Reading Our Minds: New book issues strong call to action to modernize psychiatry
The Rise of Big Data Psychiatry (The Wall Street Journal): As a physician, I need to figure out three things when a new patient walks into my office: what their life is typically like, what has changed that made them seek treatment and what I can do to help them. It’s a complex problem, and most fields of medicine approach it by taking measurements. If I were a cardiologist evaluating a patient’s chest pain, for instance, I would speak with the patient, but then I would listen to their heart and measure their pulse and blood pressure. I might order an electrocardiogram or a cardiac stress test, tools that weren’t ava...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 12th 2021
In conclusion, the MR exhibited the protective effects against age-related behavioral disorders, which could be partly explained by activating circulating FGF21 and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, and consequently suppressing the neuroinflammation and oxidative damages. These results demonstrate that FGF21 can be used as a potential nutritional factor in dietary restriction-based strategies for improving cognition associated with neurodegeneration disorders.

Transpulmonary gradient and diastolic pressure gradient
In this study, elevated preoperative transpulmonary gradient was associated with significant increase in mortality at 6 months and 12 months after orthotopic heart transplantation. Elevated transpulmonary gradient is a risk factor for right heart failure after heart transplantation. Jahanyar J et al queried the UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) database from 1987 to 2017 and included adults who had complete transpulmonary gradient data. Those who underwent retransplant were excluded. Their sample consisted of 38,243 patients. It was found that median survival was higher in low transpulmonary gradient group (145 month...

Phenocopies of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by hypertrophy of the left ventricle, not related to load. It is a genetically transmitted condition. There are several mimickers of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which can be called phenocopies of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Conventional form of HCM has been called sarcomeric HCM as it is due to mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins [1]. Here is a small list of phenocopies of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which is not truly exhaustive: Fabry disease Danon disease PRKAG2 Cardiomyopathy Pompe disease Cardiac amyloidosis Athlete’s heart Hypertensive heart disease ...

Why didn ’ t you try ECMO for my dad , doctor ? I feel really guilty !
It is just past midnight: This is a gloomy conversation between a patient’s son and a cardiologist in the silent waiting room, just outside the dim-lit ICU of a popular 4-star hospital in Chennai. “I am sorry to say, Mr. B., your father didn’t make it. Has succumbed to the heart attack. We have been trying to resuscitate him for the past one hour. We have done everything. We have managed to open up IRA, and 2 more critical blocks still it couldn’t help. It was a massive one. Sorry again. “Doctor, I feel very bad. What went wrong, I want to know. Doc, did you try ECMO ?,” the ...

Need to Choose a Doctor? What Does AI Think About the Choices?
By ZEESHAN SYED Tens of millions of Americans rely on consumer experience apps to help them find the best new restaurant or the right hairdresser. But while relying on customer opinion might make sense for figuring out where to get dinner tonight, when it comes to picking which doctor is best for you, AI might be more trustworthy than the wisdom of the crowd. Consumer apps provide us with rich data categories that often take into account preferences, from location to free wi-fi, to help users narrow down choices. Navigating your health insurer’s network of physicians is a different proposition, and some of the popu...

ECMO – Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
ECMO – extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ECMO – Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation – has been in use for the past four decades to support persons who are unlikely to survive with mechanical ventilation. ECMO is used in both adult and pediatric practice, though in the initial years, use of ECMO was restricted to pediatric intensive care. The enthusiasm for use of ECMO in adults have been triggered by the beneficial effect noted during the last H1N1 influenza pandemic [1]. In contrast from cardiopulmonary bypass which is used for a short period during cardiac surgery, ECMO is used to support for a ...

If EF% is a most flawed LV functional parameter,.. why we Insist HF to be classified based on it ?
Heart failure has been classified in many ways, with prevailing levels of our knowledge and ignorance. It is based on a variety of factors like rapidity of onset, etiology, chambers involved, hemodynamics, etc.  Forward vs backward failure Acute vs chronic failure RV/LV or Biventicular failure  Systolic vs diastolic heart failure High output vs low out failure Ischemic vs non-ischemic failure  Reversible vs Refractory HF  None of them have really helped at the bedside though it helped us understand the condition. Now, in the last decade, we have crash-landed on our favorite obsession to classify HF ie based...
