Future Treatment For Autoimmune Diseases
New digital health tech targeted to fight autoimmune diseases or their symptoms are diverse and creative. These often completely different illnesses, like type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis, indicate an immune system dysfunction. Immune cells and mechanisms target the body’s own cells and structures, deconstructing it bit by bit and inducing inflammation. An estimated 24-50 million people in the US alone are living with autoimmune conditions. It affects their day-to-day life, but scientists suggest people living with chronic conditions could also be more suscepti...

Treating Aging as a Medical Condition Should Long Have Been a Priority
Aging kills most people in the world, and near all people in the wealthier parts of the world. It doesn't just kill, but also produces decades of declining health and capabilities, increased pain and suffering. Addressing the causes of aging, uncovering the mechanisms of aging and treating them, should have been the top priority in medicine ever since the advent of modern antibiotics allowed for control over the majority of infectious disease. Decades in which meaningful progress could have taken place have been wasted, and work on the mechanisms of aging is still only a small field within the life sciences, a small indust...

Patience for Those Who Grieve
❝My son fricken tried to commit suicide, so I had to drive all the way over there to deal with it.A few months ago, I pulled up to the one remaining branch in my area that US Bank allowed to be open during the pandemic and tentatively approached the entrance. I had banking to do, but they had bizarrely limited hours and, of course, they were closed. So I entered the ATM area and began my bank transfers with hundreds of dollars tight to my chest, hoping nobody would come in and rob me blind while I was feeding the money into the ATM.As I was doing my banking in the comfort of their ATM fishbowl, a woman entered behind me....

In conclusion, in our prospective community-based study, aging-related biomarkers were associated with measures of subclinical atherosclerosis cross-sectionally and with all-cause mortality prospectively, supporting the concept that these biomarkers may reflect the aging process in community-dwelling adults.

Dad with Dementia Knew His Wife Died but Now Can ’t Remember
Photo credit Tim Doerfler Dear Carol: Mom died two years ago, and while my dad had already been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he seemed to accept her death because she had been in terrible pain from cancer. Recently, though, he’s started asking for her as if she’s still alive and it’s heartbreaking. When I remind him that she died, he grieves as if it’s new information. Later, he’ll ask for her again as though we never discussed it. It’s breaking my heart to see him keep repeating this new-to-him grief. I know that you’ve said before that people should not contradict someone with dementia. I get that under mo...

How Big Pharma Bought Big Media for  $6 Billion: The Unintended Consequences of Direct-to-Consumer Drug Advertising
Media, whether broadcast, streamed, or print, is a lifeline of information for most Americans. Updates on the pandemic, results of an election, knowing whether you are in the path of an oncoming hurricane or snowstorm—we are alerted by news reports and thereby dependent on the factual information they provide. Media informs, shapes opinions, keeps us out of harm’s way. Despite the public pummeling media has received over the past few years, media remains the means through which Americans view much of their world. What the media reports—or does not report—is therefore crucial to shaping opinion and behavior.  There...

In conclusion, a number of high-income countries, changes in health expectancies over time have not kept pace with the growth in life expectancy. That is, people are living longer but disability and poor health are occupying an increasing proportion of later life. Our findings suggest that countries still need to make significant progress to achieve the WHO's Decade of Healthy Ageing goal of healthier, longer lives for all.

Daughter Wants to Help Mom Give Dad Wonderful Last Father ’s Day
Photo credit Seth Hays Dear Carol: Father’s Day is coming up and my mom wants to make Dad’s day special because it’s probably his last one. My brother and I want this too, but how to make it work is where we disagree with Mom. Dad’s been in a nursing home because of several health problems, but terminal cancer is what will take him soon. The problem is that Mom’s physically frail herself and worse, her decision-making is shaky, so we feel that she’s being unrealistic. Dad’s in pain and he tires easily. He needs a wheelchair, and Mom’s apartment has steps. He’s also on oxygen. While we understand whe...

The Mainstream Media is Slowly Becoming Less Skeptical of Work to Extend the Healthy Human Life Span
One can't maintain dismissive skepticism forever in the face of scientific and medical development communities that are ever more engaged in the development of therapies to address the mechanisms of aging. To pick one example, senolytic treatments that clear senescent cells from aged tissues are producing consistently amazing data in mice: rejuvenation, extension of healthy life, reversal of measures of many specific age-related diseases. We'll soon know how well the more viable senolytics perform in human trials, as the preliminary data from the use of dasatinib and quercetin shows that it does selectively destroy senesce...

Off Our Chests: No Secrets Left Behind
By CHADI NABHAN She was a successful corporate lawyer turned professional volunteer and a housewife. He was a charismatic, successful, and world-renowned researcher in gastrointestinal oncology. He was jealous of all breast cancer research funding and had declared that disease his nemesis. They were married; life was becoming a routine, and borderline predictable. Both appeared to have lost some appreciation of each other and their sacrifices. Then, she saw a lump, and was diagnosed with breast cancer. Not any breast cancer, but triple negative breast cancer. The kind that is aggressive and potentially lethal. ...

Financial Stress In Early Adulthood Is Related To Physical Pain Decades Later
By Emily Reynolds Pain is not a purely biological phenomenon: discrimination, anxiety around work, and general mental strain have all been shown to contribute to the experience of chronic pain. Many researchers therefore take a biopsychosocial approach, exploring the multifarious factors that impact on and are impacted by pain. A new study in Stress & Health explores the long term consequences of social factors on pain. The team, from the universities of Georgia and South California, Los Angeles, specifically focus on families involved in the 1980s “farm crisis” in the US Midwest, a period where many lost th...
