five general scenarios of how unknown third-party actors can access your health data without your knowledge (and consent). We introduce these to paint a clearer picture of how medical data can change hands and help you prepare to avoid it – as much as possible. You had a genetic test done You o...

Weekly Overseas Health IT Links –10th September, 2022.
This article is adapted fromVoices in the Code: A Story About People, Their Values, and the Algorithm They Made,out Sept. 8 from Russell Sage Foundation Press.In May 2021, I got a call I never expected. I was working on abook about A.I. ethics, focused on the algorithm that gives out kidneys to transplant patients in the United States. Darren Stewart —a data scientist from UNOS, the nonprofit that runs the kidney allocation process—was calling to get my take: How many decimal places should they include when calculating each patient’s allocation score? The score is an incredibly important number, given it determines w...

Weekly Overseas Health IT Links –27th August 2022.
In this study, researchers gathered a diverse group of participants; 43 percent were Black, and 68 percent were women. They also considered factors such as age and insurance status when drawing conclusions.The study occurred through a clinical trial, where all participants were randomly assigned to have their next visit occur through either phone or video-based platforms. The central unit of measurement was visit satisfaction rate, reported on a ten-point scale. Researchers noted noninferiority data based on whether patient satisfaction between the telehealth methods exceeded a -15 percent margin.-----https://www.theverge....

Cardiac Holography : Lets get ready to welcome, in our cath lab soon !
Medical science has evolved over 2000 years and moved far away, from the spiritual cure times at the temple of health at Kos islands to the Imaginations of Davicini. We are now in an era, where we can, not-only take stunning live photographs of individual organs but also go inside, assisted by  X RAYs, Ultrasound, CT  MRI, and Optical fiber. Now, a new kid is entering ie Holography. (We may expect haptics very soon).   How about a cardiologist operating with a virtual  3D beating heart hanging in front of him? Yes, it is possible in a scientific fiction movie . No. it’s real. True view,...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 20th 2022
This study showed a negative relationship between the gaps and the number of senescence cells. Moreover, we found a similar reduction in 30-month-old naturally and 7-month-old D-gal-induced aging rats. Given these consistent data from different eukaryotic organisms, it suggests that the Youth-DNA-GAP is a marker of phenotype-related aging degree Towards Scaffold-Based Regeneration of Dental Pulp https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/06/towards-scaffold-based-regeneration-of-dental-pulp/ Researchers are working towards the ability to regenerate the dental pulp inside teeth.
