The Relationship Between Telomere Length and Replicative Senescence is Quite Different in Blind Mole Rats
In this study, we examined the average telomere length and telomerase activity, as well as the formation of telomere associated foci (TAFs) and the mRNA expression levels of the shelterin components in cultured primary cells of Spalax, a long-lived, hypoxia-tolerant, and cancer-resistant blind mole-rat species. We showed that with cell passages, Spalax fibroblasts demonstrated significant shortening in telomere length, similar to rat cells, and in line with the processes observed earlier in tissues. We also demonstrated that the average telomere length in Spalax fibroblasts was significantly higher than the average ...

I ' m thinking about moving this blog...
 ...to another platform. Hi, it ' s been a while. I haven ' t written anything this year. My last post was December 31, 2022.The main reason is that I ' ve had to deal with more loss and grief in my life. Someone close to me was diagnosed with cancer, endured months of radiation and chemotherapy, and died anyway.1 I ' ve also had some deflating garbage to wade through at work. My enthusiasm for doing anything has been rather low.Besides all that, Blogger is aterrible platform for blogging. The interface changed a while a back and ever since then, composing in the little box has been unpleasant. It takes forever t...

A glimpse into the fragile balance of life and death in the ICU
It was a calm and quiet night in the ICU during my rotation when suddenly, the piercing sound of a code blue alarm filled the air. An elderly female patient, 66 years old, had come in earlier with lung clots due to ovarian cancer. She was on the other side of the hospital, and as Read more… A glimpse into the fragile balance of life and death in the ICU originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Athletes Exhibit Half the Incidence of Hypertension in the General Population
Cardiovascular aging is greatly influenced by exercise and physical fitness, to the point at which one can point to physically active hunter-gatherer populations that exhibit very few of the common cardiovascular issues present in wealthier first world populations. Researchers here report on a study of cardiovascular aging in competitive athletic individuals, noting that they exhibit less than half of the risk of hypertension observed in the general population. This is one of many examples of the way in which athletes tend to be healthier than the average. Master athlete is a term applied to individuals typically ...

Nursing the Nation and the World
Nurses are everywhere. They are legion. The ubiquitous nurse is present in the care of children, the elderly, the disabled, and the dying. Nurses don ' t shy away from responsibility — they embrace it. Nurses run towards the metaphorical fire. Just as firefighters rush into burning buildings and police officers run towards the active shooter, nurses don their gloves and deal with the sputum, the blood, the pus, the emesis, the feces, and the urine — body fluids be damned, th ere ' s work to do and nurses do it. The Ubiquitous NurseWhere would the country be without nurses? Without nurses, the healthcare system wou...

Another day to think, to pause, to ponder.
Panorama of Sycamore Park and the memorial to Karim A bit over 10 years ago I wrote a blog post that I repost all the time. Entitled "A day to think, to pause, to ponder" it was posted on my dad ' s birthday and was about the pain of him dying, by suicide, when I was in college. It was meant as a sad, melancholy post but also one about the importance of compassion and how " we can all do a little bit to improve how we treat other. " When I reposted this one time a few years ago, someone asked me if I had ever met the " Compassion Guy " who frequented downtown Davis and who had a life ' s mission of getting people to t...

Unwavering faith: a woman ’ s journey through cancer and beyond
Her back was mottled, and she could barely sit up. She was weak from her invasive cancer. I visited her on Easter Sunday. Perhaps it was God’s will that I didn’t have an elaborate Easter dinner with ham, rolls, pies, and house decor filled with decorative bunnies.

Preventing Genetic Testing Fraud: 5 Actions for Health Plans
The following is a guest article by Erin Rutzler, Vice President of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse at Cotiviti In Delaware, more than 250 Medicare patients underwent unnecessary genetic testing based on telehealth consultations that often lasted less than two minutes—costing Medicare thousands of dollars per patient. Meanwhile, an emerging scheme for fraudulent and unnecessary cardiovascular and cancer genetic testing allegedly resulted in $174 million in false and fraudulent Medicare claims. These are just two examples of what the Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership describes as a surge in fraud, waste and abuse associated...
