About

By

We cover topics on human medical science, delivering news on recent medical studies from around the world. We cover all of the body’s main systems in an effort to educate and advance the field of medical science and science communication.

Our mission is to help researchers by highlighting new discoveries to build studies on and around. And provide those outside the health field with information on how the various systems in the human body work. However, the articles on this website should not be relied on to aid in care and treatment.

Medical Science Digest was founded in 2019 and is owned and operated by Patrick Hibbert. After graduating from the University of Central Florida with a B.S. in pre-medical biology he worked for SeaWorld, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Orange County Environmental Protection Division’s lab, and a UCF microbiology lab. 

Later he worked with ZME Science where he published scientific research articles. Liking the experience he wanted to share more of his understanding of this field by becoming a science writer and launching a website that would serve as a platform for his and other science journalist’s work.

Scientists Find That Social Distancing Reduces COVID-19’s Infection Rate by Approximately 1% per Day

By
  Social distancing, one of many interventions used to combat airborne communicable diseases. By Patrick James Hibbert  25 AUG 2020 Researchers predict social distancing will prevent a rapid, overwhelming epidemic according to modeling studies. Governments also used this type of intervention in prior pandemics. One being the 1918 influenza pandemic in which it had moderate success.  There is not much information about the health benefits of imposing statewide social distancing measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. Because of this, a team of researchers from the United States, South Africa, and the United Kingdom conducted a study on it. They wanted to know what the COVID-19 case growth rate was, before and after social distancing measures where enacted. And, what the public health impacts of government-mandated non-pharmacological interventions were after they started and before they ended. In response to the Spanish Flu pandemic, social distancing and masks were used.  Alb

How The Nervous System Controls The Immune System

By
ColiN00B/ Pixabay Scientists set out to identify the specific connections between the nervous system and the immune system's organs. By Patrick James Hibbert  2 Jan 2020 The autonomic nervous system is the involuntary part of the nervous system and is composed of sympathetic and parasympathetic regions. The sympathetic region controls the “fight or flight” mechanism and is activated when the body is stimulated.  Conversely, the parasympathetic region acts when the body is at rest and controls functions like digestion. And it’s nerve innervations are found in the parenchyma of all the classic immune organs. Those organs include lymph nodes, the tonsils, the thymus, the spleen, the appendix, bone marrow, gut-associated lymphatic tissue and it’s Peyer’s patch. The way the immune system is controlled by the nervous system is not well-understood by the scientific community. In response to this, researchers in Beijing, China set out to understand how neural signals control the immune sys

Multiple Resource Theory Explains Multi-Tasking Limits in Adolescents

By
Brains have resources for the execution of only a finite number of tasks at the same time.  Geralt/Pexels The brain's shared pool of resources are allocated across different tasks, modalities, and processes, spanning from sensory level processing to meaning level processing.  By Patrick James Hibbert  14 Jun 2020 Balance prevents falls, improves sports and mechanical skills, and promotes growth and development in adolescents. Maintaining balance and upright body position requires lots of cognitive resources. This fact is demonstrated in the inability of adolescents to multi-task cognitive tasks and keeping upright body posture. When adolescents perform tasks with their eyes closed their upper body sways, according to studies. This is an example of the Multiple Resource Theory . Here, cognitive and visual processing streams compete for common central resources. Evidence shows performing a cognitive task inhibits visual processing. And  researchers from Anqing Normal University ’
