How Do We Cope When Two Parents Live with Dementia?
Photo credit Joe Hepburn
"My mom and dad both have dementia. I am all alone taking care of them since. I have no one to help me. I get sad and frustrated with them both. How do I deal with my feelings?" These are powerful words from one Caregiver Forum participant. It is a cry that is all too familiar for many family caregivers and one which will touch the hearts of most readers. Many of us feel alone when we are trying to care for our aging parents and there are no siblings to help, or our siblings won't help. When we have one parent who has this disease, it is hard. When we have two, it is o...

From Surgeries To Keeping Company: The Place Of Robots In Healthcare

If You ’ ve Seen One Robot – Wait, What?
BY KIM BELLARD
If You’ve Seen One Robot – Wait, What?
We think we know robots, from the old school Robbie the Robot to the beloved R2-D2/C-3PO to the acrobatic Boston Dynamics robots or the very human-like Westworld ones. But you have to love those scientists: they keep coming up with new versions, ones that shatter our preconceptions. Two, in particular, caught my attention, in part because both expect to have health care applications, and in part because of how they’re described.
Hint: the marketing people are going to have some work to do on the names.

We have overwhelmingly lost touch with the human aspect of medicine
The medical establishment has made wonderful strides in destigmatizing psychiatric disorders. However, we have helped to create a devastating stigmatization of emotional distress. Somehow, as it has become acceptable to suffer from a psychiatric illness, it has become increasingly unacceptable to suffer from emotional distress and the current medical practice has nurtured this change. WeRead more …We have overwhelmingly lost touch with the human aspect of medicine originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Rehab fails: What goes wrong in pain rehabilitation (1)
Well obviously I’m not going to cover everything that goes wrong – and certainly not in one post! But inspired by some conversations I’ve had recently, I thought I’d discuss some of the common #fails we do in rehabilitation. Things that might explain why people with pain are thought to be “unmotivated” or “noncompliant” – because if the rehab doesn’t ‘work’ of course it’s the person with pain who’s at fault, right? So for today, here goes.
Starting at the wrong intensity
One of the main things that happens when someone’s in pain...

" Other popular accounts likewise declare that " [t]he beliefs of Keynes and FDRproved successful at alleviating the Great Depression" and eventhat" Without John Maynard Keynes, FDR ’s New Deal may never have happened.

How Do We Know If COVID Is Over?
Is it the end of COVID? – we hear this very question more and more often these days. This topic has been analysed over and over in the past two years, I also wrote about it more than once. Here, at the beginning, we outlined possible scenarios on how the pandemic will develop. By now we can determine that we ended up somewhere between #2 and #3.
We also discussed how widespread vaccination is the way to go, and how it will contribute to getting back our lives.
The speculation on finally getting over it is not surprising. It is in line with recent reports, and the discussion about the pandemic entering the endem...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 7th 2022
This study estimates that prescreening with a 500 blood test could reduce by half both the cost and the time it takes to enroll patients in clinical trials that use PET scans. Screening with blood tests alone could be completed in less than six months and cut costs by tenfold or more, the study finds. Known as Precivity AD, the commercial version of the test is marketed by C2N Diagnostics. The current study shows that the blood test remains highly accurate, even when performed in different labs following different protocols, and in different cohorts across three continents.

Cellular Reprogramming in the Popular Press
One of the potential side effects of there now being a very sizable amount of funding devoted to realizing therapies based on in vivo partial reprogramming of cells is an increase in the quality of popular press articles about the treatment of aging as a medical condition. We can hope that journalists become a touch more careful and considered when it comes to a field in which billions in funding are now flowing towards research and development. The bar is of course quite low in the matter of journalism and the science of aging, but improvement is always welcome.
The latest exploration into longevity research is '...

From MDPI: " The Transition to Noncommunicable Disease: How to Reduce Its Unsustainable Global Burden by Increasing Cognitive Access to Health Self-Management "
https://www.mdpi.com/1396952:The Transition to Noncommunicable Disease: How to Reduce Its Unsustainable Global Burden by Increasing Cognitive Access to Health Self-ManagementAbstract: The global epidemic of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, is creating unsustainable burdens on health systems worldwide. NCDs are treatable but not curable. They are less amenable to top-down prevention and control than are the infectious diseases now in retreat. NCDs are mostly preventable, but only individuals themselves have the power to prevent and manage the diseases to which the enticements of ...
