Cytomegalovirus Harmfully Alters Immune Cell Populations in the Aging Immune System
The aging of the immune system isn't just a matter of becoming vulnerable to commonplace infectious diseases, such as influenza. The immune system also removes senescent cells and cancerous cells, both of which present sizable risks to health in later life. Additionally, immune cells participate in normal tissue maintenance in a variety of ways. Further, the chronic inflammation characteristic of an aged immune system disrupts the normal function of many types of cell and tissue, contributing to a diverse range of age-related conditions. For most people, cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an apparently innocuous persistent he...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 6th 2021
In this study, they found these drugs can kill senescent cells from cultures of human fat tissue. The tissue was donated by individuals with obesity who were known to have metabolic troubles. Without treatment, the human fat tissues induced metabolic problems in immune-deficient mice. After treatment with dasatinib and quercetin, the harmful effects of the fat tissue were almost eliminated. Targeting p21Cip1 highly expressing cells in adipose tissue alleviates insulin resistance in obesity Insulin resistance is a pathological state often associated with obesity, representing a major risk factor for type 2...

Oral Bacteria and Age-Related Airway Inflammation
Researchers have in the past proposed links between oral bacteria and chronic inflammation, particularly in the heart and brain, proposing that bacterial toxins and bacteria themselves enter the bloodstream via damaged gums. This undoubtedly happens, but supporting data is mixed when it comes to the question of whether or not this has a meaningful effect size in comparison to other inflammatory mechanisms and contributions to age-related disease. Here, a different route for bacteria is proposed: passage into the airways and lungs, a possibly explanation as why gum disease and respiratory mortality are correlated in older p...

Wuhan spiny eel influenza virus
Influenza B viruses, unlike influenza A viruses, do not cause pandemics. There are many non-human animal reservoirs of influenza A viruses which provide gene segments that go towards making reassortant viruses that can infect humans. Influenza B viruses do not appear to have an animal reservoir other than humans – they have been isolated from […]

Physicians are human and grief is as much a part of the human experience as love
Since the first documented COVID death in the U.S. in February 2020, over 726,000 Americans have died. The number of deaths eclipses the death toll of any other American tragedy, whether war or the Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918, and health care providers have been involved with the care of many people who have died.Read more …Physicians are human and grief is as much a part of the human experience as love originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Trial By Error: BBC ’ s Problematic Coverage of New Long COVID Study
By David Tuller, DrPH Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, suggesting an equivalence between COVID-19 and influenza has been a consistent approach among those seeking to downplay the current situation. So it’s not surprising to see something similar happen with comparisons between Long COVID and the delayed recovery some people experience after an acute […]

Relative risk perception and public investment
 Motor vehicles are not quite in the top 10 causes of death in the U.S.The way the CDC categorizes causes of death, unintentional injuries are number 3, about 173,000 deaths per year, and motor vehicle-related injuries constitute about 1/3 of those. If you were to extract those 40,000+ motor vehicle deaths they would probably be at about #11. (This data is from 2019, and for 2020 Covid has undoubtedly bumped up cause number 9, " influenza and pneumonia, from 9 to 3 making unintentional injuries number 4, but we can hope this is temporary.) However, unlike the other leading causes of death, which disproportionatel...
