9 Technologies That Will Shape The Future Of Dentistry
One of the most common childhood fears is going to the dentist. Who would not relate? Sitting in a huge chair illuminated by blinding light; enduring lengthy seated sessions with someone looking and poking inside your mouth using edgy and frightening devices. And finally, when the torture is over, that same someone tells you not to eat your favourite sweets and instructs you to brush your teeth regularly.  We’ve all been through this as a kid and childhood memories stick with us; just recalling this might send a shiver down your spine. No one likes to go to the dentist in spite of the fact that everyone knows how crucia...

A Cure at Any Cost? Time to Shine a Light on Drug Pricing
By CECI CONNOLLY and BOBBY CLARK We are all are anxiously awaiting the approval and delivery of a cure to the novel coronavirus – or better yet, a vaccine. Amid the race to develop a safe and effective vaccine, some may be inclined to give drug companies a pass on their well-established bad behavior related to pricing and market competition. But that would be an awfully expensive mistake. As the COVID-19 pandemic claims more lives and families’ livelihood, policymakers and the public must press drug makers for more information on the products they are developing. The country must be protected agains...

Election Issue Spotlight: “Junk” Insurance Makes a Pandemic Even Worse
By ROSEMARIE DAY and NIKO LEHMAN-WHITE One of the most important responsibilities of the American government is to protect its citizens from harmful industry practices, from lead poisoning to dangerous pharmaceuticals to financial meltdowns. Its record is far from perfect, but government regulators usually act in good faith and in turn earn the trust of those they protect. As we head into Tuesday’s election, it’s important to shine a spotlight on the fact that the Trump administration has betrayed that trust yet again. They have allowed low-quality, unregulated forms of insurance called Short-Term Limited Du...

Nasal Endoscopy for Urgent and Complex ED Cases
​Fiberoptics and endoscopy have changed the way we treat patients in the emergency department. Endoscopes are relatively easy to use, and can aid your diagnosis and treatment plan. Endoscopy may be useful in urgent cases, such as epistaxis, nasal foreign bodies, and ear debridement. It may also be helpful when dealing with more complicated presentations and critically ill patients, such as those with Ludwig's angina, epiglottis, tracheostomies, or those who need intubation.Fiberoptic tools are not just for surgeons and consultants. The endoscope has many uses in the emergency department, and we have a few tips and tricks...

Health Care 101 Continued: The allocation problem
We often hear sentiments to the effect that human life is infinitely precious, that you can ' t put a price on human life. While most people probably think this instinctively, it is conservatives, and particularly religious conservatives, who are most likely to try to apply the concept in reality. Do you remember the ravings about " death panels " when the Affordable Care Act passed? Of course there ' s nothing in the ACA that could conceivably be construed that way, but the scary meme was imported from arguments about single payer or, as in the UK, socialized medicine schemes.To put this in the simplest and starkest terms...

7 Things You Can Expect From A.I. In Healthcare
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) has for long been the subject of the fertile minds of science-fiction writers and movie directors. HAL 9000, Skynet and JARVIS are some of the many A.I. names sci-fi enthusiasts are familiar with. They streamline administrative tasks, entertain humans and, of course, become overlords threatening human existence.  Now, thanks to technological progress, such A.I. are breaking out of the confines of movies and books and into healthcare. While they aren’t threatening our existence, they are helping in improving the medical field. From forecasting disease outbreaks to helping in new...

Coping with the loss of smell and taste
As I cut a slice of lemon for my tea one morning last March, I found that I could not detect the familiar zing of citrus. Nor, it turned out, could I taste the peach jam on my toast. Overnight, my senses of smell and taste seemed to have disappeared. In the days prior to that I’d had body aches and chills, which I ascribed to a late-winter cold — nothing, I thought, an analgesic and some down time couldn’t take care of. But later that day I saw a newspaper article about the loss of smell and taste in patients with COVID-19, and I realized that I’d likely caught the virus. While I was fortunate enough to eventually ...

Will Trump, Congressional Infections Boost Innovations For Covid-19 Survivors?
By MICHAEL MILLENSON When powerful politicians confront a life-threatening diagnosis, it can change policy priorities.  In addition to President Trump and a slew of top aides, five U.S. senators and 15 members of the House of Representatives have now tested positive or been presumed positive in tests for Covid-19 as of Oct. 5, according to a running tally by National Public Radio (NPR). In that light, the recent burst of coronavirus infections could accelerate three significant innovations affecting every Covid-19 survivor. 1) Post-Covid Clinics Even seemingly mild encounters with the coronavirus can tr...
