The Sweet Spot of Health Care Cost Containment
BY BEN WHEATLEY As health care continues to move in the direction of unaffordability, policy makers are considering a range of options to bring down health care costs. The Health Affairs Committee on Health Care Spending and Value has identified four broad areas for reform, including administrative savings, price regulation and supports for competition, spending growth targets, and value-based payment. These measures appropriately target health care’s supply side and the excesses that exist in the health care system. In this blog, I would like to highlight another avenue for savings: one that focuses on the demand ...

The Business Reality of Healthcare AI
BY KIM BELLARD I was at the barbershop the other day and overheard one barber talking with his senior citizen customer about when – not if – robot AIs would become barbers. I kid you not. Now, I don’t usually expect to heard conversations about technology at the barber, but it illustrates that I think we are at the point with AI that we were with the Internet in the late ‘90’s/early ‘00s: people’s lives were just starting to change because of it, new companies were jumping in with ideas about how to use it, and existing companies knew they were going to have to figure out ways to incorporate it if they ...

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?

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...

Triggering the STING Pathway Suppresses Cancer Metastasis
Most cancers would become manageable if metastasis could be eliminated. A robust way to fully suppress metastasis across all forms of cancer would not be a cure in and of itself, but it would greatly reduce mortality and allow cancers to be managed or eliminated more readily, and with less trauma for the patient. On the way to a hypothetical end to metastasis, researchers are making inroads towards approaches that may at least reduce metastasis to some degree. These approaches often, as here, involve ways to enlist the immune system to more aggressively target and destroy metastatic cells before they can build a new tumor....
