How IoT Medical Devices Save and Improve Lives
The following is a guest article by Erik Kling, Interim Head of IoT Americas at Vodafone Business. IoT, or the Internet of Things, has transformed our homes with connected lights and smart appliances. It’s also revolutionized all areas of business, including manufacturing. Sensors connected to the internet can track goods throughout the supply chain — from sourcing materials to delivering completed products to consumers. IoT technology has improved the way we live, but its most profound impact may be in healthcare, where it’s saving lives and improving health. Before IoT revolutionized healthcare, doctors and care pr...

It ’s time to start approaching heart disease like breast cancer
Almost all of us know that October is breast cancer awareness month. Many of us also know that  BRCA 1/2, the BReast CAncer genes, can increase a person’s chances of developing breast cancer. In fact, BRCA 1/2 is so well known that patients with a positive family history often seek genetic screening for it on their own accord.Read more …It’s time to start approaching heart disease like breast cancer originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

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....

A woman in her 60s with palpitations, chest discomfort, and multiple misdiagnoses by both EM and Cardiology!!
 Written by Pendell MeyersA woman in her 60s was shopping when she suddenly experienced palpitations and chest " discomfort. " She denied outright chest pain or dyspnea. She walked across to the street to my Emergency Department. She had no known prior history of dysrhythmias or heart disease, but had known hypertension, breast cancer, diabetes, and obesity. She has had episodes of palpitations in the past, followed by holter monitor workups which did not reveal any cause of palpitations. However, her symptoms today feel worse than prior episodes, and she has never felt the " chest discomfort " with prior palpitations...

We Need to Open Up the AI Black Box
To convince physicians and nurses that deep learning algorithms are worth using in everyday practice, developers need to explain how they work in plain clinical English.Paul Cerrato, senior research analyst and communications specialist, Mayo Clinic Platform, and John Halamka, M.D., president, Mayo Clinic Platform, wrote this article.AI ’s so-called black box refers to the fact that much of the underlying technology behind machine learning-enhanced algorithms isprobability/statistics without a human readable explanation.Oftentimes that ’s the case because the advanced math or the data science behind the algorithms is t...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in Cardiology
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is useful in assessment of myocardial perfusion and viability, atherosclerotic plaque activity as well as cardiac innervation in heart failure. PET is also useful in prosthetic valve endocarditis, endocarditis associated with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), infiltrative cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis and cardio oncology [1]. PET imaging has superior diagnostic accuracy compared to SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography). It has improved spatial and temporal resolution and can measure regional blood flow and has less radiation. In PET, high energy gamma...

What ’s a diagnosis about? COVID-19 and beyond
By MICHEL ACCAD Last month marked the 400th anniversary of the birth of John Graunt, commonly regarded as the father of epidemiology.  His major published work, Natural and Political Observations Made upon the Bills of Mortality, called attention to the death statistics published weekly in London beginning in the late 16th century.  Graunt was skeptical of how causes of death were ascribed, especially in times of plagues.  Evidently, 400 years of scientific advances have done little to lessen his doubts!  A few days ago, Fox News reported that Colorado governor Jared Polis had “pushed back against recen...

Radiation induced coronary artery disease – RICAD
Radiation induced coronary artery disease – RICAD Radiation induced coronary artery disease (RICAD) is an important long term sequelae of radiotherapy to the chest region. The most common conditions associated with RICAD are breast cancer and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The risk is higher in Hodgkin’s lymphoma because they receive a higher dose of radiotherapy [1]. It may be noted that radiation is used in the treatment of about 50% of cancers [2]. Hence the importance of RICAD. Radiation causes vascular endothelial injury. It initiates and accelerates atherosclerosis. Proinflammatory cytokines were increased in ...

FDA Approvals For Smart Algorithms In Medicine In One Giant Infographic
Mental health algorithms mimicking empathy? A.I. outsmarting human doctors? Simple big data analytical software presented with clever marketing tactics? It’s difficult to assess the actual state of play when it comes to artificial intelligence in healthcare. Moreover, there’s no database that contains all the smart algorithms worth applying to medical processes. That’s the reason why we decided to collect every artificial intelligence-based algorithm that already received FDA approval – meaning that they are proven, reliable, and accurate solutions enabled by an official regulator for medical use. Let’s see the i...

Top Smart Algorithms In Healthcare
As artificial intelligence tools have been invading more or less every area of healthcare, we made a list to keep track of the top smart algorithms aiming for better diagnostics, more sophisticated patient care or further sighted predictions of diseases. Does A.I. beat doctors? Only if you lived under a rock for the last couple of years, could you not have heard about artificial intelligence. Some might have even come across the spread and potential of A.I. in healthcare. Not only smart algorithms themselves but also the hype around A.I. has grown immensely, thus every time a new study about deep learning or machine...

Medication to prevent anthracycline cardiotoxicity – Cardiology MCQ – Answer Medication which is universally recommended to prevent anthracycline cardiotoxicity when high dose cancer chemotherapy is planned: Correct answer: 2. Dexrazoxane Dexrazoxane has been used intravenously to protect the heart against chemotherapeutic agents like doxorubicin. US Food and Drug Administration has approved its use only in adult patients as there was a possible risk of secondary malignancy in pediatric patients.
