WHAT IS “ANOSMIA”
By Darrell Pruitt DDS and David E. Marcinko MBBS, MBA
Anosmia, also known as smell blindness, is the loss of the ability to detect one or more smells. Anosmia may be temporary or permanent. It differs from Hyposmia which is a decreased sensitivity to some or all smells.
According to Wikipedia, Anosmia can be due to a number of factors, including an inflammation of the nasal mucosa, blockage of nasal passages or a destruction of one temporal lobe. Inflammation is due to chronic mucosa changes in the lining of the paranasal sinus and in the middle and superior turbinates. When anosmia is caused by inflammatory changes in the nasal passageways, it is treated simply by reducing inflammation. It can be caused by chronic meningitis and neurosyphilis that would increase intracranial pressure over a long period of time, and in some cases by ciliopathy, including ciliopathy due to primary ciliary dyskinesia. The term derives from the New Latin anosmia, based on Ancient Greek ἀν- (an-) + ὀσμή (osmḗ, “smell”; another related term, hyperosmia, refers to an increased ability to smell). Some people may be anosmic for one particular odor, a condition known as “specific anosmia”. The absence of the sense of smell from birth is known as congenital anosmia.
Ageusia is the loss of taste functions of the tongue, particularly the inability to detect sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and umami. It is sometimes confused with anosmia – a loss of the sense of smell. Because the tongue can only indicate texture and differentiate between sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami, most of what is perceived as the sense of taste is actually derived from smell. True Ageusia is relatively rare compared to Hypogeusia – a partial loss of taste – and Dysgeusia – a distortion or alteration of taste.
ASSESSMENT:
If you should suddenly lose your sense of smell (anosmia), you might want to get tested for COVID-19 – even without the presence of other symptoms.
“A majority of COVID-19 patients experience some level of anosmia, most often temporary. Analyses of electronic health records indicate that COVID-19 patients are 27 times more likely to have smell loss but are only around 2.2 to 2.6 times more likely to have fever, cough or respiratory difficulty, compared to patients without COVID-19.”
See: “How COVID-19 Causes Loss of Smell – Olfactory support cells, not neurons, are vulnerable to novel coronavirus infection.” By Kevin Jiang for Harvard Medical School, July 24, 2020.

Only a Matter of Time for Greedy Physicians?

Balance Billing [Surprise] is a medical invoice from an out-of-network provider for the difference between the total cost of services being charged and the amount the insurance pays.
And, we warned about it more than a decade ago.
ESSAY: https://medicalexecutivepost.com/2008/09/17/balance-billing-conundrum/
Now, it has become a huge with doctors who are not subject to the rates or terms of providers in-network.
But, we may be slowing making progress against this nefarious practice.
Unfortunately, the Corona Pandemic may have simultaneously exposed a new wrinkle in the conundrum.

COVID-19 Financial Relief Available to Hospitals and Physicians
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
The COVID-19 global pandemic has brought a time of grave uncertainty for U.S. healthcare and the greater economy.
While the focus of healthcare providers is, appropriately, on the access and delivery of care to those impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, there are many providers who will require financial resources to persevere during a time when all sectors of the U.S economy are being significantly impacted.
The federal government has announced a myriad of programs in the form of grants and loans to reimburse hospitals and physicians for some expenses and loss of revenue. (Read more…)

How Will COVID-19 Change Healthcare Delivery?
By Health Capital Consultants, LLC
Spurred by how unprepared the American healthcare system was for a pandemic, the current COVID-19 emergency may present the conditions necessary to commence a healthcare delivery model paradigm shift.
In response to the public health emergency, the federal government, which has a record of reducing regulatory “burdens” under the Trump Administration, has taken aggressive actions to create regulatory flexibilities for healthcare providers and suppliers.
At least some of the various actions taken to reduce provider burden as they treat COVID-19 patients are likely to stay intact following the end of this pandemic, potentially revising the fundamental tenets of U.S. healthcare delivery. (Read more…)

WHAT IS “CONTACT TRACING” IN PUBLIC HEALTH?
Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
When a patient tests positive, you make a list of everyone they came in close contact with. Then, you find those people and make sure they self-isolate before infecting others.
That sounds straightforward, but contact tracing a new patient typically takes three days, which is “an insurmountable hurdle in the U.S., with its low numbers of public health workers and tens of thousands of new cases every day.”
ELSEWHERE: South Korea used high-tech contact tracing to tame its outbreak. The government compiled GPS data, credit card swipes, and other info into a public log showing where COVID-19 patients had traveled.
Some countries (including the U.S.) are trying other methods, including looking at smart-phone location data and developing Bluetooth systems that provide warnings if you’ve crossed paths with an infected person.
PROBLEMS: Despite its widespread use in places like Singapore, contact tracing has raised concerns about privacy and governments following citizens’ whereabouts.

