Tired? 4 simple ways to boost energy
When I’m dragging and feeling tired during the occasional low-energy day, my go-to elixir is an extra cup (or two or three) of black French press coffee. It gives my body and brain a needed jolt, but it may not help where I need it the most: my cells. The cellular basis of being tired What we call “energy” is actually a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), produced by tiny cellular structures called mitochondria. ATP’s job is to store energy and then deliver that energy to cells in other parts of the body. However, as you grow older, your body has fewer mitochondria. “If you feel you don’t have enough ...

Healthy lifestyle can prevent diabetes (and even reverse it)
The rate of type 2 diabetes is increasing around the world. Type 2 diabetes is a major cause of vision loss and blindness, kidney failure requiring dialysis, heart attacks, strokes, amputations, infections and even early death. Over 80% of people with prediabetes (that is, high blood sugars with the high risk for developing full-blown diabetes) don’t know it. Heck, one in four people who have full-blown diabetes don’t know they have it! Research suggests that a healthy lifestyle can prevent diabetes from occurring in the first place and even reverse its progress. Can a healthy diet and lifestyle prevent diabetes? The D...

MRI Uncovers Missing Contact Lens Found 28 Years Later in Patient ’s Upper Eyelid
In Scotland, a contact lens that had gone missing for nearlythree decades was finally located when the owner of the lens underwent a MRI for upper eyelid swelling and ptosis.The MRI had indicated a cyst with proteinaceous content. When surgeons made an excision of the cyst, a rigid gas permeable (RGO) lens was discovered, deep in the upper eyelid soft tissue.“The features on the MRI were in keeping with a cyst with proteinaceous content. There were no radiological features of a foreign body seen within the cyst,” wrotethe patient ’s ophthalmologists in a report published in BMJ Case Reports.The disappearance of the...

Didier Coeurnelle on Advocacy and the Transition Years for Rejuvenation Therapies
The Life Extension Advocacy Foundation (LEAF) volunteers recently interviewed Didier Coeurnelle of the Healthy Life Extension Society (HEALES), a long-standing advocate on the European side of our community who has promoted research and development of therapies to treat aging for many years now. Insofar as the treatment of aging goes, we are living through the early stages of an enormously important transition, a tipping point in the progress of medicine. It will be of far greater impact than the advent of antibiotics. The development of rejuvenation therapies, treatments that can reverse or repair or bypass the kno...

Cats & Dogs: Can We Find Unity on Health Care IT Change?
By MATTHEW HOLT Today we have a humming economy and insane politics. In early 2009 we were in economic meltdown and were about one week into the sanest, soberist Administration and even Congress over many recent decades. In February 2009 They passed a stimulus bill that had a huge impact on the health IT market (and still does). At that time there was much debate on THCB about what the future of health IT policy should look like and how the stimulus “Meaningful Use” money should be spent. My January 2009 summary of that whole debate introduced the notion of “Cats and Dogs in health IT”. They’...

As I ’ve always suspected, Health Care = Communism + Frappuccinos
By MATTHEW HOLT Happy 15th birthday THCB! Yes, 15 years ago today this little blog opened for business and changed my life (and at least impacted a few others). Later this week we are going to celebrate and tell you a bit more about what the next 15 years (really?) of THCB might look like. But for now, I’m rerunning a few of my favorite pieces from the mid-2000s, the golden age of blogging. Today I present “Health Care = Communism + Frappuccinos”, one of my favorites about the relationship between government and private sector originally published here on Jan7, 2005. And like the Medicare one from last we...

Let ' s Stop Claiming That Palliative Care Improves Survival
by Drew RosielleHospice and palliative care community, I ' m calling for a moratorium on all blanket, unqualified claims that hospice and palliative care improve survival.Let ' s just stop doing this.There has never been any actual evidence that palliative care (PC) interventions improve survival in patients, but since thelandmark Temel NEJM 2010 RCT of early outpatient palliative care for lung cancer patients showed a clinically and statistically significant improvement in longevity in the PC arm, I have heard and all read all sorts of statements by palliative people and all sorts of others (hospital executives, poli...

The Unknown Part of Anthony Bourdain
“Last time I saw all this, I think it’s fair to say, I was at a turning point in my life,” Anthony Bourdain says before embarking into the Borneo jungle. He was not afraid to discuss his long battle with substance use, an issue that millions of Americans struggle with. In fact, recent data shows that annual deaths from opioid misuse have surpassed deaths by car accidents, guns, or breast cancer, highlighting an astoundingly dramatic increase in nationwide substance use disorders. 1, 2 “I have been hardened by the last 10 years. I don’t know what that says about me… but, there it is.” A crooked and nostalg...

Should the Work Product of " Non-Explainable " Medical Algorithms Be Ignored
I have blogged previously about the use of algorithms in healthcare which will be revolutionary in terms of diagnosing patients and even predicting which diseases they may develop in the future (see, for example:Eric Schmidt Discusses the Potential Value of Predictive Analytics in the ER; An Algorithm Using Medical Record Data Predicts Risk for Parkinson's Disease). A recent article discussed how radical this change will be (see: How Health Care Changes When Algorithms Start Making Diagnoses). Needless to say, some politicians are already making foolish judgements about medical algorithms as quoted in...
