Attracting birds to your garden
Sciencebase reader Michelle messaged to ask how she might attract more birds to her garden. There are plenty of things she can try to see more of our feathered friends on her patch. Some things will have an almost immediate effect others might take a little longer. The rewards are always worth the effort to see the variety and numbers of birds that can appear. I have an article about the birds you might see in an English country garden. Blue Tit What to do The most obvious thing to do is to ask what the birds need and then try to fulfill those needs: water, food, shelter/cover, somewhere to nest. So, you could put out a co...

Trial By Error: Why Did the NIH List an Award for Research on Cancer-Related Fatigue in Its List of Spending on ME/CFS?
By David Tuller, DrPH*April is crowdfunding month at UC Berkeley. If you like my work, consider making a tax-deductible donation to Berkeley’s School of Public Health to support the Trial By Error project:  https://crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/37217 Each year, the US National Institutes of Health publishes its “estimates of funding for various research, condition, and disease categories.” These estimates … Trial By Error: Why Did the NIH List an Award for Research on Cancer-Related Fatigue in Its List of Spending on ME/CFS?

A man in his 60s with acute chest pain and high voltage
Sent by Anonymous, written by Pendell MeyersA man in his 60s with history of CAD and 2 prior stents presented to the ED complaining of acute heavy substernal chest pain that began while eating breakfast about an hour ago, and had been persistent since then, despite EMS administering aspirin and nitroglycerin. There was associated diaphoresis, but no dyspnea, nausea, or vomiting. He reported having covid 2 weeks ago, but had seemingly fully recovered.Triage 1104:What do you think?The triage ECG was sent to me with no history (I did not have access to baseline ECGs), and I said that I thought this was just LVH causing the an...

Fast Facts about Medicare and Social Security
Romina Boccia and Dominik LettMedicare and Social Security are the two largest federal government programs that are also growing the fastest. They are fiscally unsustainable as currently structured. Medicare consists of four parts which provide inpatient care (Part A), outpatient care (Part B), prescription drug coverage (Part D), and subsidies for seniors to choose alternative health insurance providers through Medicare Advantage (Part C). Social Security consists of Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI). For the purposes of this fact sheet, Social Security will refer to OASI only. This fact...

A Narrow Review on Progress Towards Gene Therapies to Treat Aging
There are a great many genes that one might target with gene therapies to treat aspects of aging. The review here is quite narrow in scope, and only looks at a few approaches to gene therapy, and a few of the genes that might be targeted, those that have arguably received more attention in this context and are either the subjects of small clinical trials or might be entering trials in the near future. It even omits follistatin and myostatin in favor of telomerase, klotho, VEGF, and APOE. The latter is probably not all that interesting as a target, but it is very well researched as a result of the strong focus on funding Al...

Obesity is crippling the US, but there are solutions
By STEPHANIE TILENIUS Well over a third of Americans are obese — and the percentage keeps growing at a staggering rate. Over the last twenty years, obesity prevalence grew from 30% to 42% of the US population and rates of severe obesity nearly doubled. If we don’t make serious changes to our healthcare system, it’s scary to think where we’re headed in a few short years. The fact is, obesity is far from a cosmetic condition. It can be a devastating disease and was classified as such by the American Medical Association in 2013. Obesity is the leading risk factor for deadly diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart d...

Regorafenib Is Another Potentially Senotherapeutic Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor
Dasatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was one of the first drugs shown to selectively destroy senescent cells and thereby reverse aspects of aging, particularly when used in combination with the plant flavonoid quercetin. Strangely, little attention was given to the question of whether other tyrosine kinase inhibitors can target senescent cells until recently. A number of these compounds have in the past undergone clinical trials, or even been approved for use by regulators, for the treatment of conditions that researchers now suspect to be connected with cellular senescence to a significant degree. Nintedanib, for examp...

Long Term Exercise in Humans Reduces Markers of Cellular Senescence in Intestinal Tissue
In this study, researchers show that long-term exercise does reduce signs of cellular senescence in this tissue, though this appears to be a matter of reducing the proportion of the study population exhibiting high biomarker values rather than moving the average for everyone. Whether this outcome is similar in other tissues is an open question. While exercise is beneficial, one can't exercise one's way out from under degenerative aging, only somewhat slow its progression. Regular endurance exercise training is an effective intervention for the maintenance of metabolic health and the prevention of many age-associat...

Demographic Aging is Absent in Naked Mole Rats
Naked mole rats are an extreme example of compression of morbidity in mammals, in that individuals show few signs of aging until very late in life. Their biochemistry is peculiar in a number of ways when compared with other mammals. Their senescent cells do little harm to surrounding tissues; their protein synthesis is highly efficient; the are better at repairing DNA damage; they exhibit impressive cancer suppression mechanisms; and so forth. Will it be possible to build human enhancements or medical technologies from what is learned of naked mole rat metabolism? It is plausible that this is a very complicated extremely l...

A Possible Role for Cytomegalovirus in the Immune Surveillance of Senescent Cells in Old Age
Researchers here report on evidence for CD4+ T cells to be important in keeping senescent cell numbers under control in later life, an interaction mediated by the presence of cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV is a persistent viral infection that is near ubiquitous in the older population, and which coerces ever more of the immune system to become specialized to fight it, to the detriment of other functions. We know that the number of senescent cells in tissues grows with age, slowly, and that the immune system appears to become less efficient at removing these cells, leading to an imbalance between creation and destruction...

Immunotherapies Targeting Amyloid- β May Produce Brain Shrinkage
Immunotherapies offer great potential, but are not without side-effects as presently implemented. This is well demonstrated in the cancer field, where a chance of severe short-term, or even lasting immune-related issues is a risk that patients are willing to take given the alternatives on the table. Here, researchers suggest that the immunotherapies tested against Alzheimer's disease in clinical trials are producing an accelerated shrinkage of brain tissue, perhaps because of raised inflammation. In recent years, these immunotherapies have succeeded in clearing extracellular amyloid-β, but have not improved patient outcom...

Finding hope in the face of cancer
“My best friend’s mother arrived at our oncology outpatient department. She had recently been diagnosed with locally advanced breast cancer and was understandably apprehensive, filled with numerous questions. I took her medical history and performed an examination. She didn’t have any relatives with cancer, so all the treatments and terminology were completely unfamiliar to her. Read more… Finding hope in the face of cancer originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Off and on chest pain for 24 hours in a 50s year old man
Submitted by Ali Khan MD and James Mantas MD, MS, written by Pendell MeyersA man in his 50s with history of diabetes, hypertension, and tobacco use presented to the ED with 24 hours of worsening left sided chest pain radiating to the back, characterized as squeezing and pinching, associated with shortness of breath. His pain was initially mild, then became severely worse several hours prior to presentation, but then eased off again and was minimal on arrival. There was no associated diaphoresis, nausea, vomiting, arm pain, jaw pain, syncope, lightheadedness or other acute symptoms.Initial vitals: Temp 36.7 C, BP 161/79, RR...
