Quiz: Sepsis Science
Bacteria are the most common triggers of sepsis.Credit: Mark Ellisman and Thomas Deerinck, National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research, University of California San Diego. At least 1.7 million adults in the United States develop a life-threatening condition called sepsis each year. Sepsis is an overwhelming or impaired whole-body immune response that’s most often caused by bacterial infections. However, it can also be caused by viral infections, such as COVID-19 or influenza; fungal infections; or other injuries, including physical trauma.​​ Anyone can get sepsis, but there’s a higher risk ...

Dormant Neural Precursor Cells May Awaken Over Adult Life to Maintain the Brain
Neural stem cells residing within a few regions of the mammalian brain divide to generate new daughter neurons throughout adult life, the process of neurogenesis. Neurogenesis is particularly associated with functions such as memory, which requires changes in brain state driven by the creation of new neurons and neural connections. Additionally, however, researchers have identified a population of dormant progenitor cells that can mature into neurons, more broadly distributed throughout the brain. This population can be diminished and eventually exhausted by that activity, but researchers hypothesize that it could nonethel...

Support Growing for Pharmacists to Ease Physician Workload
In a recent survey, Surescripts found growing support for pharmacists to prescribe a select number of medications to patients, thus easing the workload on physicians. Technologies like direct messaging and record sharing is making this possible. Physician Shortage Physicians everywhere are overworked. This is especially true in primary care where there are not enough physicians to meet the growing patient demand. This is leading to access challenges and to burnout. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) predicts that by 2034 the US will be short: Between 17,800 and 48,000 primary care physicians Between 21,00...

How Policy Changes Can Fix Market Distortions in Healthcare and Improve the Country ’s Debt
The following is a guest article by Zach Markin, Co-Founder and CEO at HTD Health American healthcare is the most dysfunctional industry in our country. Historically, it is the most prolific driver of family bankruptcy, and now it is on its way to bankrupting our country collectively. A major justification for President Biden’s tax hike proposal is to shore up the tenuous finances of Medicare whose trust fund is forecasted to be depleted by 2028. While this is important, such efforts address the symptoms of a dysfunctional industry rather than the root causes. While the near-term liquidity and long-term financial health ...

Innovar Healthcare Knows How to Make Last Mile Interoperability a Reality
Patients, regulators, and payers are insisting on data exchange in health care. But despite the availability of FHIR and of APIs from many vendors, interoperability is often described as “difficult and “not frictionless” according to Loyd Bittle, CEO and Founder at Innovar Healthcare.  It takes a real expert with the right connections to make interoperability a reality for healthcare organizations. Innovar Healthcare, therefore, focuses on converting patient records between different formats and vendors and getting the patient data where it needs to go.

What Happens to Medicine in Your Body?
Medicines administered orally, by inhaler, and intravenously enter the stomach, lungs, and veins, respectively. They’re absorbed, then circulate throughout the body in the blood, are processed by the liver, and excreted by the kidneys and intestines. Credit: NIGMS. Have you ever wondered what happens inside your body when you take a medicine? An area of pharmacology called pharmacokinetics is the study of precisely that. Here, we follow a medicine as it enters the body, finds its therapeutic target (also called the active site), and then eventually leaves the body. To begin, a person takes or is given a dose of medi...
