Use of Cooking Fuels that Produce Air Pollution Correlates with Increased Cancer Risk
This study explored the association between different cooking fuel types and the risk of cancer and all-cause mortality among seniors constructing Cox regression models. Data were obtained by linking waves of 6, 7, and 8 of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, which included a total of 7,269 participants who were 65 years old and over. Cooking fuels were categorized as either biomass, fossil, or clean fuels. And the effects of switching cooking fuels on death risk were also investigated using Cox regression models.
The results indicate that, compared with the users of clean fuels, individuals using bio...

Age-Related Dysfunction of Water Homeostasis
https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/06/age-related-dysfunction-of-water-homeostasis/
Dehydration can be an issue in older people. As in every complex system in the body, the mechanisms by which hydration is regulated become dysfunctional with advancing age. Researchers here look at the brain region responsible for regulating some of the response to dehydration, cataloging altered gene expression in search of the more important mechani...

Weekly Roundup – June 17, 2023
Welcome to our Healthcare IT Today Weekly Roundup. Each week, we’ll be providing a look back at the articles we posted and why they’re important to the healthcare IT community. We hope this gives you a chance to catch up on anything you may have missed during the week.
How Interoperability Saves Lives – and Builds Trust. For FQHCs such as Dallas-area HHM Health, maintaining trust is critical because many patients are new users of the healthcare system. The organization’s Geli Brown sat down with Colin Hung to explain interoperability’s role in building trust: When clinicians know more about a patient&...

Notes from the 2023 Age-Related Disease Therapeutics Summit
The former Longevity Therapeutics conference series was renamed to the Age-Related Disease Therapeutics Summit and held its fifth event recently in San Francisco. It was a smaller meeting than in past years, perhaps a result of the recent downturn in the global financial and investment environment. Few investors were present. Nonetheless, one can usually learn something interesting from the presenting biotech founders and executives. I took a few notes while I was there to present on progress at Repair Biotechnologies, and they follow in the order of the conference program.

Taurine Supplementation Slows Aging, Extends Life in Mice
Taurine levels drop with age, and correlate with health in aged humans. Researchers here show evidence for taurine supplementation to improve health and extend life span in mice. While it isn't mentioned in this paper, if one takes a look around the literature on this topic, taurine may act on the pace of aging by increasing levels of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione, and has been shown to diminish oxidative stress. You may recall that supplementation with glutathione precursors has been shown to improve health in both old mice and old humans. Glutathione itself is harder to deliver directly, hence the more indirect stra...

Senolytic Treatments as a Strategy to Improve Immune Function in Late Life
Senescent cells accumulate in tissues throughout the body with age. Cells become senescent constantly throughout life, largely by reaching the Hayflick limit on replication, but a small number due to potentially cancerous mutations, or other forms of damage and stress. Senescent cells are rapidly removed by the immune system in youth, keeping their numbers low, but the balance between creation and destruction is disrupted with aging. There is greater stress, but perhaps more importantly the immune system becomes less efficient, less able to clear senescent cells in a timely fashion. Since senescent cells actively secrete p...

Career Conversations: Q & A With Physiologist Elimelda Moige Ongeri
Credit: Courtesy of Dr. Elimelda Moige Ongeri.
A career path in science is rarely clear cut and linear, which Elimelda Moige Ongeri, Ph.D., can attest adds to its excitement. She went from working in animal reproductive biology to studying proteins involved in inflammation and tissue injury. Dr. Ongeri is also currently dean of the Hairston College of Health and Human Sciences and professor of physiology at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) in Greensboro. In this interview, she shares details of her career, including a change in research focus to human physiology; her goals for the f...

Better Health Care Tests, Faster
This article looks at some specific problems and solutions.
Speeding up Test Development
We’ve seen with COVID-19 how quickly a virus can evolve and how hard it is to design both tests and vaccinations that accommodate different variants. Virax Biolabs uses data from the World Health Organization and others to develop tests quickly. For instance, new viral variants tend to spread in the southern hemisphere before hitting the northern hemisphere in our Winter, so Virax can check existing data to prepare better tests for the North.
The company is developing a T-cell diagnostics and profiling platform called Virax Immu...

Bowhead Whales Exhibit Efficient DNA Repair
All large mammals must evolve ways to suppress cancer risk more effectively than their smaller relatives. More mass means more cells, and thus more chances for a cell to suffer the mutations that will lead to cancer. Elephants evolved additional copies of P53 and other tumor suppression genes, for example. Bowhead whales, on the other hand, appear to manage with more efficient DNA repair mechanisms. We can hope that some of these explorations may lead to ways to improve human resistance to cancer. Improved DNA repair in particular is an attractive goal, given that DNA damage is linked to aging in a number of ways, such as ...

Against Prioritizing Environmentalism Over Human Health
It is fair to say that the mainstream of environmentalism prioritizes conservation of the environment over human comfort and health. Environmental concerns are high on the list of objections raised against treating aging as a medical condition, because most people believe that this will lead to a larger population, and also believe that population increases cannot occur without degrading the environment. Both of those beliefs are false, the latter evidently so given the improvements in the environment created since the 1950s, over a period of considerable population growth. Models strongly suggest that the future is one in...

MA for Tomorrow: Moving Beyond the Status Quo to Advance Concrete Policy Changes for the Future of Medicare Advantage
BY CECI CONNOLLY AND MICHAEL BAGEL
Medicare Advantage (MA) has passed the tipping point, delivering coverage and care to more than half of the senior population in the US. The Congressional Budget Office projects more than 60 percent of people 65 years and older will be in the program by 2030. As enrollment soars and interest in value-based health care grows, it is imperative policymakers modernize the program that is expected to cost $7.5 trillion over the next decade.
Rather than taking the standard Washington posture of declaring victory or defending the status quo, our provider-aligned, nonprofit member pla...

Illumina: Where Was the Board?
Sunday brought news that Francis deSouza had resigned as CEO of Illumina. It at first might have seemed he had survived the boardroom challenge from activist investor Carl Icahn, losing only one ally - Board Chairman John Thompson. But that apparently effectively made him a lame duck, and he is now leaving immediately -- leaving no one at the helm of Illumina momenta rily but also eliminating any interference from deSouza with the installation of his successor. If you have access to STAT+,Matt Herper's commentary is very informative (I'd expect nothing less).Read more »
