Smart machines IBM’s watson and the era of cognitive computingWirehead Technology
We are at the dawn of a major shift in the evolution of technology. The next two decades will transform the way people live and work just as the computing revolution has transformed the human landscape over the past half century. The host of opportunities and challenges that come with this new era will require a new generation of technologies and a rewriting of the rules of computing.
Healthcare is in crisis. While this is not news for many
countries, we believe what is now different is that the
current paths of many healthcare systems around the
world will become unsustainable by 2015.
This may seem a contrarian conclusion, given the efforts
of competent and dedicated healthcare professionals
and the promise of genomics, regenerative medicine, and
information-based medicine. Yet, it is also true that costs
are rising rapidly; quality is poor or inconsistent; and
access or choice in many countries is inadequate.
Introduction
The increasing use of smartphones and tablet computers as business tools has brought organizations and their employees new levels of productivity, flexibility and mobility. But their use is a double-edged sword, bringing with it new levels of complexity to IT management and security.
The shift to mobile is dramatically changing the way people work and companies do business. IT departments are being challenged to effectively manage resources and infrastructure to support the mobile enterprise. The stakes are high, and enterprise mobility solutions are complex. To succeed, you need more than a piecemeal solution. You need a partner who can deliver a true end-to-end mobility service.
This white paper discusses how HP solutions can help healthcare providers implement bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives securely. BYOD allows doctors, nurses and patients to access healthcare resources using their personal mobile devices like tablets and smartphones.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

2. The HITECH Act and Meaningful Use
Sweeping healthcare reform measures of the Stimulus Act created programs under the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid (CMS) that provide for incentive payments to eligible professionals who are meaningful users of certified
EHR technology. On July 13, 2010, CMS announced its final rule on the EHR Incentive Program defining how incentive
payments will be disbursed. Physicians must choose to participate in either the Medicare (up to $44,000) or Medicaid
(up to $63,750) program and cannot receive payments from both.
To qualify for incentives, eligible professionals must:
• Adopt EHR Technology: Beginning in 2011, adopt a qualified EHR as certified by an ONC authorized testing
and certification body (ONC-ATCB).
• Demonstrate meaningful use of EHR technology: Use the EHR in a meaningful manner; exchange information
with another EHR system; and use the EHR system to submit clinical quality measures to the Secretary of the ONC.
How does the Medicare Fee for Service (FFS) Incentive Program work?
Through Medicare, each eligible physician may earn up to $44,000 over a five-year period. These cash incentives are paid
out directly to EPs or to their employers. Practices with multiple physicians will be eligible to receive incentive payments
for each provider. CMS will disburse Medicare EHR bonus payments once a year, from 2011-2015, according to the
following schedule and for meeting the appropriate stages of meaningful use.

*Providers must have implemented and compiled reports on clinical quality measures prior to filing for incentive payments.
For the first adoption year, physicians are eligible for up to 75% of allowable Medicare charges, subject to a maximum of
$15,000. In addition, the first-year payment is increased to $18,000 if adoption occurs in 2011 or 2012. To qualify for the
maximum payment of $18,000 in the first year, each provider must bill Medicare a minimum of $24,000.
Incentive payments are reduced for each subsequent year within the five year period: $12,000 for year two, $8,000 for year
three, $4,000 for year four, and $2,000 for year five. No incentive payments will be offered to physicians who first become
eligible after 2014. The program pays out lower incentives for late adopters, so there are added bonuses for adopting early!

Two Ways to Buy
MDsuite.EMR will be available in both licensed (using your servers) and hosted (using our servers) models. Pricing is
dependent on the number of providers and allied health professionals (AHPs):
• AHPs may enter information into an encounter but cannot complete the note
• Providers are the gatekeepers for information being recorded into the chart—only providers may complete a
progress note or add information to the chart
Each provider license allows for five concurrent operators and each AHP license allows for two concurrent users. The
number of users will be added to your current user count.
