AI can benefit care of patients with CVD, diabetes
Cardiology Today via Healio News
Artificial intelligence has the ability to affect CV and diabetes care for both patients and clinicians, a presenter said. AI provides the ability to take general principles and apply them to new environments. The most common use of AI is narrow AI, which is used for a restricted range of predefined functions to accomplish narrowly defined tasks, Loh said during his presentation.

4 tips to enhance patient communication as a medical student
AMA
After months off the wards due to safety precautions put in place to curb potential exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic, many medical students are returning to patient-facing roles. While communication skills are an emphasis throughout your medical training, they take on a new meaning and are vitally important once you begin interacting with patients during clinical rotations.

Machines rival expert analysis of stored red blood cell quality
Ryerson University - Faculty of Science via Science Daily
Once outside the body, stored blood begins degrading until, by day 42, they're no longer usable. Until now, assessing its quality has required laborious microscopic examination by human experts. A new study reveals two methodologies that combine machine learning and state-of-the-art imaging to automate the process and eliminate human bias. If standardized, it could ensure more consistent, accurate assessments, with increased efficiency and better patient outcomes.

Can connected wearable medical devices improve healthcare?
Design News
Opportunities abound for wearable medical devices that enable real-time patient monitoring as well as management of chronic health conditions. Because of their mobility and their flexibility, wearable medical devices can make life easier, Bill Betten, president of Betten Systems Solutions LLC, told MD+DI. Adoption of wearable health technology has been on a slow path, but changes in healthcare because of COVID-19 are driving interest for a number of reasons.

Model-based simulation to support the extended dosing regimens of atezolizumab
Doc Wire News
The currently recommended dosages of atezolizumab for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and urothelial carcinoma (UC) is 840 mg every 2 weeks, 1200 mg every 3 weeks (q3w), and 1680 mg every 4 weeks (q4w). However, it has been argued that these dosages may not be optimal. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of extended dosing regimens by population pharmacokinetics (PK) simulations and exposure-response (E-R) relationships.

Study highlights the need to standardize training around evaluating urine sediment tests
Boston Medical Center via News Medical
A new study shows that nephrologists do not always agree on their interpretation of images from urine sediment tests, which are frequently ordered to evaluate a variety of kidney diseases. Led by researchers at Boston Medical Center and published in JAMA Network Open, the findings indicate the need to standardize education and training around evaluating urine sediment tests to improve the test's reliability, and help prevent misinterpretation and potential patient harm.

Virtual imaging trials can improve CT and X-Ray use in COVID-19 patients
Diagnostic Imaging
CT scans and X-ray images can be safely tested and optimized with virtual imaging trials, newly published research shows.
In an article published ahead-of-print in the American Journal of Roentgenology, investigators from Duke University outlined how virtual imaging — using computational models to emulate imaging — can be used to improve care of patients with COVID-19.
