Pericardiocentesis saves a life
An excerpt from The Healing Connection: A Partnership for Your Health. The blood spurt was alarming though because it therefore indicated that the pressure in the venous system had to be sky high in order to shoot a column of blood in such a continuous arc over my right shoulder. So, I repeated the process Read more… Pericardiocentesis saves a life originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 21st 2023
This study aimed to investigate the association between frailty index and circulating CAP2 concentration in 467 community-dwelling older adults (median age: 79; range: 65-92 years). The selected robust regression model showed that circulating CAP2 concentration was not associated with chronological age, as well as sex and education. However, circulating CAP2 concentration was significantly and inversely associated with the frailty index: a 0.1-unit increase in frailty index leads to ~0.5-point mean decrease in CAP2 concentration. Furthermore, mean CAP2 concentration was significantly lower in frail participants (i.e., fr...

Dancing around the hexaflex: Using ACT in practice 1
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can be slippery to describe. It’s an approach that doesn’t aim to change thought content, but instead to help us shift the way we relate to what our mind tells us. It’s also an approach focused on workability: pragmatic and context-specific analysis of how well a strategy is working to achieve being able to do what matters. Over the next few posts I want to give some examples of how non-psychologists (remember ACT is open for anyone to use it!) can use ACT in session. Mindfulness – messing about with attention Thanks to Kevin Vowles, I’m adopting t...

The old man ’ s friend: Refuse antibiotics to achieve a peaceful death
“If you don’t know how to die, don’t worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you.” – M.

75 year old dialysis patient with nausea, vomiting and lightheadedness
Written by Jesse McLaren A 75 year-old patient with diabetes and end stage renal disease was sent to the ED after dialysis for three days of nausea, vomiting, loose stool, lightheadedness and fatigue. RR18 sat 99% HR 90 BP 90/60, afebrile. Below is the 15 lead ECG. What do you think? There ’s normal sinus rhythm, normal conduction, normal axis, normal R wave progression and normal voltages. There’s subtle inferior ST elevation with straightening of the ST segment, reciprocal ST depression and T wave inversion in aVL, and ST depression in V2. This is diagnostic of infero-posterior OMI, but it is falsely n...

Associations Between the Lipidome and Epigenetic Aging
The body contains hundreds of different types of lipid molecules, participating in cellular metabolism in ways that are just as complex and relevant to health as the activities of other biomolecules. In the context of aging, this broad range of lipids are perhaps understudied in comparison to levels and roles of proteins and patterns of gene expression. The situation is much the same, however: researchers can readily and cost-effectively amass a vast amount of data, but the analysis of this data lags far behind the accumulation of ever more and ever larger omics databases. It is ever unclear as to whether any particular as...

One instance involved a man whom Tom informed of a cancer recurrence. When the man cried, Tom put his hand on the man’s knee, attempting to comfort him. However, the Read more… Patient complaints prompt hospital to reevaluate doctor’s bedside manner originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

AWS and 3M Join Forces to Automate Clinical Note Creation
We recently noted the announcement of Amazon’s AWS HealthScribe with 3M as a partner that’s leveraging the solution.  The combination of these two companies was extremely interesting to me since you may recall that 3M acquired a company called M*Modal which has been working in the voice recognition space for a while.  I figured it was only a matter of time before 3M came out with their own ambient clinical voice solution to compete with Nuance’s DAX solutions, Ambience Healthcare, Suki, and OnPoint Healthcare Partners to name a few. To learn more about this announcement we sat down with two leaders at 3...

Love and medicine: the journey of a cardiologist ’ s life
An excerpt from Box of Birds: What New Zealand taught me about life and the practice of medicine. While dobutamine improves the strength of heart contractions and can thereby help raise blood pressure, it also has properties that dilate the arteries, which in this patient’s case dropped the blood pressure further. The patient’s blood pressure Read more… Love and medicine: the journey of a cardiologist’s life originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Cool Demos of Healthcare VR Applications with HTC VIVE
We’ve all heard about the progress VR is making in healthcare, but that was never more clear than when we stopped by the HTC VIVE booth at the HIMSS annual conference this year.  While there we had a chance to talk with Dan O’Brien, GM Americas at HTC VIVE, and he introduced us to some of the healthcare partners that were developing healthcare applications for their VR and AR devices.  These applications included: VR surgical models, helping the aging process, VR Therapy, a radiology reading room in VR, and immersive VR to replace anesthesia.

THCB 20th Birthday classics: A Brief History of Price Controls by Annoyed Republican Administrations
By UWE REINHARDT One of the greatest pleasures of running THCB has been to get to know and host the writings of some of my health policy heroes. This week I have already published work from Jeff Goldsmith, and Ian Morrison & Michael Millenson among others will be featured next week (as the party won’t quite stop). Perhaps one of the most amazing things was that the doyen of health economists, Uwe Reinhardt, offered to write some original pieces for THCB…prodded by former editor John Irvine. This is one of my favorites, riffing on a talk I heard him give in (I think) 1993 about how HCFA was like the Kreml...
