Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 21st 2023
This study aimed to investigate the association between frailty index and circulating CAP2 concentration in 467 community-dwelling older adults (median age: 79; range: 65-92 years). The selected robust regression model showed that circulating CAP2 concentration was not associated with chronological age, as well as sex and education. However, circulating CAP2 concentration was significantly and inversely associated with the frailty index: a 0.1-unit increase in frailty index leads to ~0.5-point mean decrease in CAP2 concentration. Furthermore, mean CAP2 concentration was significantly lower in frail participants (i.e., fr...

Patient complaints prompt hospital to reevaluate doctor ’ s bedside manner
Tom, a doctor friend, recently told me he was reprimanded by Michael, his hospital’s medical chief of staff, after two patients lodged complaints against him. One instance involved a man whom Tom informed of a cancer recurrence. When the man cried, Tom put his hand on the man’s knee, attempting to comfort him. However, the Read more… Patient complaints prompt hospital to reevaluate doctor’s bedside manner originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Hopes and Questions raised by Alzheimer ’s drug Leqembi (lecanemab)
The FDA has approved Leqembi, the first disease-modifying treatment for early-stage Alzheimer’s and a precursor condition, mild cognitive impairment. Medicare has said it will pay for the therapy. Medical centers across the country are scrambling to finalize policies and procedures for providing the medication to patients, possibly by summer’s end or early autumn. It’s a fraught moment, with hope running high for families and other promising therapies such as donanemab on the horizon. Still, medical providers are cautious. “This is an important first step in developing treatments for complex neurodegenerative disea...

Removing workflow burdens and improving access for colorectal cancer screenings
After much outcry, UnitedHealthcare announced that they are no longer moving forward with their controversial prior authorization policy that would require members to get approval from the insurance company to receive a diagnostic colonoscopy to detect cancer. Instead, UnitedHealthcare has discussed implementing an alternative: an advanced notification process that would require physicians to collect and Read more… Removing workflow burdens and improving access for colorectal cancer screenings originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

THCB 20th Birthday Classic:  As I’ve always suspected, Health Care = Communism + Frappuccinos
By MATTHEW HOLT Our 20th birthday continues with a few classics coming out. Back in 2005 I was really cutting a lyrical rug, and would never miss a chance to get that Cambridge training in Marxism into use. This essay about whether health care should be a public or private good has always been one of my favorites, even if I’m not sure Starbucks is still making Frappuccinos. And 18 years later the basic point of this essay remains true, even if many of you will not have a clue who Vioxx or Haliburton were or why they mattered back then! Those of you who think I’m an unreconstructed commie will correctly suspec...

Survivors of Nuclear Weapon Use in Early Life Exhibit Accelerated Immune Aging in Late Life
It probably strains the meaning of the term to call the aftermath of the use of nuclear weapons at the end of the Second World War a natural experiment, but nonetheless there has been considerable study of survivors from those events and their health relative to control populations in other parts of Japan. Irradiation is known to produce what is effectively accelerated aging in the context of cancer treatment, producing an increased burden of senescent cells that then ensure the later course of health for survivors is worse than would otherwise be the case, absent both cancer and treatment. In the case of exposure to radia...

What Is Pharmacology?
Credit: iStock. Pharmacology is the study of how molecules, such as medicines, interact with the body. Scientists who study pharmacology are called pharmacologists, and they explore the chemical properties, biological effects, and therapeutic uses of medicines and other molecules. Their work can be broken down into two main areas: Pharmacokinetics is the study of how the body acts on a medicine, including its processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Pharmacodynamics is the study of how a medicine acts in the body—both on its intended target and throughout all the organs and tissue...

A Selective Destruction Theory of Aging
At present the research community cannot robustly connect underlying causative processes of aging, such as those described in the SENS view of damage and rejuvenation, or some of the hallmarks of aging, to higher level manifestations of aging, such as declining function or changing biomarkers associated with age-related disease. This gives great freedom to theorize on how exactly the present voluminous but disconnected body of data on aging, cellular biochemistry, and age-related disease all fits together. There is no shortage of theories of aging, and no sign that the research community will cease to create new ones at an...
