Academics Weigh In On How To Bring Down Trump
By MIKE MAGEE This week, as a fourth indictment came due, a tragic Donald Trump headed back to social media, digging himself into a hole that will eventually lead to some personal hell. But before Donald Trump, there was William Frederick Kohler. He made his appearance on the American stage on February 28, 1995, an historian who had just completed his “Great Work” – The Guilt and Innocence of Hitler’s Germany. He was odd and dark and duplicitous. His life’s work was ready to go. All that was left was to write the introduction to his book. Instead his attention was diverted, as he followed his impulse to...

Hopes and Questions raised by Alzheimer ’s drug Leqembi (lecanemab)
The FDA has approved Leqembi, the first disease-modifying treatment for early-stage Alzheimer’s and a precursor condition, mild cognitive impairment. Medicare has said it will pay for the therapy. Medical centers across the country are scrambling to finalize policies and procedures for providing the medication to patients, possibly by summer’s end or early autumn. It’s a fraught moment, with hope running high for families and other promising therapies such as donanemab on the horizon. Still, medical providers are cautious. “This is an important first step in developing treatments for complex neurodegenerative disea...

A Universal Epigenetic Aging Clock for All Mammalian Species
Epigenetic modifications to the nuclear genome, such as the addition of methyl groups to CpG sites, known as DNA methylation, adjust the structure of double-stranded DNA. That structure determines which gene sequences are accessible to transcription machinery, the first step in producing proteins. Thus epigenetics drives gene expression, and gene expression drives the behavior of cells. It is a feedback loop between environment, cell behavior, and epigenetics. The pattern of epigenetic modifications changes constantly in response to circumstances, but some changes are characteristic of aging. When discovered, this led to t...

Helping Kids with SMA Win with a Physiotherapy Game
Physiotherapy is hard. It is even harder for children who get bored and tire quickly from the repetitive motions that doctors prescribe for them. Raft Digital Therapeutics (Raft) created an interactive video game to help children with a rare degenerative neuromuscular disease – Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) – to maintain their physical abilities, improve outcomes, and promote a higher quality of life. Their game has found success with children, parents, and clinicians. Healthcare IT Today had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Geoff Frost, CEO of Raft and practicing physiatrist, to find out about their game, their re...

All-in-One Medical Graphic Stations and Tablets from DT Research
At the HIMSS conference, one of the most interesting technologies we saw was the wide variety of high end, computers, tablets, and monitors that were made available.  In many surgeries, they need a solution that provides them the high end graphics and computing that’s needed to ensure they can precisely see what’s happening with the surgery. At the conference, we had a chance to learn about some of these products from Robert Droppa, General Manager, Government & Healthcare Solutions at DT Research.  Along with offering purpose built tablets and monitors for healthcare, Droppa talked to us about the DT Re...

Transforming Patient-Centric Healthcare with Digital Humans
In conclusion, digital humans can play a significant role in alleviating current staffing shortages and challenges in delivering high-quality care. As we see the role of digital humans continuing to grow, we at Dell Technologies believe that digital humans and in-silico development will merge to form a true clinical digital twin – both visually and biologically. Forward-thinking organizations are beginning to experiment with utilizing digital humans as a staffing augmentation service that can address staffing shortages or perform undesirable tasks. As the field of digital healthcare continues to evolve, the collaboration...

Celebrating a family tradition: a recent medical school graduation
Last week, my niece, Maria Piedad Villadiego Carrascal, the only child of my sister, Maria A., graduated from medical school. In doing so, she became the seventh member of the Carrascal family to embrace medicine as a profession. It was an emotional moment. I could not hold back tears as I watched the event, which Read more… Celebrating a family tradition: a recent medical school graduation originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Raised Remnant Cholesterol Level Correlates with Frailty
Remnant cholesterol refers to circulating cholesterol in the bloodstream that is not attached to LDL transport particles coming from the liver or HDL transport particles going to the liver. The remnant is attached to some mix of VLDL and IDL particles that serve much the same purpose as LDL particles, or incorporated into much larger chylomicron transporters that carry dietary lipids from the intestines throughout the body. Researchers have noted that remnant cholesterol appears to contribute to cardiovascular risk, speeding the progression of atherosclerosis and increasing the risk of stroke and heart attack. It is...

Uncovering Diagnostic Information in the EHR with Regard
When doctors first see output from Regard’s AI analytics, they often say, “This is what I imagined the electronic medical record would be like when I heard about it for the first time.” Regard scans the patient’s medical records to find buried data that might be relevant to current treatment, and prepares a doctor’s note with that information. According to Eli Ben-Joseph, CEO and co-founder at Regard, their tool “amplifies and empowers doctors and nurses who use it to be the best they can be.” Regard is also dedicated to reducing the administrative burden on clinicians, where so ma...

Glycogen Phosphorylase Inhibition Improves Cognitive Function in Old Mice Only
Today's open access paper provides an interesting example of a pharmacological strategy that is beneficial to specific aspects of memory function in old mice, but detrimental to that same function in young mice. This is certainly possible, as the biochemistry of cells and tissues is nothing if not exceedingly complex, but this outcome tends to be unusual. More commonly, a therapy targeting causative mechanisms of aging, one that improves function in aged individuals, will do little to nothing for younger individuals, but will not be actively harmful. Here, clearly, the biochemistry of memory formation changes in mea...

Leaving medicine behind: a quest for purpose and well-being
In April of 2022, I decided to leave medicine after 18 years of practice, 13 of which were spent working with electronic medical records. During my final visit with a patient and her husband, as I informed them of my decision to retire from medicine, I noticed a peculiar look on the husband’s face. He Read more… Leaving medicine behind: a quest for purpose and well-being originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

The harm of the “ just do it ” culture in medicine: a story of postpartum depression
“There’s no such thing as postpartum depression.” These were the unsolicited words from my obstetrician in the third trimester of my first pregnancy. “It’s only sleep deprivation,” she explained. As an MD, I’d been taught there was indeed such a thing as postpartum depression. But as the patient in that interaction, a pregnant woman, I Read more… The harm of the “just do it” culture in medicine: a story of postpartum depression originally appeared in KevinMD.com.
