Your Smartphone As The Swiss Knife Of Digital Health
7:39 a.m. That’s the time that your smartphone’s sonar deems as optimal for you to wake up today. With its gentle vibration from your bedside table, you pick it up to turn off the smart alarm. As you do so, your phone asks for your permission to use the built-in sensors and camera to run your routine morning scan. It analyzes your voice; evaluates your stress level based on a facial scan; checks your vital signs; and notifies you to take a picture of that mole on your forearm in order to detect any anomalies.
Thereafter, it outputs a comprehensible report with recommendations which you can send over to your ph...

Podcast: Hiding Panic Attacks in the Bathroom
At the thought of losing a job or missing a mortgage payment, Gabe is an anxious discombobulated mess, while Lisa is cool as a cucumber. In today’s Not Crazy podcast, Gabe and Lisa ponder: Why do people have such vastly different ways of reacting to the world? They also discuss — with the special flare that only a divorced couple has — the good old days when Gabe would have full-blown panic attacks and Lisa had to get them through it.
How did they handle these scary moments? Is it ever OK to feel anger toward the panicky person? And what if the panicky person accidentally causes harm — should...

Massachusetts Health Committee Makes History: Approves End of Life Options Bill for 1st Time since 2011 Introduction
On Friday afternoon, the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Public Health approved legislation that would authorize medical aid in dying as an end-of-life care option. This is the first time the committee approved such legislation since it was originally introduced
in 2011.
The Massachusetts End of Life Options
Act (H.1926 / S.1208), would give mentally capable, terminally ill individuals
with a prognosis of six months or less to live the option to request, obtain
and self-ingest medication to die peacefully in their sleep if their suffering
becomes unbearable.
“I can’t tell you how much this hist...

Can forest therapy enhance health and well-being?
According to this study, green spaces are restorative and boost attention, while viewing concrete worsens attention during tasks.
Finding a forest therapy guide
The Association of Nature and Forest Therapy trains and certifies forest therapy guides across the world. Guides help people forge a partnership with nature through a series of invitations that allow participants to become attentive to the forest, to deepen their relationship with nature, and allow the natural world to promote healing and well-being.
Ultimately, guides support what the forests have to offer us, inviting participants into practices that deepen physi...

Are You Experiencing Quarantine Brain?
Another term is being added to the lexicon in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic: quarantine brain. It takes many forms, from confusion and fogginess to limited executive functioning. Those who fall prey to it may find themselves unable to complete tasks, manage their time and routine, and make sound decisions. This occurs even if the person has no prior history with attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Some report a lack of motivation to get out of bed, let alone engage in their daily activities. What helps them is knowing that their boss, teachers, and family are counting on them to launch...

Alk Inhibitors to Slow Aging
A number of receptor tyrosine kinases are implicated in areas of metabolism known to influence the pace of aging in short-lived laboratory species. Researchers here investigate Alk, a receptor tyrosine kinase previously understudied in this context. It isn't clear that this will do any better as a basis for human therapies. In general this class of efforts to manipulate metabolism produces diminishing returns as species life span increases. Short-lived worms, flies, and mice exhibit a life span that can vary widely in response to environmental circumstances and changes in metabolism. We long-lived humans do not.

Looking past the pandemic: Could building on our willingness to change translate to healthier lives?
If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that people have the capacity to change entrenched behaviors when the stakes are high enough. Who among us declared that 2020 would be the year for us to perfect the practice of physical distancing? Although we were clueless about pandemic practices a mere three months ago, we’ve adopted this new habit to avoid getting or spreading the virus. But what about other unhealthy behaviors that have the potential to shorten life spans across the US? On January 1, 2020, some of us made New Year’s resolutions aimed at improving our health: to eat less, lose weight, exercis...

In conclusion, our study demonstrated that Nrf2 deficiency promoted the increasing trend of autophagy during aging in skeletal muscle. Nrf2 deficiency and increasing age may cause excessive autophagy in skeletal muscle, which can be a potential mechanism for the development of sarcopenia.

In conclusion, elevated brain amyloid was associated with family history and APOE ε4 allele but not with multiple other previously reported risk factors for AD. Elevated amyloid was associated with lower test performance results and increased reports of subtle recent declines in daily cognitive function. These results support the hypothesis that elevated amyloid represents an early stage in the Alzheimer's continuum.

Flipping the Stack: Can New Technology Drive Health Care ’s Future?
Conclusion & Implications
As with any analysis of
technology promising “disruption”, the careful reader needs to ask themselves
one primary question. Is this change real? Or is this just another PowerPoint
from a futurist that will be brushed off by the “mother of all adaptive
systems”?
The technology trends we
have described are already in motion. The question is, how big their impact
will be in health care? And how long will it take? Here are a few suggestions
for hospitals executives to help them understand the transition and assess the
rate of change.
Get familiar with the technologies...

Neuropathologist Matija Snuderl featured in major journal discussing the use of artificial intelligence in cancer diagnostics
Dr. Matija Snuderl, neuropathologist and molecular pathologist at New York University Langone Health, was featured ina recent article appearing inNature (March 26, 2020, Vol 579, p S14-S16). The article, which addresses the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cancer diagnostics, opens with Dr. Snuderl experiencing a moment that many of us neuropathologists have had wherein we hesitate before signing out a case because of a feeling that something might be just a bit different about a particular specimen. That feeling prompts us to do something else (run more ancillary testing, get a consult, sleep on it and ta...

Medicine will make you sick if you don ’t sleep
It’s 8 p.m., and I stumble into my apartment and fall into bed. Somehow, I avoided nodding off in the car driving home. I just finished a 36-hour shift, something I thought was an inhumane task. Somehow, I survived on two hours of sleep, incessant phone calls, pages, and a granola bar. This morning I […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Podcast: Using Death as Motivation to Live
How often do you think about death? If you’re like most people, you probably try to keep it in the back corners of your mind. But according to today’s guest, Kate Manser, remembering you might die tomorrow is the best inspiration to live today. Kate asserts that when we incorporate a certain level of mortality awareness into our daily lives, it motivates us to value life so much more and to live each day with intention. We start to find joy in the small things and live in a way that makes a positive outward ripple for all of humanity.
So how do we manage to think about death without falling into fear? Tune into to...
