About


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

  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 ma...

New Implantable Bluetooth Memory Chip Prototype

GarysLens/ Pixabay This prototype gives users the means of a new form of communication and data storage, controlled only by the mind. By Patrick James Hibbert  25 SEP 2020 In a recent study, researchers from Augmanity Nano, Faculty of Life Sciences, and Gonda Brain Center in Isreal developed a new, implantable, memory tag prototype that could be written to and read from by multiple people within close proximity to each other.  The device sticks onto the neck and integrates a processor, a memory chip (controller), and an RFID circuit. It analyzes EEG signals, has 4 KB of RAM, and transmits data to other controllers and computers, on to which, the sender's binary thoughts are displayed. Deemed potentially very useful, it could aid many people with “bad memories”, memory disorders, and injuries impairing their memories. Such as people with head trauma, infarcts, diseases, and even those experiencing the side effects of drugs.  This tag could also supplement the lack of acces...

The Connection Between Bones And Cardiovascular Disease

Bone mineral density correlates with cardiovascular disease in people of all ages. Taokinesis/Pexels   Bone mineral density is influenced by age, sex, body mass index, smoking, race, glucocorticoids, hyperlipidemia and diabetes all which in turn influence the onset of cardiovascular disease. By Patrick James Hibbert  4 May 2020 The CDC states that Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. It  affects the blood flow to the heart and if the blood flow decreases a heart attack can occur. Atherosclerosis is the cause of CAD and is a disease in which plaque builds up inside arteries.  Studies have found that hypercholesterolemia and the resulting deposition and oxidation of lipids in tissues result in atherosclerosis and are related to osteoporotic bone loss. Along these lines, atherosclerosis is related not only to lipids but also to bone biosynthetic factors. To investigate this further, researchers from a hospital and university in Taiwa...
