Using Telehealth to Serve Disparate Populations
The following is a guest article by Josh Wilda, CIO at University of Michigan Health-West. Armando Ruiz is like many who walk through the doors of Exalta Health: an elderly man greeted in his native Spanish by a bilingual marquee outside the small purple clinic on Grand Rapids’ main thoroughfare. He’s also one of many Exalta patients who took advantage of a partnership with a local hospital to receive needed specialty care through a unique hybrid remote/in-person model. The partnership between Exalta and University of Michigan Health-West serves a variety of business objectives for both providers. As ...

Our OMI Toolbox Application is out now !
We are happy to announce that our " OMI Toolbox " application has just released and ready for your use. As myocardial infarction (MI) and many other diagnoses (for example left ventricular hypertrophy, prior MI etc.) can cause ST-segment elevation (STE) on electrocardiogram (ECG), the distinction between them may be hard and complicated. Furthermore, some ECGs may not meet the STEMI criteria but may still be diagnostic for acute coronary occlusion (ACO). For this purpose, only one set of diagnostic or differentiating criteria (STEMI criteria) is not enough, therefore a bunch of different tools are needed to make a&nbs...

Important aspects in the management of neurocardiogenic syncope
Neurocardiogenic syncope is the most common cause of syncope. Initial measures in management include lifestyle modifications, increasing the fluid and salt intake and education about physical counterpressure methods. Pharmacological measures may be tried next. Pacemaker implantation has been tried in those with predominantly cardioinhibitory syncope [1]. Physical counterpressure measures are movements like leg crossing and hand gripping which may prevent loss of consciousness in those who feel the presyncopal symptoms. These measures increase the systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure to counter the vasodepressiv...

Mural endocarditis
Vegetations in infective endocarditis are usually situated on the valves. If they are located on the walls of the cardiac chambers, it is known as mural endocarditis [1]. When mural endocarditis occurs without any cardiac structural abnormalities like ventricular septal defects, it is called primary mural endocarditis [2]. Primary mural endocarditis is extremely rare. Left atrial mural endocarditis usually occurs due to the jet lesion of mitral regurgitation [1,3]. Left atrial mural endocarditis is usually picked up by trans esophageal echocardiography. Vegetations are mostly located just distal to the mitral orifice betw...

What Can We Expect From 2021: The COVID Perspective
Nearing the end of 2020, we are globally far from seeing the end of the pandemic that ruled (and ruined) 2020. Every day we see hundreds of thousands of new cases of coronavirus infections, with the WHO reporting a record one-day rise, while people have a hard time complying with the strict safety measures again. We are all waiting for this nightmare to stop, but will it ever? How long, ‘till we need to keep masks on and stay away from grandma? After this dystopian 2020, how are we looking at 2021? No one knows for sure. With countries being knee-deep in the second wave, everyone is waiting for the vaccines to put an ...

COVID herd immunity: At hand or forever elusive?
By MICHEL ACCAD, MD With cases of COVID-19 either disappeared or rapidly diminishing from places like Wuhan, Italy, New York, and Sweden, many voices are speculating that herd immunity may have been reached in those areas and that it may be at hand in the remaining parts of the world that are still struggling with the pandemic.  Lockdowns should end—or may not have been needed to begin with, they conclude. Adding plausibility to their speculation is the discovery of biological evidence suggesting that prior exposure to other coronaviruses may confer some degree of immunity against SARS-CoV2, a...

The COVID Pandemic: WHO Dunnit?
By ANISH KOKA, MD COVID is here. A little strand of RNA that used to live in bats has a new host.  And that strand is clearly not the flu.  New York is overrun, with more than half of the nation’s new cases per day, and refrigerated 18-wheelers parked outside hospitals serve as makeshift morgues.  Detroit, New Orleans, Miami, and Philadelphia await an inevitable surge of their own with bated breath.  America’s health care workers are scrambling to hold the line against a deluge of sick patients arriving hourly at a rate that’s hard to fathom.  I pause here to attest to the heroic r...

Maternal Mortality – Separating Signal from Noise
By AMEYA KULKARNI, MD When Samuel Morse left his New Haven home to paint a portrait of the Maquis du Lafayette in Washington DC, it was the last time he would see his pregnant wife. Shortly after his arrival in Washington, his wife developed complications during childbirth. A messenger took several days on horseback to relay the message to Mr Morse. Because the trip back to New Haven took several more, his wife had died by the time he arrived at their home.  So moved was he by the tragedy of lost time that he dedicated the majority of the rest of his life to make sure that this would never happen to anyone again. H...
