Cloud over colon cancer blood test
The article discusses a new blood-based screening test for colon cancer that was recently approved by the FDA. However, experts have raised concerns about the test because it has not been shown to improve mortality rates compared to other screening methods. The test may be more effective at detecting advanced cancers rather than improving outcomes. While the test could increase screening rates by addressing challenges with current methods, doctors need more evidence that it actually reduces colon cancer deaths before widely incorporating it into practice.

This document describes a study examining the implementation of a screening program for cancer-related distress. It found that screening increased clinicians' detection of distress, led to more patients' needs being met, and improved quality of care. Specifically, clinicians were more likely to offer help to patients who screened positive for distress or depression. The screening also clarified unmet needs and patients' desire for help. Based on these results, the study will move forward with an RCT of screening plus intervention for patients receiving radiotherapy.

Pet scan shows cancer
Pet scan is used for doctors in various ways. It helps the doctors to identify the disease, view the overall results of the treatment and prepare for surgery. It is mostly connected with brain conditions, heart disease, and cancer. The doctors use the PET scan identify cancer, see whether it has been spread, check the level of treatment, how the treatment is working and find out whether it can arrive even after treatment. The doctor uses PET scan results for evaluating brain conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, seizures, stroke, and tumors. Go through this website for best PET scan tests.

This document summarizes the eSBIRTes project which implemented electronic screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment for polydrug users in emergency services across Europe. The project involved training emergency department staff to identify at-risk drug users and provide computer-based screening and self-help. Screening found most clients to be at low risk of problems with alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, amphetamines, and GHB. Evaluation found staff felt prepared for the intervention and clients found the emergency department a suitable setting, though communication and resources were limited. Adapting the tools for other settings was recommended.
POC Breast 1 | 2007 - Adjuvant Chemotherapy
The document discusses survey results from clinical investigators and practicing oncologists on their use of adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for breast cancer patients. The most common regimens used were anthracycline-containing regimens like AC for node-negative patients and TAC for node-positive patients. More clinicians were using taxane-containing regimens like AC followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel-cyclophosphamide over time. Many clinicians had information on or used gene expression assays like Oncotype DX or MammaPrint to guide chemotherapy decisions.
Cost effective healthcare in medical imaging
This document discusses the rising costs of medical imaging and strategies to reduce costs. It notes that diagnostic imaging is the fastest growing component of healthcare costs, with up to a third of procedures being inappropriate. Digital imaging technologies can reduce costs compared to conventional methods when accounting for long-term costs. However, overuse of imaging from increased physician requests and patient demands contributes to higher costs. Promoting the appropriate use of diagnostic imaging through guidelines and reducing unnecessary procedures can help lower costs while maintaining quality of care.

This document discusses research on developing predictive and prescriptive models for patient-specific management of adrenal incidentalomas. The objectives are to 1) develop a clinical prediction model to predict if an adrenal incidentaloma is clinically relevant, and 2) derive a prescriptive model for patient-specific management. The predictive models performed well in tests and the prescriptive model was able to save 15-25% of patients from unnecessary work-up while still identifying all clinically relevant patients. Future work involves refining the models with additional data and external validation.
Carlo Di Mario - Recent Publications & Research in CTO: 2015-16
This document summarizes recent publications and research on chronic total occlusions (CTOs) from 2015-2016. It finds that the number of published manuscripts on CTOs has significantly increased in recent years. Several studies examined outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on CTOs versus medical therapy or bypass surgery, finding lower mortality and adverse event rates with PCI. Other publications identified predictors of successful CTO recanalization and evaluated new techniques and scoring systems. Additional research investigated the physiological and anatomical changes in CTO arteries pre- and post-PCI using imaging modalities like intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and computed tomography angiography (CTA).

The document describes the design and testing of a decision support tool for intelligently setting guardrail limits on smart infusion pumps. The tool allows users to set guardrails based on simple rules to reduce missed detections. Testing of a rule to set thresholds to eliminate missed detections for morphine doses in adults showed that it greatly increased the false alarm rate from 46% to 99.5%, while eliminating all missed detections. The conclusions discuss expanding the tool to more drugs and rules, and reducing remaining false alarms through manual threshold adjustments.
Ms. Jane, Dr. Machine will see you now: Doctorless Healthcare
Machine learning has the potential to replace up to 80% of doctors by being more accurate and objective than the average physician. Diagnostic errors cause over 40,500 adult patient deaths in ICUs annually in the US, higher than deaths from HIV or firearms injuries. Doctors are subject to cognitive biases that can influence diagnosis, but machine learning could help by running diagnostic tests, generating hypotheses based on patterns in data, and providing a "second opinion" to reduce errors from biases. While human interaction and empathy are important, machine learning may be able to assist doctors in reducing diagnostic errors.
Predicting Diabetic Readmission Rates: Moving Beyond HbA1c
Are you interested in learning how to prevent hospital readmissions for your diabetic population? It is a popular belief that measuring blood glucose for your diabetic population is the most predictive variable in determining a hospital readmission for a diabetic. However, many providers of care simply do not perform the test on known diabetic patients. This study takes a look at an advanced analytic method that works within the current healthcare providers workflow to looks to identify the likelihood of a future 30-day unplanned readmission before hospital discharge.

5 dangerous ideas
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Wayne Pan of the Santa Clara County IPA (SCCIPA) on 5 "dangerous ideas" for improving healthcare quality. The ideas are: 1) Ask how health plans can help providers rather than what providers can do for plans, 2) Require providers to use a common EHR platform for communication, 3) Use the EHR platform to provide performance feedback, 4) Implement physician bonus programs tied to quality targets, and 5) Focus on coordinating care for the whole patient through reminders, checklists and follow-ups. The document provides examples of how SCCIPA has implemented these ideas, such as engaging office staff, using data to drive feedback, and linking

Confronting Diagnostic Error-Employer
The document discusses diagnostic error in healthcare. It begins by noting that inaccurate diagnoses, incorrect treatments, and lack of diagnoses contribute to unnecessary costs, inefficiency, and patient dissatisfaction. Improving diagnostic accuracy can help achieve quality, control costs, and increase patient satisfaction. The document then discusses:
- The high incidence of diagnostic errors, which result in tens of thousands of deaths per year and enormous financial tolls.
- Evidence that diagnostic errors commonly cause patient harm and occur across primary care, inpatient, and outpatient settings.
- An innovative solution of independent virtual second opinions to address diagnostic errors by improving accuracy and ensuring appropriate treatment.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
ECG:
●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity has two phases:
Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm
AvF- Left leg
3.Chest Leads:
V1 : Over 4th intercostal
space near right sternal margin
V2: Over 4th intercostal space near left sternal margin
V3:In between V2 and V4
V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec
Dimension of ECG:

Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.
