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, ...

ChatGPT In Healthcare: What Science Says
This study demonstrates that ChatGPT, a large language model, can assist in radiologic decision-making at the point of care, achieving moderate to high accuracy in determining appropriate imaging steps for breast cancer screening and breast pain evaluation, although limitations of the model, such as misalignment and “hallucinations”, must be considered when designing clinically-oriented prompts for use with large language models.Analysis of large-language model versus human performance for genetics questionsMedrxivThe use of language models like ChatGPT in clinical genetics has the potential to provide rapid an...

Using Robots and Artificial Intelligence to Search for New Medicines
Courtesy of Dr. Adam Gormley. Adam Gormley, Ph.D., describes himself as a creative and adventurous person—albeit, not creative in the traditional sense. “Science allows me to be creative; to me, it’s a form of art. I love being outdoors, going on sailing trips, and spending time adventuring with my family. Research is the same—it’s an adventure. My creative and adventurous sides have combined into a real love for science,” he says. Dr. Gormley currently channels his passion for science into his position as an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey. Lea...

Reviewing the Complexity of Immunosenescence
The immune system becomes more inflammatory and less competent with advancing age, undergoing sweeping changes in immune cell characteristics and relative population sizes. The cells, structures, and processes that produce immune cells similarly undergo significant changes. Taken together, this is called immunosenescence, though many researchers choose to break out the inflammatory component of dysfunction into its own category, calling it inflammaging. One of the most important goals for the research community is to find ways to improve immune function in older people. Evidently, the decline of the immune system is...

Asking Bard And ChatGPT To Find The Best Medical Care, I Got Truth And Truthiness
BY MICHAEL MILLENSON If you ask ChatGPT how many procedures a certain surgeon does or a specific hospital’s infection rate, the OpenAI and Microsoft chatbot inevitably replies with some version of, “I don’t do that.” But depending upon how you ask, Google’s Bard provides a very different response, even recommending a “consultation” with particular clinicians. Bard told me how many knee replacement surgeries were performed by major Chicago hospitals in 2021, their infection rates and the national average. It even told me which Chicago surgeon does the most knee surgeries and his infection rate. When I...

Why is being a patient a difficult pill to swallow?
While being treated for an aggressive hematologic cancer, the former head of a department of medicine at a large teaching hospital told me he wished he could hang a sign on his headboard, reading P-I-P: Previously-Important-Person.

A Therapist ’s Reflection In the Face of a Patient’s Death
I sat in the funeral home and just stood back and observed. There was a montage of pictures. I had an opportunity to see him in his youth, when he got married, and when he was a single parent with two very young children. In these photos I got the chance to meet all the people he’s spoken about for over 15 years with me. There were actual faces to the people I have grown to know so intimately. The thing that amazed me the most was that there were so many people present that it was standing room only. I wasn’t just imagining it, there were a plethora of people who seemed to really know and care about him. It was obvi...