If you wear gloves because of Covid-19, and if you don’t take them off properly, you just get everything that was all over the gloves, all over yourself and everything else. As a surgeon for almost two decades, I can tell you that taking gloves off correctly isn’t a trivial thing.
***
***
HOW TO REMOVE: Briefly, you want to pinch one glove near the wrist and pull it over your hand so it ends up inside out. Then hold that in your gloved hand and carefully slip the fingers of your bare hand into the top of the other glove, let it turn inside out and cover the balled-up other glove.
***
CDC: Check out this step-by-step CDC infographic. And, if you’re not disposing of them properly, you’re just potentially contaminating more surfaces and putting yourself at a much higher risk. Finally, don’t skip hand washing after you take them off, even if you’ve removed them right.

Sensitivity and specificity are statistical measures of the performance of a binary classification test, also known in statistics as a classification function, that are widely used in medicine.

NOTE: The terms “positive” and “negative” don’t refer to the value of the condition of interest, but to its presence or absence; the condition itself could be a disease, so that “positive” might mean “diseased”, while “negative” might mean “healthy”.

Human Health Behavior and COVID-19 Thoughts
Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
Here are 3 theories and 1 “rule” for the healthcare industrial complex that may help explain how the sector may not work correctly; from trauma, to epidemiology and to Corona; all the time.
1 – Berkson’s Paradox: Strong correlations can fall apart when combined with a larger population.
For example, among motorcycle crash victims wearing helmets are more likely to be seriously injured than those not wearing helmets. But, that’s because most crash victims saved by helmets did not need to become hospital patients, and those without helmets are more likely to die before becoming a hospital patient.
2 – Group Attribution Error: Incorrectly assuming that the views of a group member, like a physician, reflect those of the whole group in a different discipline.
3 – Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon: Noticing an idea or word every where you look as soon as it’s brought to your attention in a way that makes you overestimate its prevalence.
***
LINK:
The 90-9-1 Rule: In social media networks, 90% of users just read content, 9% of users contribute a little content, and 1% of users contribute almost all the content.
QUERY: Does Social Media really give a false impression of what ideas are popular or “average.”
THINK: Corona Virus?

Understanding the 2020 Corona Virus Economic Crisis

Dear Dr. David E. Marcinko,
Thank you for your interest in the Merk Perspective.
Merk Senior Economic Adviser and former St. Louis Fed President William Poole shares his thoughts on how to assess the economic impact of the Corona virus, pointing out in what ways it is different from past crises.
There are several aspects of the crisis that deserve separate attention. Many will seem obvious but nonetheless need to be made explicit to yield a thorough analysis.

A Generic Obscure Measure
By Dr. David E. Marcinko MBA
http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
The quality-adjusted life year or quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) is a generic measure of disease burden, including both the quality and the quantity of life lived.
It is used in economic evaluation to assess the value for money of medical interventions. One QALY equates to one year in perfect health. If an individual’s health is below this maximum, QALYs are accrued at a rate of less than 1 per year.

ASSESSMENT: To be dead is associated with 0 QALYs. QALYs can be used to inform personal decisions, to evaluate programs, and to set priorities for future programs

What About “Rent-Seeking” in Banking and Financial Services?
By Dr. David E. Marcinko, MBA
Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org
Rent-Seeking is a public choice, and economics, theory that involves methods to increase one’s share of existing wealth without creating new wealth [no added value].
Rent-Seeking results in reduced economic efficiency through misallocation of resources, reduced wealth-creation, lost government revenue, heightened income inequality, and potential national decline.

A Physician Survery
By AMA
DEFINITION: Prior authorization is a utilization management process used by some health insurance companies in the United States to determine if they will cover a prescribed procedure, service, or medication. The process is intended to act as a safety and cost-saving measure although it has received criticism from physicians for being costly and time-consuming.
