Study explores the use of deep learning algorithm to detect occlusal caries

A diagnostic study on the detection of occlusal caries from a clinical photograph using a deep learning algorithm will be presented at the 101st General Session of the IADR, which will be held in conjunction with the 9th Meeting of the Latin American Region and the 12th World Congress on Preventive Dentistry on June 21-24, 2023, in Bogotá, Colombia. The Interactive Talk presentation, “Automated Detection of Occlusal Caries Using Deep Learning Algorithm,” will take place on Saturday, June 24 at 4:25 p.m. Colombia Time (UTC-05:00) during the “Prevalence of Health Conditions and Risk Factors” session. The study by Chukwuebuka Elozona Ogwo of Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, U.S. sought to determine the accuracy, precision, and sensitivity of the YOLOv7 object detection algorithm in occlusal caries detection from clinical photographs and (2) develop software for occlusal caries detection. Only consenting adults (>=18 years old) with permanent dentition receiving care at the Temple ...

Dive Brief Intuitive Surgical’s minimally invasive bronchoscopy platform Ion may provide “some of the most exciting advancements in robotic technology” in the coming years, according to analysts at BTIG. While Ion contributed an estimated $115 million of the company’s $6.2 billion in revenue last year, the analysts see scope for Intuitive to grow sales by capturing more of the lung biopsy market and expanding into the ablation of tumors. Intuitive competes for the bronchoscopy market with Johnson & Johnson’s Monarch platform. The analysts estimate there are about twice as many Ion systems as Monarch devices in use. Dive Insight Intuitive’s success rests on its da Vinci robotic platform and discussions of the future of the company focus on whether J&J and Medtronic can challenge the dominance of that device, the BTIG analysts said. “Intuitive’s push into robotic bronchoscopy is purposeful, not just simply for the bronchoscopy opportunity, but for its ...

New white paper on challenges and opportunities in theranostics education

Leaders from 12 nuclear medicine organizations around the world have issued a white paper about the challenges and opportunities in theranostics education. Published in the June issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, the report outlines the current theranostic educational and accreditation offerings across the globe. It also provides guidelines to assist countries in developing educational and training curriculums that enable physicians to confidently and safely perform nuclear theranostics procedures. The concept of theranostics refers to the integration of therapeutics and diagnostics into a single management approach. Through their high sensitivity and specificity, theranostic radiopharmaceuticals have started to play a major role in precision medicine by significantly improving patient disease management, particularly in oncology. “As exciting as it sounds, the clinical implementation of theranostics radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine faces significant challenges. The practice of a fully integrated diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine specialty requires an in-depth knowledge in many different ...

New in-ear device promises to predict fainting, help understand dizziness and brain fog

Digital health startup STAT Health has designed a device to help people better understand why they’re experiencing symptoms like dizziness, fainting and brain fog. STAT Health on Tuesday announced its new in-ear wearable, the STAT, which measures blood flow to the head. When users stand up, the earpiece automatically tracks changes in their heart rate, blood pressure trend and blood flow, which are useful insights for patients who commonly experience dizziness and fainting spells as a result of illnesses like long Covid and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), among others. Users can track their metrics in an app on their cellphone and glean insights into how their lifestyle choices affect their symptoms. The STAT earpiece has also proven to predict fainting minutes before it happens, according to peer-reviewed findings published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology this year. STAT Health CEO Daniel Lee said the wearable is not ...

Dive Brief Pulsed field ablation (PFA) devices from Boston Scientific, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic are a threat to Abbott’s $1.9 billion electrophysiology business, according to analysts at Stifel. Abbott is taking a “wait-and-see” approach to PFA, advancing a later generation device in the belief that the first wave of products will have shortcomings that limit adoption, the report said. The analysts see “some logic” to Abbott’s position but expect the company to suffer share losses in the coming years. The pressure could ramp up quickly, with the analysts warning products that make up around 90% of Abbott’s electrophysiology sales could be affected by the switch to PFA by 2025. Dive Insight Abbott has a PFA device in development but it is years behind the front-runners, with first in-human use planned for this year. Based on that, the analysts estimate the device, named Volt, could win approval in the U.S. ...

Similar symptoms, biological abnormalities underlie long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome

Long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome are debilitating conditions with similar symptoms. Neither condition has diagnostic tests or treatments approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and each cost the United States billions of dollars each year in direct medical expenses and lost productivity. Doctors and researchers have wondered what are the underlying biological abnormalities that may cause symptoms, and whether these abnormalities are similar in the two illnesses. A review article authored by senior investigators at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and the Mailman School of Public Health and Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, addresses these questions. In it, the authors review 559 scientific publications. The authors compared the symptoms of both conditions, noting their great similarity, and then showed that very similar underlying biological abnormalities have been found in both conditions, abnormalities involving the brain, immune system, heart, lungs, ...

FDA hits iRhythm with warning letter over problems at heart monitor facility

Dive Brief The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning letter to iRhythm Technologies after inspectors found fault with practices at a facility that makes its heart monitors. According to iRhythm, the FDA has alleged “nonconformities to regulations for medical devices, including medical device reporting requirements, relating to the company’s Zio AT System and medical device quality system requirements.” iRhythm can continue to manufacture and sell its products and does not expect the warning letter to materially affect its financial results. However, the situation comes at a time when iRhythm is working to continue the recent recovery of sales of Zio AT. Dive Insight FDA inspectors concluded their assessment of iRhythm’s facility in Cypress, Calif. in August 2022. The FDA visit led to a Form 483 later that month. iRhythm took steps to address the concerns raised in the 483 but its actions failed to stop the FDA ...

MedTech Europe sets out position on cybersecurity, making case for reliance on MDR

Dive Brief MedTech Europe has set out its vision for cybersecurity in the medical technology ecosystem in a paper that argues for industry-specific legislation. The trade group outlines three areas of discussion, starting with its belief that medtech security should be regulated under sectoral legislation such as the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR). Other parts of the paper address MedTech Europe’s preferred approach for tackling ransomware and support for actions to improve digital literacy in general and cybersecurity skills in particular. Dive Insight More connected medical devices have increased the risk that hackers will access confidential data or gain the ability to modify technologies in ways that put patients at risk. As the risks increase, medical device manufacturers “continue to invest significant resources in guaranteeing state of the art cybersecurity for all their products and services,” the trade group wrote. Other groups including ...
