Exercise and Epigenetics in Neurodegeneration
It is indisputably the case that regular exercise and maintenance of physical fitness into later life lowers the incidence and slows the progression of neurodegenerative disease. One can write any number of reviews akin to today's open access paper, walking through the evidence for cellular pathways involved in neurodegeneration to be beneficially influenced by physical activity, as well as the epidemiological data linking fitness and exercise with a reduced burden of neurodegeneration in the broader population. There is a great deal of evidence, even even we restrict ourselves to only those studies published in the past t...

The FDA ’s Culture: Should Safety Dominate All Practices?
By STEVEN ZECOLA
An organization’s culture is an internal set of shared values, attitudes and practices. The cohesiveness of the organizational culture will affect whether the entity will meet its vision, purpose, and goals.
One type of organizational culture is hierarchical in nature. Unlike a risk-taking culture, this structure features policy, process and precision. It is best suited for mature and stable organizations.
The disadvantage of a hierarchal culture is that its stability and control can turn into rigidity. In many cases, the organization develops a negative attitude towards ideas s...

George Halvorson HIMSS Changemaker Lifetime Achievement Award Acceptance Speech, Part 2
Former Kaiser Permanente CEO George Halvorson has written on THCB on and off over the years, most notably last year with his proposal for Medicare Advantage for All post-COVID. This month he was given a lifetime achievement award by HIMSS and we are running his acceptance speech in two parts. We ran part one last week, and here’s part two– Matthew Holt
We also initially have an important and continuously improving sense of the epigenetic processes that exist in all of us to develop our own responses to the world we are in at a biological level, and we should be able to use that information to improve ou...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 23rd 2021
In this study, we used the UK Biobank (n = 440,185) to resolve previous ambiguities in the relationship between serum IGF-1 levels and clinical disease. We examined prospective associations of serum IGF-1 with mortality, dementia, vascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancer, finding two generalized patterns.
First, IGF-1 interacts with age to modify risk in a manner consistent with antagonistic pleiotropy; younger individuals with high IGF-1 are protected from disease, while older individuals with high IGF-1 are at increased risk for incident disease or death. Second, the association between IGF-1 and risk ...

In conclusion, cancer survivors, especially older individuals, demonstrate greater odds of and accelerated functional decline, suggesting that cancer and/or its treatment may alter aging trajectories.
Linking Particulate Air Pollution and Dementia in a Small Region of the US
https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/08/linking-particulate-air-pollution-and-dementia-in-a-small-region-of-the-us/
It is fairly settled that evident particulate air pollution, such as daily exposure to smoke from wood-fueled cooking fires, has a strongly detrimental effect on long-term health. The mechanisms involved are inflamm...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 9th 2021
In conclusion, the present study supports that some age-related diseases as well as education are causally related to longevity and highlights several new targets for achieving longevity, including management of venous thromboembolism, appropriate intake of sugar, and control of body fat. Our results warrant further studies to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of these reported causal associations.

This study aimed to determine the association between: (i) cognitive decline and bone loss; and (ii) clinically significant cognitive decline on Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) over the first 5 years and subsequent fracture risk over the following 10 years. A total of 1741 women and 620 men aged ≥65 years from the population-based Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study were followed from 1997 to 2013. Over 95% of participants had normal cognition at baseline. After multivariable adjustment, cognitive decline was associated with bone loss in women but not men. Approximately 13% of participants experienced sign...

The Future Belongs to Digital Pathology
Advances in artificial intelligence are slowly transforming the specialty, much the way radiology is being transformed by similar advances in digital technology.John Halamka, M.D., president, Mayo Clinic Platform, and Paul Cerrato, senior research analyst and communications specialist, Mayo Clinic Platform, wrote this article.Any patient who faces a potential cancer diagnosis knows how important an accurate, timely pathology report is. Similarly, surgeons often require fast pathology results when they are performing a delicate procedure to determine their course of action during an operation. New technological develop...

Transfer of Damaged Lysosomes in the Spread of α-synuclein Pathology in the Aging Brain
Parkinson's disease is the best known of the synucleinopathies, age-related neurodegenerative conditions characterized by the damaging aggregation of misfolded α-synuclein. This is one of only a few proteins in the body that can misfold in ways that encourage other molecules of the same protein to also misfold, creating a contagion that can slowly spread from cell to cell, and aggregate into toxic structures that disrupt cell function and kill cells.
Today's research materials examine some of the details of the spread of misfolded α-synuclein. This is an important topic for the same reasons that metastasis of canc...

Preserving Patient Dignity (Formerly Patient Modesty) Volume 119
As can been seen and read on the previous Volumes, defining and establishing recognition and preserving the inherent dignity of each and every patient is a challenge for all those who attend them. It is a challenge which is not removable nor to be discarded but must be part of each and every interaction with a patient or even the patient ' s family. And even a pet cat as a ill cat and patient deserves dignified professional care. Such an example was published on Volume 118 but reproduced here as presented by JR. She contrasts the pet ' s attention and care with her current and prior description of th...

In conclusion, our study demonstrated that elevated cumulative SBP or DBP was independently associated with increased risk of CVD in the Chinese population. Among participants with 15-year cumulative BP levels higher than the median, that is, 1970.8/1239.9 mmHg-year for cumulative SBP/DBP, which was equivalent to maintaining SBP/DBP level higher than 131/83 mmHg in 15 years, the CVD risk would increase significantly irrespective of whether or not the BP measurements at one examination was high. Our findings emphasize the importance of cumulative BP level in identifying individuals with high risk of CVD in the future.
