The Burden of Somatic Mutation with Age
Mutational damage occurs constantly to nuclear DNA throughout life. Little of that damage goes unrepaired, and little of the lasting breakage occurs in active parts of the genome. Where mutations go unrepaired in active parts of the genome, little of that occurs in important genes. Where it does occur in important genes, that only matters to the extent that (a) the mutation can spread, and (b) the mutation is potentially cancerous. Comparatively few cells in the body have the capacity to create many descendant cells through replication, as the Hayflick limit ensures that near all cells are limited in the number of times th...

An Update on Senolytics Company Cleara Biotech
Senescent cells accumulate with age, and that accumulation is responsible for a meaningful fraction of degenerative aging. Many groups are working on ways to remove these cells and thereby reverse aspects of aging. Among their number, Cleara Biotech was founded four years ago on to advance initially promising work on the FOXO4-p53 interaction in cellular senescence, a possible targeted way to destroy senescent cells. This approach will join the numerous other mechanisms already being exploited as the basis for potential rejuvenation therapies. A couple of companies have been looking into FOXO4 biochemistry in the co...

HDL Level, Age, and Smoking are the Largest Determinants of Mortality Risk in Old People
An interesting epidemiological study here stratifies the contributions of various metrics to mortality in later life, age 70 and older. The authors find that the largest effects arise from HDL level, chronological age, and smoking. The largest single cause of death in our species is atherosclerosis, a progressive malfunction in clearance of cholesterol from blood vessel walls that leads to fatty plaques, narrowed arteries, stroke, and heart attack. HDL particles carry excess cholesterol from blood vessel walls back to the liver for excretion, and - thus over a lifetime - the more HDL in circulation one has, the greater the...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, October 17th 2022
This study investigated whether multimorbidity is associated with incident dementia and whether associations vary by different clusters of disease and genetic risk for dementia. The study used data from the UK Biobank cohort, with baseline data collected between 2006 and 2010 and with up to 15 years of follow-up. Participants included women and men without dementia and aged at least 60 years at baseline. The presence of at least 2 long-term conditions from a preselected list of 42 conditions was used to define multimorbidity. A total of 206,960 participants (mean age 64.1 years) were included in the final sample, of...

Targeting the Gut Microbiome to Treat Aging
The distribution of microbial populations making up the gut microbiome changes with age in ways that are harmful to health, causing a reduction in production of beneficial metabolites and an increase in chronic inflammation. Animal studies make it clear that some approaches to restoring a more youthful gut microbiome, such as fecal microbiota transplantation from young donors, can produce a sustained rejuvenation of the gut microbiome and consequent improvement in later life health. Given the comparatively simplicity of this approach, and that the state of the gut microbiome can accurately measured via low-cost assays, thi...

Weekly Overseas Health IT Links –24th September, 2022.
This article makes the case and explains what will be required to make it happen.We hear a lot about “digital health” these days. As data about our health piles up — thanks to sources like electronic health records, personal fitness apps and gadgets, and home genome test kits — weshould understand a lot more than we used to about what ’s wrong with our health and what to do about it. But having a lot of data is not enough. We have to be aware of what we have, understand what it means, and act on that understanding. While the challenges are in some ways more acute in the United States because of its fragmented sys...

I ’ m a doctor who just had his first colonoscopy in my 60s — without anesthesia
Well, I am that family physician and geriatrician who is now almost 70 years old. And I cannot believe it because, in some ways, I am still like 27 years old! First of all, I’m very healthy, and I’m lucky that nobody in my family had colon cancer or any cancer. Most of my relatives Read more… I’m a doctor who just had his first colonoscopy in my 60s — without anesthesia originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

The Complicated Prostate: Cancer Is a Concern but There ' s More to Consider
Most younger men don’t spend a lot of time considering the health of their prostate. However, around the age of 50, they’ll likely find that their physicians want to check out prostate health both physically and through blood work known as a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. The PSA is not a perfect test, but it’s still used to help detect prostate cancer since there aren’t many alternatives. National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is meant to increase the knowledge about possible prostate problems and make certain that men get checked out regularly. What is the prostate? The prostate is a small organ locat...

AI Adoption in Healthcare Requires Better Approaches to Patient Data
The following is a guest article by Vanessa Braunstein, Healthcare Product Marketing Lead at NVIDIA. Building great AI models in healthcare and life sciences requires lots of data that is diverse, well-labeled, and spans across different patient types. However, as AI gains traction, there are still a number of bottlenecks that slow down the process of developing robust AI models such as patient privacy, access to data, and lack of clinical expertise to annotate data for training. In order to overcome these barriers, data scientists and developers have developed new solutions such as federated learning paradigms, AI models ...

How IoT Medical Devices Save and Improve Lives
The following is a guest article by Erik Kling, Interim Head of IoT Americas at Vodafone Business. IoT, or the Internet of Things, has transformed our homes with connected lights and smart appliances. It’s also revolutionized all areas of business, including manufacturing. Sensors connected to the internet can track goods throughout the supply chain — from sourcing materials to delivering completed products to consumers. IoT technology has improved the way we live, but its most profound impact may be in healthcare, where it’s saving lives and improving health. Before IoT revolutionized healthcare, doctors and care pr...
