Nursing Students and Educators Must Be Part of a National Public Health Surveillance Strategy
By KAREN JOHNSON PhD, RN
Shortly before our
world was turned upside down by COVID-19, I visited Space Center Houston with
my family. We marveled at the collective ambition and investment it took to
move from space travel being an aspirational dream to setting foot on the moon.
I thought about my favorite scene from the movie Apollo 13, when Gene Kranz
overhears the NASA Director saying “This could be the worst disaster NASA has
ever experienced,” and candidly replies, “With all due respect, sir, I believe
this is going to be our finest hour.”
Just months later, our entire planet is on a mission to turn trag...

Monk fruit –More than a healthy sweetener?
Because I wanted a benign and healthy way for followers of the Wheat Belly lifestyle to recreate dishes such as chocolate chip cookies, cheesecake, and pies with none of the health problems of grains or sugars, I helped Wheat-Free Market develop its Virtue Sweetener product.
Yes, you could do without such sweeteners. But I learned long ago when I introduced Wheat Belly concepts to patients in my cardiology practice that having options while entertaining friends, during holidays, and pleasing kids was important for staying on course on this lifestyle. Before I understood how to use such natural sweeteners, patients would ...

Artificial Intelligence vs. Tuberculosis, Part 1
By SAURABH JHA, MD
Slumdog TB
No one knows who gave Rahul Roy
tuberculosis. Roy’s charmed life as a successful trader involved traveling in his
Mercedes C class between his apartment on the plush Nepean Sea Road in South
Mumbai and offices in Bombay Stock Exchange. He cared little for Mumbai’s weather.
He seldom rolled down his car windows – his ambient atmosphere, optimized for
his comfort, rarely changed.
Historically TB, or
“consumption” as it was known, was a Bohemian malady; the chronic suffering produced
a rhapsody which produced fine art. TB was fashionable in Victorian Britain, in
part, because c...

From Theranos To Google Glass: The Biggest Flops In Digital Health
The tech start-up scene, investors, and news-reading
audiences reward great stories on the edge of human capabilities – sometimes
even on the boundary of science and science fiction – with their attention,
money, or invested energy. However, sometimes marketing machines are better
than actual technologies, and the ‘little bubbles’ around companies burst.
Here, we collected the most promising digital health ideas and companies over
the years that proved to be the greatest flops in medical innovation so far.
‘Big little bubbles’ that turned into digital health failures
Humans love great sto...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, September 9th 2019
We examined human lung tissue from COPD patients and normal control subjects, and found a substantial increase in p16-expressing alveolar cells in COPD patients. Using a transgenic mouse deficient for p16, we demonstrated that lungs of mice lacking p16 were structurally and functionally resistant to CS-induced emphysema due to activation of IGF1/Akt regenerative and protective signaling.

TAME Trial for the Effects of Metformin in Humans to Proceed this Year
Researchers and advocates have been trying for some years to launch the TAME trial to assess the effects of metformin on aging in humans. This is not with the hope of producing meaningful effects on the progression of aging. Metformin has a small effect size, being one of the less effective interventions that upregulates cellular stress responses, a strategy that in and of itself is weak in long-lived species such as our own. The goal is to push the FDA into accepting clinical trials that target mechanisms of aging rather than a specific named age-related condition. Metformin was chosen because its safety profile, widespre...

Why the Fed Needs a Monetary Rule to Protect Its Independence
As the 2020 presidential election season heats up, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is being pushed from all sides.President Trump has castigated him for overly tight monetary policy and has implied that Powell is a “bigger enemy” than Xi Jinping. Meanwhile,William Dudley, who recently headed the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the most important reserve bank in the system, boldly called for Powell to enter the political fray against Trump and use a tighter monetary policy to help defeat him in 2020.We ’ve seen this pattern before—only this time, it’s more extreme. President Trump, like many executives ...

VHA Doc ' s 3,000 Errors, DHS Docs ' ' Dual Loyalties '
It has been a rough news day for government-run health care. But not nearly so rough as government-run health care has been to its victims.First, The Washington Post reports on the matter of Robert Morris Levy, a former pathologist at the Veterans Health Admininstration hospital in Fayetteville, Arkansas who repeatedly showed up for work intoxicated and who “VA officials say…made 3,000 errors or misdiagnoses dating to 2005.” Levy showed up for work one day with a blood alcohol level of 0.4 percent, five times Arkansas’ legal limit. He misdiagnosed patients who actually had cancer and whose cancers spread untreat...

Everyone Is Having the Wrong Healthcare Debate
By STEVEN MERAHN, MD
In 1807, in an effort to spite the British and French for shipping interference (and forced recruitment of American citizens into military service), the United States Congress passed an Embargo Act, effectively shutting down trade with these two countries. Britain and France quickly found other trading partners; the US, then limited in our capacity to sell products outside our borders, was left with a devastated economy and a gaping hole in our face. It took only weeks before Congress passed a loophole; they repealed the act within 15 months of its passing. It was a great lesson in unintended co...

Improved Quality of Care as the Major Goal for the Merger of Pathology and Radiology
I recently returned to the topic of merging pathology and radiology after a thirteen year hiatus (see:Increasing Interest in Merging the Specialties of Pathology and Radiology). This caused me to reflect on the question of why this idea has remained dormant despite the fact that (I believe) it's worthy of serious consideration. This question, in turn, caused me to think about the factors that serve as incentives for major changes in hospitals and healthcare. I came up with the following four drivers for change emanating from either the C-suite or hospital physician leadership. These factors may operate singly or ...
