New technologies in medicine

Medicine borrowed sonar technology from the military and used it to identify body organs and problems without surgery. This sonar technology, called ultrasound, could detect gallstones and prostate-gland malfunctions and had many other uses. Its most wide-spread use was in obstetrics, where it was used to monitor almost half of all pregnancies and deliveries by 1979.

Priority setting for new technologies in medicine: A transdisciplinary study

BACKGROUND: Decision makers in health care organizations struggle with how to set priorities for new technologies in medicine. Traditional approaches to priority setting for new technologies in medicine are insufficient and there is no widely accepted model that can guide decision makers. DISCUSSION: Daniels and Sabin have developed an ethically based account about how priority setting decisions should be made. We have developed an empirically based account of how priority setting decisions are made. In this paper, we integrate these two accounts into a transdisciplinary model of priority setting for new technologies in medicine that is both ethically and empirically based. SUMMARY: We have developed a transdisciplinary model of priority setting that provides guidance to decision makers that they can operationalize to help address priority setting problems in their institution

New technologies in medicine and healthcare: benefits and drawbacks

Advancements in technology have revolutionized the healthcare industry, enabling us to detect, diagnose,and treat medical conditions with greater accuracy and speed than ever before. From electronic health recordsto telemedicine, these technologies are improving patient outcomes, enhancing communication between healthcareprofessionals, and reducing healthcare costs.One of the most exciting technologies in medicine is Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI algorithms can analyzevast amounts of medical data and provide insights into diseases that would be impossible for humansto identify [1]. For example, AI has been used to identify early signs of cardiovascular diseases and to detectbreast cancer in mammograms with greater accuracy than human radiologists [2]. However, some expertshave expressed concern that AI could replace human doctors, leading to a lack of empathy and a loss of thepersonal touch in healthcare.Telemedicine is another technology that is gaining popularity, particularly in rural areas where access tohealthcare can be limited. Telemedicine allows doctors to consult with patients remotely, using video conferencingand other technologies to diagnose and treat medical conditions [3]. This can save patients time andmoney, as well as reduce the burden on healthcare providers. However, telemedicine is not suitable for allmedical conditions, and there are concerns about privacy and security when it comes to transmitting sensitivemedical information over the internet.Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are another technology that is transforming healthcare. EHRs enablehealthcare providers to access a patient’s medical history, medications, and test results quickly and easily.This can improve patient outcomes by reducing errors and providing doctors with a complete picture of apatient’s health. However, there are concerns about data privacy and security when it comes to storing sensitivemedical information electronically. Some solutions have arrived, as blockchain technologies [4].In conclusion, technology has the potential to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes. Thesetechnologies offer exciting possibilities for the future of medicine. However, it is important to consider theethical, privacy, and security implications of these technologies and to ensure that they are used in a waythat benefits patients without compromising their rights or safety.Advancements in technology have revolutionized the healthcare industry, enabling us to detect, diagnose,and treat medical conditions with greater accuracy and speed than ever before.

The impact of co-infection of influenza A virus on the severity of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus

This article is made available for unrestricted research re-use and secondary analysis in any form or by any means with acknowledgement of the original source. These permissions are granted for the duration of the World Health Organization (WHO) declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic.Ho and colleagues recently drew attention to the consequences of co-infection with Influenza and HIV.1 We present four cases of combined infection with influenza and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection. Nasopharyngeal swabs or tracheal aspirates were tested for MERS-CoV using real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).2, 3 Samples were tested for Influenza A, B and H1N1 by rapid molecular test (GenEXper for detection of flu A, B and 2009 H1N1, Cepheid)

Primary tumor sidedness and benefit from FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab as initial therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. Retrospective analysis of the TRIBE trial by GONO

Right-sided metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients have poor prognosis and achieve limited benefit from first-line doublets plus a targeted agent. In this unplanned analysis of the TRIBE study, we investigated the prognostic and predictive impact of primary tumor sidedness in mCRC patients and the differential impact of the intensification of the chemotherapy in subgroups defined according to both primary tumor sidedness and RAS and BRAF mutational status

Nanotechnology and medicine improvement

Nanotechnology has become an extraordinarily hopeful area in several human domains. Many scientific disciplines are developing their works in this area since the emergence of nanoscale, giving their contribution to the development of nanosciences. Many recent researches in areas as physical sciences, molecular engineering, biology, biotechnology and medicine for example are contributing for the investigation of biosystems at a nanoscale. Nanotechnology and nanobiosystems are becoming a privileged domain to reach an advanced level in the human development in many fields, as the examples of the biotechnology processes, the synthesis of new drugs and their delivery on a live body, the regenerative medicine and the new technologies in medicine (biotechnology and nanotechnology), body area networks for telemedicine (nanomedicine, nanoimaging, nanotechnological implants, in-body diagnostic systems, nanobiomedical wired devices, etc), or the application on the sustainability of the environment. Nanoscale may provide the tools to get improved conditions to investigate biosystems and to get advances with nanomaterials. These nanoscales, used in biosystems, contribute to enhance very innovative and promising results in medical area. Improvements in the telemedicine and on health are expectable with new systems operations and new nanotechniques. Many ethical problems and also legal and social implications are posed and the need for discussing this theme shows the importance of nanotechnology to the society and the consequences, both positive and negative, that the development of nanotechnology will have to mankind in the future.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Post-graduate medical education in public health: The case of Italy and a call for action

Public health technical expertise is of crucial importance to inform decision makers\u2019 action in the field of health and its broader determinants. Improving education and training of public health professionals for both practice and research is the starting point to strengthen the role of public health so that current health challenges can be efficiently tackled. At the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) Deans\u2019 & Directors\u2019 2017 Annual Retreat, we presented the structure and management of public health training system in Italy, and we reported recent data on Italian public health specialists\u2019 educational experience, employment opportunities and job satisfaction. Public health training in Italy is implemented in the context of the post-graduate medical education residency programme in Hygiene and Preventive Medicine, delivered by 34 University-based Schools of Public Health. We report relatively high employment rates across the county and wide spectrum of career opportunities for young public health specialists. However, job security is low and training expectations only partially met. We call upon other Schools of Public Health to scale up the survey within the broad ASPHER community in a shared and coordinated action of systematically collecting useful data that can inform the development of public health education and training models, their implementation and fruitful interaction with population health, health systems and services
