Medical Librarian Research Contributions to Guidelines Improves Patient Care
Doctors, nurses, and other members of the patient care team are faced with problems on a daily basis. Some of these problems are easier to solve than others. Some of these require more research to better understand and solve the problem. Clinical guidelines require research to find the highest quality of evidence with the most current, relevant data to determine the appropriate standard of care. Medical librarians are experts at providing that type of research.
In today’s post on a librarian’s impact in hospitals and patients, I would like to present the research done by a librarian at the Oncology Nursing S...

The unheard cries: an obstetrician ’s nightmare
Her image captured the world: mangled hip, jutting belly, stretcher, war, a woman carried out of a bombed maternity hospital. She ’s gray, contrasted against a colorful beach towel, among the smoldering ruins of Mariupol. The outcome was bad; neither she nor the baby survived despite the perimortem Cesarean. News stories reported that she gasped and,Read more …The unheard cries: an obstetrician’s nightmare originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

An asymptomatic man in his 50s with heart rate in the 160s - what is the diagnosis? How will you manage this?
Written by Pendell MeyersA man in his late 50s with history of CAD with CABG, COPD, smoking, cirrhosis, and other comorbidities presented for an outpatient scheduled stress test which had been ordered for some exertional shortness of breath, palpitations, and presyncopal episodes over the past few months. When he presented to the office for the stress test, his screening vitals before any test or intervention were remarkable only for a heart rate of 160 bpm. He denied any symptoms whatsoever.A 12-lead ECG was performed in the office:What do you think?The ECG shows a wide complex regular monomorphic tachycardia. I mea...

The (sort of, partial) Father mRNA Vaccines Who Now Spreads Vaccine Misinformation (Part 1)
By DAVID WARMFLASH, MD
Robert W. Malone, MD MS, is a physician-scientist who will live in infamy, thanks to the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast boosting his visibility this past December regarding his criticism of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly the mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech). Subsequently, Malone was banned from Twitter, which further boosted his celebrity status. Describing himself as the inventor of mRNA vaccine technology, he has been reaching a growing number of people with a narrative that makes COVID-19 vaccination sound scary. We cannot embed clips from the Rogan interview, which lasted about three...

How Do We Know If COVID Is Over?
Is it the end of COVID? – we hear this very question more and more often these days. This topic has been analysed over and over in the past two years, I also wrote about it more than once. Here, at the beginning, we outlined possible scenarios on how the pandemic will develop. By now we can determine that we ended up somewhere between #2 and #3.
We also discussed how widespread vaccination is the way to go, and how it will contribute to getting back our lives.
The speculation on finally getting over it is not surprising. It is in line with recent reports, and the discussion about the pandemic entering the endem...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 14th 2022
This study tests the feasibility of chronically elevating skeletal muscle NAD+ in mice and investigates the putative effects on mitochondrial respiratory capacity, insulin sensitivity, and gene expression. The metabolic effects of NR and PT treatment were modest. We conclude that the chronic elevation of skeletal muscle NAD+ by the intravenous injection of NR is possible but does not affect muscle respiratory capacity or insulin sensitivity in either sedentary or physically active mice. Our data have implications for NAD+ precursor supplementation regimens.

Long Term Data on Particulate Air Pollution and Dementia in a US Population
There is plenty of evidence for particulate air pollution to have a negative effect on long-term health, particularly those derived from Asian populations that are exposed to more coal and wood smoke than tends to be the case in the US and Western Europe. While the relative importance of the various mechanisms involved are up for debate, the most plausible are those involving raised inflammation as a result of interactions between particles and lung tissue. The chronic inflammation of aging drives near all age-related conditions, and more inflammation means more dysfunction.
As researchers note here, not all particu...

What Has A.I. In Medicine Ever Done For Us? At Least 50 Things!
Remember Monty Python’s brilliant Life of Brian movie scene where the Judean Jewish insurgent commando, planning the abduction of Pilate’s wife in return for all the horrors they had to endure from the Roman Empire, asks the rhetorical question: what have the Romans ever done for us? With the hype and overmarketing, not to speak about the fears around A.I, we asked the same question. What has A.I. in medicine ever done for us? Well, we found at least 50 things.
I have 50 responses to the pressing question on everyone’s mind who is interested in healthcare but tired of the hype or the doomsday scenarios around A.I....

Shame Experiences in Premedical and Medical Students
On this episode of the Academic Medicine Podcast, guests Will Bynum, MD, and Joe Jackson, MD, join host Toni Gallo to discuss new research into the nature of shame experiences in medical students and emerging work on the implications of premedical students’ shame experiences for their professional development. They offer advice for educators and learners for naming, normalizing, and addressing the effects of shame and provide suggestions for fostering a safe, inclusive learning environment and a holistic admissions process that support learners and minimize opportunities for shame triggering experiences.

What the Pandemic Taught Us About Value-based Care
By RICHARD ISSACS
You’ll recall that we ran a long piece (pt 1, pt 2) about Medicare Advantage from former Kaiser Permanente CEO George Halvorson earlier this year. Here’s a somewhat related piece from the current head of the Permanente Medical Group about what actually happened there and elsewhere during the pandemic–Matthew Holt
The COVID-19 pandemic has provided important lessons regarding the structure and delivery of health care in the United States, and one of the most significant takeaways has been the need to shift to value-based models of care.
The urgency for this transformation was cle...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 7th 2022
In this study, we used accelerometer measurements (1) to examine the association of physical activity and mortality in a population-based sample of US adults and (2) to estimate the number of deaths prevented annually with modest increases in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) intensity.
This analysis included 4,840 participants. Increasing MVPA by 10, 20, or 30 minutes per day was associated with a 6.9%, 13.0%, and 16.9% decrease in the number of deaths per year, respectively. We estimated that approximately 110,000 deaths per year could be prevented if US adults aged 40 to 85 years or older increased th...

Still Needed: More People Publishing Basically Sensible Thoughts About Treating Aging
It is always pleasant to see people publishing basically sensible thoughts about the treatment of aging as a medical condition. This short example is a good one: realistic, no hype, a sober assessment of the present state of development in academia and industry, yet still optimistic. We still need more of this sort of thing out there in the world, a beacon of common sense to counteract the nonsense-ridden, low-value discussions of aging that are still prevalent in the media whenever the topic arises.
Of the 150,000 deaths that occur on Earth every day, over two thirds of them are due to ageing. This is because, bi...

Transcarent ’s Valuation Soars Past $1B. Hear Why Glen Tullman Says It’s More Than Worth It.
By JESSICA DaMASSA, WTF HEALTH
Transcarent raises a whopping $200 million Series C funding round that values the year-ish old business at over $1.6 billion – valuing the up-start higher than quasi-competitor, Accolade, which is sitting on the NASDAQ with a $1.3 billion dollar market cap. Executive Chairman & CEO Glen Tullman shares some very revealing details about the round, why he’s deliberately added leading hospital systems onto his cap table, and what he’s got to say to the doubters who might question whether not Transcarent is a billion-dollar business just yet. (Spoiler alert: Glen says Transcarent didn...
