Stop the s.-shaming: HPV vaccines prevent cancer
I met “Samantha” during my first rotation as an intern. She was a strong-willed and optimistic lady who weighed about 100 pounds. She was dependent on a tube in her stomach for nutrition, and she appeared 10 or 15 years older than her age of 44 years. Pictures of her children were next to her bed. I asked her how we could help her. She cried.
Her husband of 20 years was by her side and answered for her. “She wants to eat again,” he stated. Her tears worsened.
The problem is that Samantha would probably not tolerate normal food again because her digestive organs were permanently damaged from radiation to her abdomen...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 1st 2017
In this study we demonstrate the use of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based epigenome editing to alter cell response to inflammatory environments by repressing inflammatory cytokine cell receptors, specifically TNFR1 and IL1R1. This has applications for many inflammatory-driven diseases. It could be applied for arthritis or to therapeutic cells that are being delivered to inflammatory environments that need to be protected from inflammation."
In chronic back pain, for example, slipped or herniated discs are a result of damaged tissue when inflammation causes cells to create molec...

A Nanoparticle Cancer Vaccine Effective Against Multiple Varieties of Cancer
The most important projects in cancer research are those that might produce therapies effective against many different types of cancer. There are too many varieties of cancer and individual tumors can evolve too rapidly for the research community to achieve its goals by working on highly specific therapies. To defeat cancer within the next few decades, the aim must be to produce broadly effective therapies, targeting common mechanisms and vulnerabilities shared by many or all cancers. There projects cost the same as more narrowly applicable approaches, but are much more cost-effective for the results they might produce. Th...

Why President Trump Should Use Foreign Aid For Health To Make America Great
The Trump administration recently proposed to make major cuts to US foreign assistance, including the $10.3 billion a year that the federal government spends to advance global health through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and the United Nations.
As practitioners with more than 60 years of combined experience, we believe that the Trump administration is making a terrible mistake. Investing in global health is essential to the safety, security, and future prosperity of the United States, in addition to being a highl...

Precision Medicine Is Our Best Hope In The Fight Against Cancer
In the fight against cancer, precision medicine is one of the most promising tools and the logical outcome of current healthcare trends. As start-ups offering personalized healthcare solutions multiply like mushrooms after rain, governments and regulatory agencies have to give appropriate responses in regulating the grass-root healthcare jungle. Here is my analysis about the potential and dilemmas about precision medicine.
Precision medicine is the logical outcome of modern healthcare
There is one phrase, which is not part of the Hippocratic Oath, but everyone in medicine knows it. Primum non nocere, meaning “first do n...

Conservatives Are Using The American Health Care Act To Restrict Private Insurance From Covering Abortion
Earlier this month, House Republicans introduced their first draft of legislation to repeal and replace large portions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). While they found themselves divided on a wide range of important issues, from the ACA’s Medicaid expansion and subsidies in the form of tax credits, in one area they were united. The new legislation, titled the American Health Care Act (AHCA), includes language barring federal money from being used to support any private insurance plan that covers abortion. These efforts are an extension of a long-term campaign to isolate abortion from the rest of the health care system ...

CMS Will Soon Unleash a New Appropriate Use Mandate
Cardiac imaging is in need of some wrangling. Professional medical associations and universities across the U.S. have developed appropriate use criteria (AUC) for physicians when determining if a patient should go through cardiac testing. However, a group of physicians believe that the AUC “is no longer an idealistic exercise” and a Centers for Medicare& Medicaid Services (CMS)-approved technique will soon be required when evaluating a patient ’s need for imaging procedures.AUC encourages physicians to utilize evidence or expert opinion when deciding if a patient should receive testing while using a three-fold ru...

The American Health Care Act And Medicaid: Changing A Half-Century Federal-State Partnership
Based on page length alone, it is evident that Medicaid is a focal point of the American Health Care Act, released on March 6. Although its fate is uncertain, the bill provides a clear sense of where the Affordable Care Act repeal and replace strategy is heading. Where Medicaid is concerned, what has been discussed for years has now become real: using ACA repeal/replace as the vehicle for a wholesale restructuring of the very financial foundation of the Medicaid program as it has existed over an unparalleled, half-century federal/state partnership.
As expected, the House bill essentially eliminates the enhanced funding lev...

New study: polydatin blasts myeloma cells to smithereens
Discussion part, where the researchers state that polydatin was found to be less toxic to normal cells. Does that mean it was somewhat toxic to normal cells, though less so, compared to cancer cells? I couldn’t find an answer…can anyone else find it?
Reading on, we see that polydatin (or PD, for short), “functioned as a tumor suppressor in MM cells. The proliferation of MM cells decreased and apoptosis increased progressively along with the increasing concentrations of PD.” Super duper…again.
The study concludes that “PD effectively suppressed cell growth and induced apoptosis and auto...

No. 2 in the World on International Women ’ s Day
Whether we’re in Baltimore ensuring screening for cervical cancer or on the other side of the world teaching midwifery practices, our international reputation reflects the impact John Hopkins nurses, students, and faculty have had in the lives of women. So it’s a pretty neat coincidence that on International Women’s Day we have learned that the

Parapharyngeal space schwanomma :MRI
The parapharyngeal space is often described to be a deep potential neck space shaped as an inverted pyramid. The base of the pyramid is at the skull base, and the apex is at the greater cornu of the hyoid bone. Clinically, the parapharyngeal space should be considered in two compartments: pre-styloid compartment and poststyloid compartment. This patient showed well-defined, iso- to hyper-intense mass with heterogenous areas of enhancement in the left parapharyngeal space in the poststyloid compartment, displacing the major vessels and compressing the oropharyngeal airway.Of all the parapharyngeal space tumor...
