This past year, Cactus team worked closely with the Mount Sinai Health System to develop Lab100, a new type of medical environment that focuses on the different ways in which developing technologies can improve how we understand and experience medical attention and healthcare. Lab100 equips scientists with longitudinal multi-scale health data and a testbed environment to develop, validate and deploy new products and services. By closing the feedback loop between discovery science and care delivery, Lab100 creates a virtuous cycle of innovation that radically accelerates the pace at which promising ideas become clinical practice. - David Stark, MD, Assistant Professor, Health System Design and Global Health, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Medical Director, Institute for Next Generation Health Care Learn more: http://www.core77.com/posts/77952/A-Clinic-and-Research-Lab-Designed-to-Make-the-Patient-Experience-Pleasant-and-Comprehensible International Business Times – June 1 Mount Sinai And RenalytixAI Launch Groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence Solution For Improved Kidney Disease Management and Patient Care Mount Sinai Health System and RenalytixAI, Plc today have entered into an exclusive multi-year license and collaboration to commercialize artificial intelligence solutions to improve kidney disease detection, management and treatment for patients with diabetes and other at-risk, large-scale patient populations. “Our ability to apply the power of artificial intelligence against such a deep repository of clinical data in combination with prognostic biomarkers has the potential to change the game for all of our patients with diabetes and other populations at risk for kidney disease,” said Barbara Murphy, MD, dean for clinical integration and population health management and chair for the department of internal medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and chief executive officer of RenalytixAI. The accomplished innovators and rich data resources of Mount Sinai combined with the expertise and vision of our colleagues at RenalytixAI are evolving the development of cutting-edge renal prognostics for the benefit of patients and healthcare globally,” said Erik Lium, PhD, senior vice president at Mount Sinai Innovation Partners. - Barbara Murphy, MD, Dean, Clinical Integration and Population Health Management, Chair, Department of Internal Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai - Erik Lium, PhD, Senior Vice President, Mount Sinai Innovation Partners Learn more: http://markets.financialcontent.com/ibtimes/news/read/36400078 Additional coverage: Star Tribune http://markets.financialcontent.com/startribune/news/read/36400078/Mount_Sinai_and_RenalytixAI_Launch_Groundbreaking_Artificial_Intelligence_Solution_For_Improved_Kidney_Disease_Management_and_Patient_Care Pittsburgh Post-Gazette http://markets.post-gazette.com/postgazette/news/read/36400078 The Buffalo News http://markets.buffalonews.com/buffnews/news/read/36400078/Mount_Sinai_and_RenalytixAI_Launch_Groundbreaking_Artificial_Intelligence_Solution_For_Improved_Kidney_Disease_Management_and_Patient_Care Street Insider http://markets.financialcontent.com/streetinsider/news/read/36400078 Channel 8 Eyewitness News http://www.klkntv.com/story/38324263/mount-sinai-and-renalytixai-launch-groundbreaking-artificial-intelligence-solution-for-improved-kidney-disease-management-and-patient-care Politico New York – June 1 Coked Up — Amanda Eisenberg Reprogrammed gene expression in the brain rewards circuit from cocaine use can provide clues for a new course of treatment, according to researchers at Mount Sinai. - Eric Nestler, MD, PhD, Dean, Academic and Scientific Affairs, Director, Friedman Brain Institute, Professor, Neuroscience, Pharmacological Sciences, Psychiatry, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Learn more: https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/newsletters/politico-new-york-health-care/2018/06/01/senate-grinds-to-halt-070303 Additional coverage: Medi Magazine https://www.medimagazine.it/luso-di-cocaina-altera-lespressione-genica-nel-circuito-di-ricompensa-del-cervello/ Neuroscience News https://neurosciencenews.com/cocaine-genetics-reward-9201/ Medical Health News http://www.medicalhealthnews.net/cocaine-use-alters-gene-expression-in-brain-reward-circuits News Medical & Life Sciences https://www.news-medical.net/news/20180531/Study-highlights-complexity-of-the-braine28099s-molecular-response-to-cocaine-use.aspx Medicina TV https://www.medicinatv.com/noticias/investigadores-descubren-como-la-cocaina-afecta-a-la-expresion-genetica-en-el-cerebro