Public access defibrillation
This study showed that trained lay persons can use AEDs safely and effectively. Nationwide dissemination of public access AEDs in Japan was reported in 2010 [1]. 312,319 adults who had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were included in the study. 12,631 of these patients had ventricular fibrillation and cardiac origin witnessed cardiac arrest. 462 were administered shocks by lay persons with public access AEDs. Though this gave an average percentage of 3.7%, the percentage increased from 1.2% to 6.2% as the number of public access AEDs increased. 14.4% of those with witness cardiac origin cardiac arrest were alive at 1 month ...

Health Care You Do Not See
By KIM BELLARD Within a mile from my home in one direction, there are two pharmacies and a primary care office.  In another direction, there’s a multi-specialty physician practice, complete with lab and pharmacy.  And in a third direction, an urgent care center.  Widen the circle another mile, and there are more physician offices, a plethora of other health care professionals, another urgent care, a retail clinic, and an imaging center.  Add a couple more miles and hospitals – plural – to start show up. I’m not sure that’s a good thing. Admittedly, not everyone has so many options.&nb...

Reverse Potts Shunt for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Children
Potts shunt was a surgical anastomosis between left pulmonary artery and descending aorta to improve pulmonary blood flow in cyanotic congenital heart disease with decreased pulmonary blood flow. It is a systemic to pulmonary shunt. The report was published one year after the Blalock-Taussig shunt which was also used for a similar purpose [1]. Later Potts shunt like other central aortopulmonary shunts, were discontinued because of higher risk of excessive pulmonary blood flow. A modified Blalock-Taussig shunt is still in use. Reverse Potts shunt is a pulmonary to systemic shunt for relieving pulmonary arterial hypertensio...

Future Treatment For Autoimmune Diseases
New digital health tech targeted to fight autoimmune diseases or their symptoms are diverse and creative. These often completely different illnesses, like type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis, indicate an immune system dysfunction. Immune cells and mechanisms target the body’s own cells and structures, deconstructing it bit by bit and inducing inflammation. An estimated 24-50 million people in the US alone are living with autoimmune conditions. It affects their day-to-day life, but scientists suggest people living with chronic conditions could also be more suscepti...

In this “cozy management game about dying,” you assume the role of a young woman named Stella who is charged with shuttling spirits to the gates of the afterlife.

3D Printing in Medicine And Healthcare – The Ultimate List In 2021
3D printing has demonstrated huge potential for the future of medicine in the previous years, and its development is unstoppable. Just look at the impressive list of 3D printed healthcare materials and medical equipment below! How does 3D printing in medicine work? 3D printing in medicine is part of the innovative process called additive manufacturing, which means producing three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. How the technology works, we explained the technology in our article on bioprinting here. As technology evolves, researchers work on various solutions. For example, engineers from the University of B...

Cancer Centers Rebounding From COVID-19 Can Grow By Making the Most of New Technologies for Clinical Trials
For community cancer centers that rely on patient reimbursement to stay afloat, a smart data-driven approach to clinical trials provides a foundation for future growth. Brenda Noggy Dr. Tandy Tipps By TANDY TIPPS and BRENDA NOGGY Covid-19’s tragic, devastating impact on cancer treatment is now well documented. Cancer screenings dropped by almost 90 percent at the peak of the pandemic. Billing for some leading cancer medications dropped 30 percent last summer. Studies found a 60 percent decrease in new clinical trials for cancer drugs and biological therapies. Cancer centers, like every part of the US healt...

Make Mine Bioresorbable
By KIM BELLARD I learned a new word this week: bioresorbable.  It means pretty much what you might infer — materials that can be broken down and absorbed into the body, i.e., biodegradable.  It is not, as it turns out, a new concept for health care – physicians have been using bioresorbable stitches and even stents for several years.  But there are some new developments that further illustrate the potential of bioresorbable materials.  It’s enough to make Green New Deal supporters smile. Bioresorbable stents and stitches are all well and good – who wants to be stuck with them or, wo...

The explosion of mental health apps raises substantial opportunities –and tough questions
In the eyes of the tech industry, mental health treatment is an area ripe for disruption. In any given year, 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience a form of mental illness, according to federal estimates. And research indicates only about half of them receive treatment in a system that is understaffed and ill distributed to meet demand. For tech startups looking to cash in on unmet need, that translates into more than 50 million potential customers. Venture capital firms invested more than $2.4 billion in digital behavioral health apps in 2020 — more than twice the amount invested in 2019 — touting support or treatment ...

Human connections, cancer care, and COVID-19 restrictions
The desire for human connection is so irrevocably and putatively a tenet of the human condition.

How Big Pharma Bought Big Media for  $6 Billion: The Unintended Consequences of Direct-to-Consumer Drug Advertising
Media, whether broadcast, streamed, or print, is a lifeline of information for most Americans. Updates on the pandemic, results of an election, knowing whether you are in the path of an oncoming hurricane or snowstorm—we are alerted by news reports and thereby dependent on the factual information they provide. Media informs, shapes opinions, keeps us out of harm’s way. Despite the public pummeling media has received over the past few years, media remains the means through which Americans view much of their world. What the media reports—or does not report—is therefore crucial to shaping opinion and behavior.  There...

Twins For Everyone!
By KIM BELLARD I have lived my entire life as a twin, and, while it isn’t an unalloyed blessing, on balance I’d recommend it.  Most of you, though, probably aren’t twins and have missed the experience.  Don’t worry: you may still get a chance – with a digital twin.  It could have profound implications for your health and for healthcare generally. A digital twin, in case you are not familiar with the concept, is a virtual representation of a physical object.  It is created from data about that physical object, and is fed ongoing data (e.g., via IoT) about it to keep the model accurate....

The Technological Future Of Surgery
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” This quote by Arthur C. Clarke pretty much sums up the future of surgery. It offers fantastic cooperation between humans and technology, which could elevate the level of precision and efficiency of surgeries so high we have never seen before. A.I., surgical robots, 3D printing and new imaging methods are already used on a wide scale of procedures. But there’s much more to the future of surgery than that.  Today only 3% of surgical procedures are performed by robots, although 15% of all operations used robotic support or assistance in the ...
