Nurse Practitioners and Physicians Behind the 8-Ball
On June 8, 2019, an article was published in the New York Times that clearly stated something I ' ve been thinking about for quite some time. The article was titled, "The Business of Health Care Depends on Exploiting Doctors and Nurses" , and the subtitle was "One resource seems infinite and free: the professionalism of caregivers" . It was written by Dr. Danielle Ofri, a physician at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.The article outlines the ways in which healthcare providers are exploited for their compassion and dedication to patients in terms of being asked to see more patients and do more work than is humanly possibl...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 16th 2019
This study shows that CA are released from periventricular and subpial regions to the cerebrospinal fluid and are present in the cervical lymph nodes, into which cerebrospinal fluid drains through the meningeal lymphatic system. We also show that CA can be phagocytosed by macrophages. We conclude that CA can act as containers that remove waste products from the brain and may be involved in a mechanism that cleans the brain. Moreover, we postulate that CA may contribute in some autoimmune brain diseases, exporting brain substances that interact with the immune system, and hypothesize that CA may contain brain markers that m...

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...

Notes on the 1st Alcor New York Science Symposium
This past weekend, I was in New York City for a meeting organized by Alcor New York, a cryonics community group that is presently seeking to set up a more robust Biostasis Society of New York complete with well-organized standby capacity to help people achieve a successful cryopreservation at the end of life. Setting aside technical issues, the greatest challenge in cryopreservation is the fact the euthanasia, and thus the ability to arrange time of death, remains largely illegal. Hence there must be expensive standby operations, suboptimal deaths that cause significant damage to the brain, and a scramble to ensure rapid c...

What Are Opioid Overdose Signs?
On average, 130 Americans die from an opioid overdose every day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers opioid overdose an epidemic in the United States, estimating it responsible for nearly 68 percent of 70,000 drug-related deaths in 2017.

Opioid drugs reduce pain by binding to opioid receptors in your brain, spinal cord and other areas of the body, creating morphine-like effects. The CDC ide...

Health Systems Hiring Chief Digital Officers; How Does This Effect the Current C-Suites
    During my career in healthcare IT dating back to the early 1980s, I have seen one major change in the executive leadership in hospital IT. This was the creation of thechief information officer (CIO). Prior to this time, the key IT position in hospitals was the HIS manager who reported to the CFO. This was logical because the major functions of the HIS (hospital information system) at that time were billing and tracking patient admissions and discharges (i.e., patient management systems). About ten years later, hospitals began to appoint chief information officers (CIOs). This c...

Learn Ways to Communicate Without Yelling
As a therapist, I sit in the presence of individuals, couples and families who share stories about the challenges in their interpersonal relationships. What remains with me, after decades of being a privileged listener, is a litany of complaints about how yelling is the primary means of communication between them and if not a direct reaction to disagreement, it becomes the default mode when the temperature rises.  As a human being who does my level best to take the professional hat off in my own interactions outside the office and sometimes failing miserably, I know all too well, the temptation to increase the volume of m...
