New Collection of Articles on Language Equity in Medical Education
To recognize and demonstrate that all persons are valued and respected, academic medicine ideally will reflect the communication needs and language preferences of the population. We have curated a collection of articles with the intent of helping readers understand historical perspectives on the need to address language-related health disparities and informing strategies to enhance language-appropriate health care training and assessment at their institutions. Each of us, Dr. Pilar Ortega and Dr. Débora Silva, brings a different perspective on language equity informed by our personal and professional experiences. I (P....

Towards an Improved Suppression of Maladaptive Inflammation
This article reviews the current regulatory role of miR-7 in inflammation and related diseases, including viral infection, autoimmune hepatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and encephalitis. It expounds on the molecular mechanism by which miR-7 regulates the occurrence of inflammatory diseases. Finally, the existing problems and future development directions of miR-7-based intervention on inflammation and related diseases are discussed to provide new references and help strengthen the understanding of the pathogenesis of inflammation and related diseases, as well as the development of new strategies for clinical intervention.

Emerging Technologies in Healthcare IT and Their Regulatory Considerations
Everybody loves to get and play with new toys. When we were children the toys were things like Barbies or Play-Doh. Now the toys we’re excited to get and play with are the emerging technologies in healthcare like AI or IoT devices. The big difference though is we can’t take these toys out and play with them with abandon like we did with the Play-Doh. While new and exciting, there are serious consequences to think about and regulations that need to be put in place and that will be put in place. To talk more about the regulatory considerations for implementing these emerging technologies, we reached out to our in...

Healthcare Organizations at Risk: BYOD and Mobile Devices are Increasing Cybersecurity Concerns
The following is a guest article by Kern Smith, Mobile Security Expert at Zimperium The healthcare industry has been transforming radically over the past decade with the common goal of improving the way healthcare is delivered to patients. In the last few years alone, we’ve watched as healthcare organizations have quickly become mobile-powered businesses with the migration to electronic health records, patients increasingly using mobile apps to view test results, schedule appointments, contact their care provider, and even control their medical devices. Although this shift has brought many advantages such as more accurat...

The Heart Has High Energy Needs, Making it Vulnerable to Age-Related Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Not all tissues are equal in their energy needs. The brain and more consistently active muscles, such as the heart, are at the top of the list. Energy for cell and tissue processes is provided by the chemical energy store molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is produced by mitochondria. Every cell contains hundreds of mitochondria, the descendants of ancient symbiotic bacteria now evolved to become fully integrated cell components. Mitochondria still replicate much like bacteria, each containing a small remnant circular genome. When damaged or dysfunctional, mitochondria are cleared by the complex process of mitoph...

The essence of medicine: genuine connections in practice
Remember organic chemistry? I have a distinct memory of a rainy December day many years ago. I am standing in the hallway of the chemistry building at UC Davis, looking at a list taped to the wall of social security numbers and corresponding grades. I have just found my grade in organic chemistry, which is Read more… The essence of medicine: genuine connections in practice originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Vital Makes Health Information More Accessible for Patients
Vital illustrates how the new wave of generative AI technologies can contribute to a better life for millions of people. Vital is using AI to take inscrutable test results and doctors’ notes, full of abbreviations and jargon, and produce meaningful explanations for patients in common English. What about errors? According to Aaron Patzer, CEO, Vital’s doctor-to-patient medical note translator is more accurate on average than the summaries produced by doctors themselves.  Plus, with Patzer’s background as Founder of Mint.com, he’s obsessed with making the user interface great for those that use Vita...

Q & A With Dylan Burnette: Muscle Cells, Cell Movement, and Microscopy
Courtesy of Dr. Dylan Burnette. “We scientists know very little of what can be known—I find that invigorating,” says Dylan Burnette, Ph.D., an associate professor of cell and developmental biology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee. “Most people find it exhausting, but I’m comfortable with not knowing all of biology’s secrets.” In an interview, Dr. Burnette shared his lab’s work on muscle cells, the knowledge he hopes readers take away from his research, and some advice to future scientists about being comfortable being wrong. Q: How did you first become interested in s...

The Case for a Hybrid Cloud/Colo Strategy for Healthcare Organizations
The following is a guest article by Dale Quayle, CEO at RF Code The data center infrastructure is constantly evolving. Over the last 12 months, companies have turned more frequently to cloud deployment for its presumed benefits. However, as this trend develops, many companies are recognizing the limitations of the cloud-only model and repatriating infrastructure tied to critical data in a housed facility. On-premises IT infrastructure is not going away anytime soon, and enterprise IT leaders have discovered that their on-premises infrastructure is necessary for specific uses. On-premise and cloud computing offer valuable b...

Towards Engraftment of New Stem Cells into Damaged Lungs
Perhaps the most important challenge in the field of regenerative medicine is to enable engraftment and survival of transplanted cells, allowing new cell populations to replace those made damaged or dysfunctional due to age, injury, or other causes. Despite some advances, survival of transplanted cells remains a significant challenge. Here is one example of signs of progress on this front, however. Judging by the recent past, solutions discovered by researchers are likely to continue to be tissue specific. This implies that a great deal more work lies ahead in order to build a usefully broad toolkit to allow creation and t...

Has Sensemaking Collapsed When It Comes To U.S. Healthcare?
By MIKE MAGEE This past week my wife and I were at a family event to celebrate my brother-in-law’s 70th birthday. Our extended family has more than a few doctors. A physician nephew who had read CODE BLUE and had a strong interest in health policy asked if I felt I (and others) were too hard on doctors. My response was yes, but that it was intentional and came with the territory. Combining scientific, sometimes life and death expertise, with high-touch compassion, understanding and partnership has always been a “big ask” but that was what we and others had signed up for as “health professionals.” But can a ...
