Magnetic Tentacle Robot Travels Deep into Lungs
Researchers at the University of Leeds in the UK have created a magnetic “tentacle robot” that is just 2 mm in diameter, which they hope will be able to navigate through some of the smallest airways in our lungs. At present, a bronchoscope is use...

This study tests the feasibility of chronically elevating skeletal muscle NAD+ in mice and investigates the putative effects on mitochondrial respiratory capacity, insulin sensitivity, and gene expression. The metabolic effects of NR and PT treatment were modest. We conclude that the chronic elevation of skeletal muscle NAD+ by the intravenous injection of NR is possible but does not affect muscle respiratory capacity or insulin sensitivity in either sedentary or physically active mice. Our data have implications for NAD+ precursor supplementation regimens.

Muscle Strengthening Activities in Later Life Correlate with Reduced Mortality
Past studies have demonstrated reduced mortality as a result of strength training in older individuals. Muscle tissue is metabolically active, involved in a range of processes in the body, such as insulin metabolism and control of inflammation. Here this review paper, researchers note the correlation between activities that strengthen muscle and lower mortality in epidemiological data. It is worth thinking about for those of us tempted to let the exercise schedule lapse as life moves on.
Physical inactivity is a global public health problem. Regular engagement in muscle-strengthening activities (eg, resistance tra...

Long Term Data on Particulate Air Pollution and Dementia in a US Population
There is plenty of evidence for particulate air pollution to have a negative effect on long-term health, particularly those derived from Asian populations that are exposed to more coal and wood smoke than tends to be the case in the US and Western Europe. While the relative importance of the various mechanisms involved are up for debate, the most plausible are those involving raised inflammation as a result of interactions between particles and lung tissue. The chronic inflammation of aging drives near all age-related conditions, and more inflammation means more dysfunction.
As researchers note here, not all particu...

Tobacco is a painful addiction
Smoking cigarettes is well known to cause heart disease, lung cancer, and premature death. In the face of these risks of death, quality of life issues that affect smokers are often overlooked. Although some quality of life issues such as cost, cravings, inconvenience, illness, and stigma are well known, some important effects are largely unknownRead more …Tobacco is a painful addiction originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Wear your mask to protect your family
Below is a story a patient shared with me about how he went from being against mask-wearing to wearing one every day. *** Last year, my mom died from stage 4 lung cancer. Before she passed, she received her transplant at this hospital, but it was too late for her. Now, I am fighting cancer.Read more …Wear your mask to protect your family originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

The Surprisingly Sustainable Household Items You Didn ’t Know You Could Recycle
One of the biggest environmental issues we are facing today is climate change. It has an impact on every aspect of our lives, including our health and wellbeing. Recycling means fewer raw materials are required to make items, which helps reduce our carbon footprint and our contribution to climate change. A new study by packaging experts RAJA UK has uncovered just how much waste is not being recycled, and as a result, ends up in our ecosystem. Here are just a few of the ways not recycling or reusing items is having a direct impact on both our health and the world around us.
The pressures that are put on the environment...

The rise of targeted therapies: the era of the patient-focused approach
There is an urgent need for innovation in cancer treatments. Although we ’ve seen significant progress in indications for drugs treating particular diseases, cancer research data shows that 10-year survival statistics for cancers such as esophageal and lung cancer, for instance, have shown only a 10 percent increase, while pancreatic cancer has shown no significant im provement sinceRead more …The rise of targeted therapies: the era of the patient-focused approach originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

Digital Health Interests Of Pharma Giants Boehringer Ingelheim, Takeda, Astrazeneca, Amgen And Roche
With their extending reaches, resources and influence, pharmaceutical heavyweights have the potential to shape the digital health landscape to line up with their interests. And to have a better picture of where those interests lie, it is worth taking a look at what moves pharma giants are making in this sphere. With this in mind, we started a series of articles focusing on the digital health efforts of 14 global pharma companies.
The first article explored developments coming from Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Bayer and Novartis, while the second article investigated those coming from Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, AbbV...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, October 4th 2021
In conclusion, premature thymic involution and chronic inflammation greatly contribute to increased morbidity and mortality in CKD patients. Mechanisms are likely to be multiple and interlinked. Even when the quest to fountain of youth is a pipe dream, there are many scientific opportunities to prevent or to, at least in part, reverse CKD-related immune senescence. Further studies should precisely define most important pathways driving premature immune ageing in CKD patients and best therapeutic options to control them.

Senolytics as a Potential Treatment for Precancerous Lesions
It is reasonable to think that intermittent treatment with senolytics can suppress cancer incidence by killing the senescent cells that are present in precancerous lesions, whether or not they are too small to be identified by present screening techniques. This should reduce the number of cells that can potentially go on to become cancerous, and also remove the contribution of senescent cell signaling to the growth and inflammatory status of the lesion. It should not be too challenging to prove this hypothesis in animal models, but prevention of cancer in the general sense is, unfortunately, a hard sell when it comes to cl...

Towards Better Cancer Vaccines via Identification of Important Neoantigens and T Cell Populations
Tumor cells have identifying surface markers that the immune system can in principle attack, but vaccination against those surface markers in order to encourage an anti-tumor immune response has been hit and miss. Researchers here dig deeper into the mechanisms that may explain this variability in response, and thus allow a more viable approach to patient-specific cancer vaccines that will more effectively rouse the immune system to target cancerous cells.
When cells begin to turn cancerous, they start producing mutated proteins not seen in healthy cells. These cancerous proteins, also called neoantigens, can aler...

American Primary Care is a Big Waste of Time (When …)
By HANS DUVEFELT
Before Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1450, books in Europe were copied by hand, mostly by monks and clergy. Ironically, they were often called scribes, the same word we now use for the new class of healthcare workers employed to improve the efficiency of physician documentation.
Think about that for a moment: American doctors are employing almost medieval methods in what is supposed to be the era of computers. Why aren’t we using AI for documentation?
The pathetically cumbersome methods of documentation available (required) for our clinical encounters is only one of several a...

4 Reasons to Support Sustainability
When President Biden entered office, he enhanced the national sustainability standards. As we develop an eco-friendly infrastructure, we adopt new technologies and systems that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Society may accept the alterations without understanding the expansive benefits.
By exploring sustainability’s advantages, individuals are more likely to support the transition away from fossil fuels. Utilizing electric appliances, adopting an eco-friendly diet, eliminating fast fashion purchases and more can shrink one’s carbon footprint while enhancing savings. Over time, sustainable commercial and individua...
