Clinical radiology workforce census 2022
The Royal College of Radiologists -This survey secured a 100 per cent response rate with every single cancer centre head and clinical director of radiology departments responding. The report demonstrates the scale of workforce shortages in diagnostic and cancer departments across the country and the devastating impact on cancer patients. It is published alongside theoncology workforce census results.ReportThe Royal College of Radiologists - news

Surveying Laboratory Tests From a Health IT Perspective
We read that “70% of today’s medical decisions depend on laboratory test results,” according to the CDC. This three-part series looks at modern tests from a health IT perspective. How can we make them more accurate and delivery faster results? Which ones can we move into the home? How do we eliminate wasteful, unnecessary tests? This first article offer an overview of tests and their context. Overview of Testing Gerry Miller, founder and CEO of Cloudticity, classifies the value of a test by several factors: How easy is the test to acquire? How complex is the test to administer? How much does it cost? Most im...

The Gut Microbiome Differs in Characteristic Ways in Patients with Precancerous Colon Polyps
The gut microbiome changes with age, the relative abundance of microbial populations shifting in ways that appear connected to chronic inflammation and dysfunction of the intestinal epithelium and intestinal barrier function. Cancer of the colon is an important cause of human mortality, and there is some hope that finding ways to prevent or reverse gut microbiome aging, such as via fecal microbiota transplant from young individuals, will go some way to minimizing colon cancer incidence. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S., and rates of colorectal cancer are rising amon...

An Example of In Silico Drug Screening for Senolytic Compounds
The average small molecule drug development program starts with a mechanism, an intended outcome such as inhibition, and then screening of as many molecules as possible from the libraries. Sometimes it is possible to make educated guesses as to what types of molecule are more likely to be useful, but often screening must be very broad and with little direction. In principle, low cost computation makes it possible to dramatically reduce the cost of discovery of useful molecules given a specific target mechanism. This shift from physical to in silico screening has been underway for a while, for example at Insilico Medicine, ...

Matthew ’s health care tidbits: Hedge Funds that Do Health Care on the Side
Each time I send out the THCB Reader, our newsletter that summarizes the best of THCB (Sign up here!) I include a brief tidbits section. Then I had the brainwave to add them to the blog. They’re short and usually not too sweet! –Matthew Holt Lots of news about bad behavior in health care this week, with real shots about patient & staff safety at home care company Papa, and Grail misinforming 400 people that they had cancer. But the prize for tone deafness this week comes from another very well funded health care provider system being heartless to its poorest patients.  This week it’s Allina, a Minn...

In conclusion, higher BMR might reduce lifespan. The underlying pathways linking to major causes of death and relevant interventions warrant further investigation. Betting Against Progress Turns Out Poorly, But Can Work in the Short Term in a Slow Field https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/06/betting-against-progress-turns-out-poorly-but-can-work-in-the-short-term-in-a-slow-field/ Setting oneself up as a spokesperson for "we will not achieve this goal", as the fellow noted here is choosing to do, is a bet against technological progress.

Proposed USPSTF guideline update: Advocating for earlier breast cancer screening at age 40
Pop Quiz: At what age do medical experts recommend women of average risk for breast cancer begin receiving screening mammograms? 40 45 50 All of the above. If you answered “D,” you are correct. Confused? I don’t blame you. Medical societies and independent task forces do not agree on when to begin or end screening Read more… Proposed USPSTF guideline update: Advocating for earlier breast cancer screening at age 40 originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

The rising threat of lung cancer in Asian American female nonsmokers
“It’s adenocarcinoma,” said the voice on the other end of the phone. I couldn’t believe it. “Lung cancer? Me? How could that be? I’ve never smoked!” Shock, disbelief, and disappointment filled all the nooks and crannies of my mind and heart. In January 2021, I went to my PCP after developing a nagging dry cough Read more… The rising threat of lung cancer in Asian American female nonsmokers originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Evidence-based hope in diabetes
In this study, the people with type 2 diabetes who didn’t have any of those extra risk factors, they’re likely to have had their first heart attack was less than people who didn’t have diabetes.So again, it’s only one study. I don’t want to overstate it, but the purpose of this is to say this is what’s possible. With good care, decent care, odds are pretty good, you can do well. And again, live a long and healthy life. So, evidence-based hope. Guys, what do you think?  Scott K. Johnson: I mean, that looks wonderfu...

More Evidence That Opioid Policymakers Keep Aiming at the Wrong Target
Jeffrey A. SingerA new study released earlier this year adds more evidence to the mountains of evidence that policymakers trying to solve the overdose crisis have been aiming at the wrong target.Researchers from the Dartmouth University School of Medicine recently published in theAnnals of Surgery the results of a  prospective clinical trial of 221 opioid naïve surgical patients prescribed opioids at discharge and followed for one year after surgery. Eighty‐​eight percent of the patients had cancer‐​related operations. Their surgeons prescribed opioids for pain control when they discharged them home from the hosp...

Clinical Examination of Cardiovascular System For Medical Students
Discussion on blood pressure is not included here as a separate topic is dedicated to it. Though the most commonly examined pulse is the radial, to check some of the characteristics, a more proximal pulse like the brachial or carotid needs to be examined. Following parameters of the pulse are routinely documented: 1. The rate: Normal rate in adult is 60-100 per minute. It is higher in children. Younger the child, higher the pulse rate. Rhythm: Regular and irregular rhythms are possible. Mild variation with respiration is called respiratory sinus arrhythmia, with higher rate in inspiration. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia may...
