Saying goodbye: the tragic impact of COVID-19 on families
“No, no, no! I’m having a nightmare!” She shrieked through the phone. I couldn’t bear to hear it as words fell clumsily out of my mouth. “Your husband couldn’t breathe on his own. We had to put him on a ventilator. I’m so sorry.” I was apologizing already. I’m sure she knew that it wasn’t Read more… Saying goodbye: the tragic impact of COVID-19 on families originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Welcome back to the big molecular science of PCSK and its antagonist Evolocumab, a monoclonal antibody designed to target and prevent the LDL receptor catabolism inside the lysosomes.

It aimed to reduce the LDL as low as possible in selected patients with familial LDLemia & and those who don’t tolerate statins.  Now, a study was silently released in BMJ open, at the fag end of 2002, which is causing ripp...

It is from the archives of the United nations library .This can teach some important lessons in art of communication , sharing to all folks, especially medical students. It was recorded in 1959 in Newyork, UN head quarters.Four 17 year old school girls & boys were invited for a debate on a complex topic. Does God exist ?

One family ’s disastrous experience with a growth-driven long-term care company
by “E-PATIENT” DAVE DEBRONKART Continuing THCB’s occasional series on actual experiences with the health care system. This is the first in a short series about a patient and family experience from one of America’s leading ePatients. I’ve been blogging recently about what happens in American healthcare when predatory investor-driven companies start moving into care industries because the money’s good and enforcement is lax. The first two posts were about recent articles in The New Yorker on companies that are more interested in sales and growth than caring. I now have permission ...

A teenager with chest pain, a troponin below the limit of detection, and " benign early repolarization "
Sent by anonymous, written by Pendell MeyersA male in his teens presented with complaints of chest discomfort and dyspnea beginning while exercising but without obvious injury.

Foobaw and more
Let me start with Damar Hamlin. His physicians haven ' t said anything publicly about what happened to him, but there are basically two possibilities. First, it is obviously uncommon but not unheard of for apparently healthy athletes to suffer cardiac arrest during exertion. This happened to Boston Celtics star Reggie Lewis. I happened to be in Boston Garden watching the first round playoff game against the Charlotte Hornets on April 29, 1993 when Lewis collapsed. All of the spectators were baffled about what  had happened.  Doctors at New England Baptist Hospital later diagnosed him with a heart abnormality...

Missing links in IHD : What is the relationship between Ischemia & cardiac arrhythmias ?
The term Ischemic heart disease (IHD) was once very popular, but many abandoned it as it became an academic cliche.  CAD & CAHD are the other terms that are equally popular and prevalent. Stable IHD was in vogue till recently, which was again replaced by “chronic coronary syndrome’ now. Honestly, I feel the original term IHD to be restored however outdated it may look. it encompasses the entire spectrum of clinical cardiac disorders. Manifestation of Ischemia heart disease  Angina Infarction Cardiac failure Arrhythmias  Silent ischemia Sudden cardiac death  The ...
