Einfallendes Licht wird durch einen 50:50-Strahlteiler in zwei verschiedene Lichtstrahlen derselben Intensität und fester relativer Phase aufgeteilt und an einem zweiten Strahlteiler wieder überlagert. Da das Licht vom Eingang aus, jeden der beiden Ausgänge auf zwei verschiedenen Wegen erreichen kann, kommt es zur Interferenz zwischen den Lichtstrahlen, welche den „oberen“ bzw. den „unteren“ Weg genommen haben, wodurch die Intensität in beiden Ausgängen von der optischen Weglängendifferenz zwischen den beiden Wegen abhängt.

Are AI-based at-the-patient devices that enable primary care physicians to identify cancer a paradigm shift in medicine? Their effect on the practice of medicine could be seen as just part of a continuum of change of the type previously brought by consult room/bedside/instant lab molecular-based diagnostic tests in various disciplines. Whether you see AI-based approaches of this type as a revolution or an evolution - they certainly bring interesting questions in regulation and implementation. Not least if which is how is bias and skin colour applicability addressed - so it is worth reading our article with Harvard Medical School Kaushik Venkatesh Kushal Kadakia Stephen Gilbert https://lnkd.in/eAd5NHNJ Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Digital Health Nature Portfolio

Endometriosis is more than a medical condition; it’s a sneaky thief that can rob some women of motherhood aspirations, often leaving them to face the devastating experience of infertility.      That’s why early detection and effective treatments are so important.     A recent study published in the 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴, entitled, “The Cellular Respiration of Endometrial Biopsies from Patients with Various Forms of Endometriosis,” indicates the key to targeted therapies may lie in the metabolic characteristics of endometriosis.     The study showed there is a difference in mitochondrial respiratory rates, depending upon the complexity and subtype of endometriosis.     The value of this study for ENDOSURE, INC. is that the ENDOSURE TEST’s activity index is most likely a measure of this mitochondrial respiratory activity.    When asked about this, Dr. Mark Noar, inventor of the ENDOSURE TEST, said:    “This paper represents a critical piece of the puzzle of this -- until now -- difficult to diagnose disease. The ENDOSURE TEST result activity level appears to mirror the activity level of the disease and will change in proportion to the disease activity. After surgical excision of disease, we see the disease activity level normalize. Similarly, we also see the test result level decrease after the introduction of symptom controlling medication. This suggests that the ENDOSURE TEST allows for easy-to-implement, post treatment monitoring...something completely missing in today’s management of endometriosis.”    The ENDOSURE TEST is the only non-invasive, 30-minute, 99+% accurate diagnostic tool that can diagnose the presence of endometriosis regardless of the disease stage (I, II, III, or IV). This powerful tool empowers clinicians to gain deeper insights into endometriosis and develop more effective, targeted therapies, restoring hope to every woman affected by this debilitating disease.  𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?   #Endometriosis #Femtech #WomensHealth #Medtech

It’s been a little while… Stopped by to bring some insights on this research I found it interesting 🤨 This Illuminates the Impact of Atrial Functional Mitral Regurgitation Severity on Patient Outcomes 🚨 A recent multicenter study spanning 26 centers across Japan has made significant strides in understanding the impact of atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) on patient outcomes. This study, the first of its kind, systematically analyzed 1,007 patients with moderate to severe AFMR, revealing crucial insights into how the severity of this condition influences the risk of adverse events. Key Findings: • Severity Matters: Patients with severe AFMR exhibited a significantly higher risk of death, heart failure hospitalization, and mitral valve interventions. • Quantitative Thresholds: Effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) ≥0.30, regurgitant volume ≥60 mL, and regurgitant fraction ≥50% were identified as critical markers that predict higher event risks. • Consistent Risk Across Groups: Despite similar age, sex, and left ventricular ejection fractions, patients with severe AFMR faced worse outcomes, emphasizing the importance of severity assessment in clinical practice. Implications for Healthcare: This study underscores the necessity of both qualitative and quantitative assessments in managing AFMR. By establishing clear thresholds for intervention, healthcare professionals can better plan treatment strategies, potentially improving the prognosis for thousands of patients suffering from this condition. 👉 What This Means for Cardiologists: The findings from this study provide a valuable framework for evaluating AFMR severity and tailoring intervention approaches more effectively. 🔍 The Way Forward: As we continue to explore the nuances of AFMR, this research lights the path for future studies and enhances our understanding, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions that improve patient care outcomes. 💡 Interested in the full details of this pivotal study?

In an ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment plans and improved patient outcomes. This is why I’m pleased to share that Novartis Canada has partnered with Clarius Mobile Health to improve accessibility to medical imaging in Canada. This partnership provides rheumatologists with access to an AI-enabled portable ultrasound device and a comprehensive training program, to help decrease the time to detection for patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). With more than half of patients with PsA waiting two or more years for a diagnosis, I'm eager to see how our efforts will positively impact the lives of people living with the disease. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with The Globe and Mail to discuss this partnership and the relationship between healthcare and technology.

Ist die optische Weglänge für beide Wege gleich ( Δ Φ = 0 {\displaystyle \Delta \Phi =0} ) dann ist die Intensität im Ausgang 4 (nach oben) maximal (konstruktive Interferenz) und im Ausgang 3 (nach rechts) null (destruktive Interferenz). Dies ergibt sich aus den Reflexions- und Transmissionsprozessen an den beiden Strahlteilern. Auf dem Weg von 1 nach 4 kommt es entweder zu zwei Reflexionen, die jeweils einen Phasensprung von 180º bewirken, (oberer Weg) oder zu zwei Transmissionen (keine Phasensprünge), sodass die Phasendifferenz insgesamt 360º beträgt und die beiden Wege im Ausgang 4 konstruktiv interferieren. Dagegen ergibt sich für die beiden Wege von 1 nach 3 eine Phasendifferenz von 180º zwischen oberen und unterem Weg (und damit destruktive Interferenz), da es zwar auf jedem der beiden Wege zu einer Reflexion kommt, aber nur auf dem oberen Weg eine Reflexion am optisch dichteren Medium stattfindet, während am zweiten Strahlteiler an der Grenze zum optisch dünneren Medium reflektiert wird, was keinen Phasensprung zur Folge hat.[1]

Improving patient-physician communication through shared decision-making is essential for enhancing outcomes and satisfaction in healthcare. A recent study focusing on patients undergoing Hallux Valgus correction found that perception of SDM was related to demographic and clinical factors. Patients with symptoms of depression and lower socioeconomic status reported lower levels of SDM. However, interestingly, postoperative outcomes were not directly influenced by SDM scores. This highlights the importance of addressing patient-specific factors in communication to improve overall satisfaction and quality of care. #PatientPhysicianCommunication #SharedDecisionMaking #HealthcareOutcomes #HalluxValgusStudy #patientexperience Laura Cooley, PhD Sage https://lnkd.in/easKhPzP
