The rising threat of lung cancer in Asian American female nonsmokers
“It’s adenocarcinoma,” said the voice on the other end of the phone. I couldn’t believe it. “Lung cancer? Me? How could that be? I’ve never smoked!” Shock, disbelief, and disappointment filled all the nooks and crannies of my mind and heart. In January 2021, I went to my PCP after developing a nagging dry cough Read more… The rising threat of lung cancer in Asian American female nonsmokers originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Evidence-based hope in diabetes
In this study, the people with type 2 diabetes who didn’t have any of those extra risk factors, they’re likely to have had their first heart attack was less than people who didn’t have diabetes.So again, it’s only one study. I don’t want to overstate it, but the purpose of this is to say this is what’s possible. With good care, decent care, odds are pretty good, you can do well. And again, live a long and healthy life. So, evidence-based hope. Guys, what do you think?  Scott K. Johnson: I mean, that looks wonderfu...

Investigating Bacterial Motion for New Treatment Strategies
Researchers at Florida State University have developed a 3D model that examines how the bacterium Helicobacter pylori moves through viscous fluids. H. pylori can cause gastrointestinal ulcers and even cancer, moving through the intestinal mucus layer...

More Evidence That Opioid Policymakers Keep Aiming at the Wrong Target
Jeffrey A. SingerA new study released earlier this year adds more evidence to the mountains of evidence that policymakers trying to solve the overdose crisis have been aiming at the wrong target.Researchers from the Dartmouth University School of Medicine recently published in theAnnals of Surgery the results of a  prospective clinical trial of 221 opioid naïve surgical patients prescribed opioids at discharge and followed for one year after surgery. Eighty‐​eight percent of the patients had cancer‐​related operations. Their surgeons prescribed opioids for pain control when they discharged them home from the hosp...

Clinical Examination of Cardiovascular System For Medical Students
Discussion on blood pressure is not included here as a separate topic is dedicated to it. Though the most commonly examined pulse is the radial, to check some of the characteristics, a more proximal pulse like the brachial or carotid needs to be examined. Following parameters of the pulse are routinely documented: 1. The rate: Normal rate in adult is 60-100 per minute. It is higher in children. Younger the child, higher the pulse rate. Rhythm: Regular and irregular rhythms are possible. Mild variation with respiration is called respiratory sinus arrhythmia, with higher rate in inspiration. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia may...

Heartwarming stories of cancer patients teaching us about life and the human spirit
I felt uneasy starting my oncology and leukemia rotations. These patients were so sick, and many of them had incurable cancer, often just weeks or days away from death. I wondered how I could help them, what we could do if we couldn’t treat their cancer. I’m grateful that these patients taught me not just Read more… Heartwarming stories of cancer patients teaching us about life and the human spirit originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 29th 2023
In this study, we used a Drosophila model to understand the role of the dec2P384R mutation on animal health and elucidate the mechanisms driving these physiological changes. We found that the expression of the mammalian dec2P384R transgene in fly sleep neurons was sufficient to mimic the short sleep phenotype observed in mammals. Remarkably, dec2P384Rmutants lived significantly longer with improved health despite sleeping less. In particular, dec2P384R mutants were more stress resistant and displayed improved mitochondrial fitness in flight muscles. Differential gene expression analyses went on to reveal several altered tr...

4 Life-Changing Truths About the Universe
What fascinates you most about the universe? The sun, moon, or the fantastic milky way. Well, the quantum of the universe is beyond that. If I start telling you the magic of the universe, I might be unable to do it in the best possible way. But again, I have invested more than 30 years of my life in realizing countless truths happening in the universe every next minute. One thing I know for sure is that everything in the universe is either connected with science or spirituality. I love to learn about the interaction of science and spirituality, especially with quantum physics. And my passion for quantum physics helped me t...

Cellular Senescence in Skin as an Early Sign of Aging
We reported that skin inherently possesses mechanisms to remove senescent cells. In the epidermis, this is achieved by the binding of JAG1, a Notch ligand expressed on adjacent non-senescent keratinocytes, to Notch1 receptors expressed by senescent keratinocytes, which promotes the exclusion of senescent cells from the basal layer by inducing differentiation. Meanwhile, in the dermis, senescent cells are phagocytosed by macrophages through recognition by the phosphatidyl serine (PS) receptor STAB1. However, since ageing is associated with the accumulation of senescent cells in skin tissue, it is hypothesized that this accu...

Doubt, Deferral, and Destiny
Five years ago, if you told me that I would be an entering MD/PhD student, I’d be elated, but if you had told me two years ago — I’d laugh and call you a liar. It’s strange that along my journey to medical school and physician-scientist training, there was such a low point, but one that many medical students can relate to: impostor syndrome during the application cycle. I had been working toward this point throughout college, and before I started writing my applications, I felt reasonably confident in my goal to become a physician-scientist studying cancer biology. Yet the writing process brought my doubts, ...
