How Omnichannel Messaging Can Solve Headaches for Healthcare Communications
The following is a guest article by Sandro Stupar, Product Management Director at Mitto.
Navigating the healthcare system in America can be byzantine and time-consuming. Despite the many advances in telehealth, mobile apps and walk-in health clinics, patients and caregivers frequently find themselves waiting (often impatiently) in long phone queues to make an appointment, renew a prescription or obtain lab results. There should be a better way.
There is. Increasingly, medical providers are borrowing from the classical marketing playbook and weaving omnichannel messaging into their communications. And, just as it has in o...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 13th 2023
This study investigated whether taller Polish adults live longer than their shorter counterparts. Data on declared height were available from 848,860 individuals who died in the years 2004-2008 in Poland. To allow for the cohort effect, the Z-values were generated. Separately for both sexes, Pearson's r coefficients of correlation were calculated. Subsequently, one way ANOVA was performed.
The correlation between adult height and longevity was negative and statistically significant in both men and women. After eliminating the effects of secular trends in height, the correlation was very weak (r = -0.0044 in men and ...

Healthcare AI and Overwhelming Projects – Fun Friday
We’ve had such an incredible start to 2023 with so much great health IT content, that there hasn’t been any space for our regular editions of Fun Friday. However, we’re going to correct that today. For those not familiar with Fun Friday, it’s a time where we share something funny to hopefully start your weekend off right. Plus, it often highlights some of the absurdity and challenges in healthcare IT. Here we go.
This is too funny. It does make you wonder what the future for AI and bots looks like. Lots to think about there and the innovation is accelerating as it usually does. What’s...

Viral Infection in Middle Age Correlates with Later Dementia Risk
A range of evidence suggests that persistent viral infection contributes to the risk of suffering neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. This may be due to mechanisms relating to amyloid-β accumulation, in its role as an anti-microbial peptide, a part of the innate immune system. It may have more to do with lasting chronic inflammation subsequent to infection. Researchers here note another addition to the epidemiological data on this topic, in this case linking severe infections requiring hospitalization with later dementia risk. The effect sizes here are large and last for a long time following infecti...

Dear Patient, If You Have to Treat a Cold, Know This:
BY HANS DUVEFELT
Americans hate being sick. There are too many cold medicines out there to remember by name. But there are really only a handful of different drug classes to consider.
In order to choose any one of them, be clear about what you want to accomplish. It’s actually very simple.
1) Make my cold go away faster: Zink, echinacea, visualization/manifesting, sauna, prayer (may be mostly placebo effect ).
2) Stop my nose from running (including post nasal drip): You’ll want the crud to leave your body as soon as possible, so turning off the drain pipe that your nose has become can increase the risk of ...

COVID-19 myocarditis illusions: A new cardiac MRI study raises questions about the diagnosis
BY ANISH KOKA
One of the hallmarks of the last two years has been the distance that frequently exists between published research and reality. I’m a cardiologist, and the first disconnect that became glaringly obvious very quickly was the impact COVID was having on the heart. As I walked through COVID rooms in the Spring of 2020 trying to hold my breath, I waited for a COVID cardiac tsunami. After all social media had been full of videos from Wuhan and Iran of people suddenly dropping in the streets. My hyperventilating colleagues made me hyperventilate. Could it be that Sars-COV2 had some predilection for heart...

Aging as a Disease: a Zoo Contains Animals, But is Not Itself an Animal
The author of today's open access commentary is quite prolifically opinionated on the topic of mTOR and its status as a central pillar of programmed aging, particularly the hyperfunction version of programmed aging theories. Nonetheless, he sometimes has interesting things to say, as is the case here on the topic of whether aging is a disease. A great deal of ink has been spilled of late on the question of whether or not aging is a disease. This is the case not because everyone suddenly developed an interest in semantics, but rather because it directly affects the regulation of medical development, and thus the flow of fun...

Parents Still Poached of Baby Formula While Egg Supply Is Turning Sunny Side Up
Scott Lincicome,Gabriella Beaumont-Smith, and Alfredo Carrillo ObregonReports last Friday broke that the Department of Justice (DOJ) hasopened an investigation into potential criminal conduct at the Michigan factory at the center of the “nationwide infant formula shortage” that lasted for most of 2022. Whether laws were broken at the Abbott Laboratories plant is a matter for the DOJ, but we’re confident that the investigators won’t discover the real source of last year’s problems: federal policy.As we explain in new Catobriefing paper, the Michigan plant closure surely put a major dent in U.S. infant formula p...

Fighting the Wrong (Culture) War
By KIM BELLARD
News flash from the culture wars: they’re coming to take our gas stoves!
Well, actually, “they” are not, but the kind of people who got alarmed about it are a threat to our health, and to theirs.
The gas stove furor started with a Bloomberg News interview that Richard Trumka, Jr, a Consumer Product Safety Commission commissioner. “This is a hidden hazard,” he said. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
He was referring to the well known but little acknowledged fact that gas stoves emit various pollutants, especially nitrogen dioxide. Last ye...

Some thoughts on where we are with Covid-19
I hesitated to show you this graphic because it might lead to unwarranted complacency, but I ' ll show it to get it over with and then discuss. (Source:Worldometer) Basically, the death rate has held pretty steady since last April, at around 400 a day. That ' s obviously well below the previous peaks, but I don ' t think people would tolerate it from any other readily preventable cause. However, deaths are a lagging indicator and the CDC is reporting a widespread increase in cases around the country. Again, not a major spike like last March but we don ' t know where it ' s going yet. New strains are h...

One family ’s disastrous experience with a growth-driven long-term care company
by “E-PATIENT” DAVE DEBRONKART
Continuing THCB’s occasional series on actual experiences with the health care system. This is the first in a short series about a patient and family experience from one of America’s leading ePatients.
I’ve been blogging recently about what happens in American healthcare when predatory investor-driven companies start moving into care industries because the money’s good and enforcement is lax. The first two posts were about recent articles in The New Yorker on companies that are more interested in sales and growth than caring. I now have permission ...

Reducing Viral Spread in Schools: France Makes Proactive Move to Measure and Reduce CO2 Levels in School and Daycare
One of my favorite gadgets from the pandemic is the AraNet 4 CO2 monitor. I carry it with me whenever I am curious about an indoor space. This easy-to-use monitor gives a simple red-yellow-green reading of the CO2 level. At a green level (<1000 ppm) it is harder to transmit an airborne viral infection. At a red level (>1400 ppm) it is much easier to catch a virus if someone else in the room is sick.
I use this in restaurants and on airplanes, for instance, to help guide my actions.
As a bonus, CO2 levels also correlate with alertness and productivity. When CO2 levels drift into the yellow range (>1000 ppm), cognit...
