Medical professionals need to be cognizant of the effects of aging on their patients. Those involved in the training of tomorrow’s professionals, in the Health Science programs at the Collier County School District’s Lorenzo Walker Technical College and Lorenzo Walker Technical High School, are also very much aware. In 2019, the Health Science offerings include surgical technology, nursing assistant, medical assistant, phlebotomy, dental assistant and pharmacy technician training.

 Every year, millions of babies around the world die within the first 4 weeks/28 days of life. According to the World Health Organization, 45% of all under-5 child deaths in 2017 were newborn infants, most of whom lacked access to skilled neonatal care.
CAE Luna: Everything You've Been Waiting for in Neonatal Simulation
For infant healthcare training that exceeds expectations, CAE Healthcare has developed CAE Luna, a new, versatile infant baby patient simulator that's uniquely designed to address a comprehensive range of neonatal healthcare training needs. From routine care to critical interventions and post-resuscitation stabilization of a neonate, CAE Luna effectively satisfies requirements for Infant Nursing Skills, Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS), and the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP).

Five-year-old Hal had just been rescued after accidentally falling into the deep end of a family swimming pool. The boy is still unconscious when he arrives at the emergency room. His pupils are dilated. His breathing is shallow. Suddenly, Hal has no pulse. That’s one of the real-life scenarios students in Victoria College’s Respiratory Care Program have experienced with the recent acquisition of state-of-the art mannequins that simulate realistic patient responses. Funding for the mannequins and other new technology for the program was made possible by a $216,500 grant from the M.G. and Lillie A. Johnson Foundation.

Crain's Detroit Business
Doctors and dentists don't have a grand tradition of working closely together. But soon, medical and dental students in metro Detroit will be studying together — learning how to coordinate care and collaborate to prevent chronic diseases in the body and mouth — as a partnership begins in March between Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine and the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.

Digital technology has made simulator-based education much easier to acquire for vocational-technical schools and colleges. The benefits for students in healthcare classes are apparent when considered against the necessity of recruiting human volunteers, or, as in one of Sandy Patoka’s memories of her college program, working on other students.

3D Printing Industry
Additive manufacturing and 3D scanning have been increasingly integrated within the healthcare sector. 3D Systems, in particular, has contributed significantly to the advancement of surgical procedures with this technology. In 2018, the company, based in Rock Hill, South Carolina, began offering its Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) technology as well as its range of 3D anatomical models through medical technology firm Stryker. As a result, 3D Systems has provided VSP or anatomical services in more than 100,000 cases, including facial reconstruction surgery and full facial transplants.

To get a better idea of how long the process takes, a journalist simulated what a heart attack patient would go through once they're loaded into an ambulance. Paramedics immediately put heart monitors on the "patient" to check vital signs. Once they had that information, they called Astria Health Center to relay that information to emergency room team — shaving off the time it would take to deliver that information after they arrive.

The same virtual reality (VR) reconstructions that surgeons use to plan and rehearse brain surgeries at Hoag Memorial Hospital are being used to engage patients. And neurosurgeons, administrators and patients are all benefitting. The volume of neurosurgery — and revenues — rose steeply during the three year phase in of VR at Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach, California, and the reason relates to VR, said neurosurgeon Robert G. Louis.

Frontiers in Pediatrics via Medical Express
In a simulation training study, pediatric team leaders who wore a blindfold improved their leadership skills ratings by 11 percent over the course of three resuscitation scenarios, versus 5 percent for non blindfolded leaders. Published in Frontiers in Pediatrics, the findings demonstrate a promising tool for improving training and outcomes in pediatric resuscitation.

Joo Sung Kim, of the department of medicine at Seoul National University College of Medicine in South Korea, and colleagues wrote that advances in endoscope technology has allowed for the potential of real-time characterization of polyps, but concerns remain about the reproducibility and generalizability of real-time optical diagnosis. Their study looked at the Seoul National University Hospital’s Gangnam-REA1 time optical Diagnosis (Gangnam-READI) program, designed as a quality improvement program for less experienced endoscopists.

Daniel Spencer is a business manager at Charlton Morris, an executive search firm specializing in orthopedics, spine and simulation. He argues that while adoption of virtual reality and simulation represents a “leap of faith” for hospitals, the technology has enormous potential for medical training and presurgical planning. Artificial intelligence and virtual reality dominated technological headlines in 2018, and the excitement around both shows no sign of abating.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare can help manage and analyze data, make decisions and conduct conversations. The availability of AI is destined to drastically change physicians’ roles and everyday practices. It is key that physicians be able to adapt to changes in diagnostics, therapeutics and practices of maintaining patient safety and privacy. However, physicians need to be aware of ethically complex questions about implementation, uses and limitations of AI in healthcare.

Healthcare is rapidly moving towards precision medicine, which offers a deeper understanding of human physiology using genetic insights and advances in technology. This is pivotal in alleviating unnecessary suffering related to medical care, due to unintended side effects which can result from the current one-size-fits-all approach. It will also reduce the cost of treatment by eliminating ineffective treatment plans at outset based on data insights.

There’s an app for seemingly everything to help us live better healthier lives, but it seems the outcomes of these apps show little evidence of positive prognoses. Perhaps the best way to describe these digital health tools is that they have a big hat but no cattle. According to a study published by Health Affairs, even though the developers of the technologies study their effectiveness, these studies "rarely used randomized controlled trials, depended on small study populations and generally focused on healthier individuals."

Researchers at the University of Oslo are now developing a computer program that can help oncologists find the best personalised treatment for each patient. The hope is to be able to cure far more patients. His idea is to use mathematical and statistical methods to develop a computer program that will propose the best cancer treatment. Arnoldo Frigessi is an expert in describing biological processes with mathematical models. He works closely with everyone from oncologists and pathologists to molecular biologists, statisticians and mathematicians.

Kenosha News
About a dozen people gathered in a half circle around the surgical table set up on the carpeted floor of the Kenosha Civil War Museum during a recent snowy afternoon. Joining them was the 17th Corps Field Hospital, the largest such medical unit in the Midwest, with re-enactors who play the roles of doctors, surgeons and nurses who were about to operate on the “victim,” a life-size replica of an injured soldier who laid upon the table.