MedPage Today – May 31 Baby Teeth May Predict Autism — Judy George Zinc and copper metabolism cycles in the layers of baby teeth may be able to predict which children will develop autism spectrum disorder, a longitudinal analysis suggests. This is the first study to generate a 90 percent accurate fetal and early childhood biomarker of autism by tracking metabolic pathways over time and could lead to new diagnostic tools, reported Paul Curtin, PhD, assistant professor in the department of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and colleagues in Science Advances. The study also represents a new direction in autism biomarker research, he added. While many studies have assessed exposure levels, this analysis examined cycles to see how metabolism might be disrupted. "With this research, we are shifting the focus to looking at metabolic cycles to understand how children are processing nutrients, as opposed to just looking at their exposure to toxicants." - Paul Curtin, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Environmental Medicine and Public Health, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Learn more: https://www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/autism/73203 Additional coverage: Bioscience Technology https://www.biosciencetechnology.com/news/2018/05/clues-autism-found-baby-teeth Medicine Net https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=212669 R&D Magazine – May 23 Robotically Controlled Digital Microscope Provides New Visualization System In Operating Room The Department of Neurosurgery at the Mount Sinai Health System has become one of the first hospitals in the U.S. to use Modus V, a hands-free, robotically controlled digital microscope that provides advanced visualization in the operating room. The system comprises a robotic arm featuring a high-definition camera that projects digital images of neuroanatomy on large monitors. It provides an alternative to the traditional operating microscope featuring an ocular or eyepiece that is commonly used by neurosurgeons to view magnified images of the brain. “This technology sets the stage for the next generation of digital image-based neurosurgery,” said Constantinos Hadjipanayis, MD, PhD, site chair of neurosurgery at Mount Sinai Union Square and director of neurosurgical oncology for the Mount Sinai Health System. Joshua Bederson, MD, professor and system chair of the department of neurosurgery at the Mount Sinai Health System and clinical director of the neurosurgery simulation said, “As critical information streams into multiple viewpoints in the operating room, much like in the cockpit of an aircraft, the surgeon’s goal is to utilize that information and move beyond critical structures, preserve neurologic function, and safely perform the procedure.” - Constantinos Hadjipanayis, MD, PhD, Site Chair, Neurosurgery, Mount Sinai Beth Israel, Professor, Neurosurgery, Oncological Sciences, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai - Joshua Bederson, MD, Professor, System Chair, Department of Neurosurgery, Mount Sinai Health System, Clinical Director, Neurosurgery Simulation Core Learn more: https://www.rdmag.com/news/2018/05/robotically-controlled-digital-microscope-provides-new-visualization-system-operating-room Additional coverage: News Medical & Life Sciences https://www.news-medical.net/news/20180601/Novel-microscope-technology-offers-images-of-the-brain-with-4K-resolution-and-3D-visualization.aspx Independent Recorder https://www.independentrecorder.com/brain-surgeons-obtain-a-superior-watch-from-augmented-reality-107421.html The Daily Beast – May 31 Why Isn’t There A Lyme Disease Vaccine? — Ashley Ross Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. The disease is known to be difficult to diagnose, as many early symptoms are vague, like headaches and fatigue. In its earliest stages, Lyme can be combated with antibiotics—but that’s if it’s recognized early. The longer it takes to treat Lyme, the more likely it is for it to become a chronic disease. Which makes it even more odd that a vaccine for Lyme disease doesn’t exist, particularly because cases are spiking. Brian A. Kidd, PhD, assistant professor of genetics and genomic sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai said that Lyme researchers are working on genotyping different strains of bacteria to move toward more personalized diagnoses and treatment. “I think it’s important for people who are suffering with or living with the fear of Lyme disease to really have some faith and know that the tide is really changing,” said Dr.
