We might have been able to dig the surface of Mars, build artificially intelligent robots and make virtual reality a new normal but everything comes with a price and in exchange of this technologically advanced era, we have traded our health. The modern-day lifestyle looks amazing from outside as we are now equipped with many scientific and technological marvels which a decade ago, were not even imagi...

Trocar during Times of Trauma
Seventy-five percent of trauma injuries involve some kind of thoracic insult, a quarter of which need a procedural intervention like a chest tube. (Surg Clin North Am 2007;87[1]:95; http://bit.ly/2HaoX90.) Long-term illness, lung disease, and post-operative complications may cause pleural effusions or a pneumothorax, so treating these conditions quickly can significantly decrease patient morbidity and mortality. Other indications for chest tube placement include:Trauma: Pneumothorax, hemopneumothorax, or tension pneumothoraxLong-term illness: Pleural effusion (cancer, pneumonia)Infection: Em...

From Human To Cyborg: Are You Willing To Augment Your Body?
What if you could have a heat-map vision to search
through an abandoned terrain? What if you could filter out unpleasant odors of
urban decay every now and then? Can you imagine hearing ultrasounds better than
bats? And what about lifting 20 tons or having a third, bionic arm? With the
rapid advancement of technologies, the future of healthcare might not just be
about being healthy, but even augmenting our bodies and “upgrading” ourselves.
Where would you draw the line between being a human and a cyborg?
Superhuman traits in sight: perceiving colors as sounds

wish for a perfect human body with enhanced capabi...

Nanotechnology Will Break The Curse Running Through Generations
A fictional tale about the healing power of technology
The mutation of the CDH1 gene determines the fate of
generations of men in a Czech small town. The great-grandfather
dies unexpectedly upon returning home from the trenches of the first World War
– he survives the bullets of the Italian front
but gives in after a pint of beer and schnitzel. The grandfather was already diagnosed
with an illness, gastric cancer, which required the removal of his entire
stomach – but his life couldn’t be saved either. His son was luckier, he was
diagnosed in time with an early stage hereditary diffuse gastric cancer and had
e...

Aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, part 2
Update
In March 2019, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) released new guidelines that suggest that most adults without a history of heart disease should not take low-dose daily aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke. Based on the ASPREE, ARRIVE, and ASCEND trials, the ACC/AHA guidelines concluded that the risk of side effects from aspirin, particularly bleeding, outweighed the potential benefit.
The new guidelines do not pertain to people with established cardiovascular disease, in whom the benefits of daily aspirin have been found to outweigh the risks.

Bodily Fluids As The Basis For Digital Health
Blood, saliva, urine, sweat or even ear wax can carry valuable information about an individual’s medical state. Until now, even simpler tests on such bodily fluids had to be carried out at medical facilities, but with the recent uptick in the development of digital diagnostic technologies, more and more solutions appear on the market which enable the patient to do such tests at home. Here we take a look around the bodily fluid business.
From bloodletting to digital sweat measurement
Blood, yellow bile, black bile, phlegm. Although it
doesn’t sound appealing, the ancient Greek already thought that bodily fluids ma...

Medicinal Mushrooms: Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor), Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and Lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus)
There some evidence in PubMed than medicinal mushrooms may play a role in treatment of some cancers. Most of the claims of medical benefits are bot backed up by high quality studies as of 2019. References are below.---What is turkey tail?Turkey tail is a type of mushroom that grows on dead logs worldwide. It's named turkey tail because its rings of brown and tan look like the tail feathers of a turkey. Its scientific name is Trametes versicolor or Coriolus versicolor.

In this study, we examined the benefits of early-onset, lifelong AET on predictors of health, inflammation, and cancer incidence in a naturally aging mouse model.
Lifelong, voluntary wheel-running (O-AET; 26-month-old) prevented age-related declines in aerobic fitness and motor coordination vs. age-matched, sedentary controls (O-SED). AET also provided partial protection against sarcopenia, dynapenia, testicular atrophy, and overall organ pathology, hence augmenting the 'physiologic reserve' of lifelong runners. Systemic inflammation, as evidenced by a chronic elevation in 17 of 18 pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokin...

GrimAge is the Latest Evolution of the Epigenetic Clock
The original epigenetic clock is a measure of age, a weighted algorithmic combination of specific DNA methylation sites on the genome. Numerous variations on this theme are being produced, and here I'll point out news on the latest, a metric called GrimAge. DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that steers protein production and thus cell behavior. Epigenetic clocks correlate well with chronological age, and it has been shown that populations of older individuals with pronounced age-related disease or otherwise exhibiting higher mortality rates tend to have higher epigenetic ages.
There are some problematic exc...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 31st 2018
In conclusion, there are many anti-aging strategies in development, some of which have shown considerable promise for slowing down aging or delaying the onset of age-related diseases. From multiple pre-clinical studies, it appears that upregulation of autophagy through autophagy enhancers, elimination of senescent cells using senolytics, transfusion of plasma from young blood, neurogenesis and BDNF enhancement through specific drugs are promising approaches to sustain normal health during aging and also to postpone age-related diseases. However, these approaches will require critical assessment in clinical trials to determ...
