It is OK for the doctor to cry
He sat there holding his wife’s hands and hugging her as tightly as he possibly could.  Tears were streaming down her face, and she was vulnerable to the diagnosis I had just bestowed upon her. Cancer, the “C” letter word nobody wanted to hear, suddenly invaded the lives of this newly married couple. Multiple thoughts were running through my mind before bestowing her this fatal and life changing diagnosis to her: How do I tell her she has metastatic end stage pancreatic cancer caught tragically late? Do I proceed to the point? How many family members should be present? Continue reading ... Your patients are rating ...

Venous thromboembolism in cancer – Cardiology MCQ
Which of the following cancer has the highest relative risk of venous thromboembolism? a) Pancreatic cancer b) Brain cancer c) Multiple myeloma d) Colonic cancer Correct answer: c) Multiple myeloma Multiple myeloma has forty six fold risk of venous thromboembolism than healthy controls while brain cancer has twenty fold and pancreatic cancer sixteen fold relative risk. But by absolute numbers, most episodes occur with lung, colon and prostate  cancer [1]. Chemotherapy confers six fold extra risk though chemotherapy per se is not considered an indication for prophylactic anticoagulation in ambulatory patients, the exceptio...

A Glance at the State of Virotherapy as a Cancer Treatment
The future of cancer treatments is, one way or another, all about two things: (a) the ability to identify and target common mechanisms in a broad range of cancers so that one technology platform, one research initiative, can be useful for many patients rather than just a few, and (b) targeting cancer cells so that treatments are far more effective and have few and negligible side-effects. Today's cancer treatments are highly specific to cancer types and subtypes, the result of a large number of parallel lines of development undertaken at great cost, and are also damaging to the patient's healthy tissue. At the most blunt e...

Media Outlets Using 2013 Open Payments Data To Imply Misconduct
Open Payments, a public list of the transfers of value made from pharmaceutical and device manufacturers to physicians and teaching hospitals, has yet to be the basis for a government enforcement action. The Justice Department has not, for example, explicitly used the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ database as the foundation for bringing kickback allegations against a company. That day may be a ways off—after all the database currently lists only five months of payment data covering September through December of 2013, and a large portion of that data is aggregated, meaning it doesn't list the physician rec...

Continued Investigations of Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells in Adult Tissues
It is important in the development of the present and the next generation of stem cell therapies to have cheap, reliable access to patient-specific pluripotent stem cells on demand. These are the basic starting point for generating therapeutic cells of a specific type, and only pluripotent cells have the capacity to create cells of any type. This is why there there is so much interest in developing the technology of induced pluripotency, for example, by which any cell sample from a patient can be used to create pluripotent cells. Some researchers believe that adult tissues contain populations of pluripotent stem cells nece...

Cellular ‘Cruise Control’ Systems Let Cells Sense and Adapt to Changing Demands
Cells are the ultimate smart material. They can sense the demands being placed on them during critical life processes and then respond by strengthening, remodeling or self-repairing, for instance. To do this, cells use “mechanosensory” systems similar to the cruise control that lets a car’s engine adjust its power output when going up or down hills. Researchers are uncovering new details on cells’ molecular cruise control systems. By learning more about the inner workings of these systems, scientists hope ultimately to devise ways to tinker with them for therapeutic purposes. Cell Fusion To examine how cells fine-t...

The ABCs of your post-grain experience
Wheat/grain elimination is an exceptionally powerful tool for restoring health, reducing inflammation, returning metabolic distortions such as high blood sugar and blood pressure back to normal, and for losing weight. But many of the adverse health effects of years of grain consumption do not fully reverse with their elimination. Specific efforts may therefore need to be undertaken to accelerate your return to full health. Taking these extra steps stacks the odds heavily in your favor that you will enjoy full recovery from abnormal health conditions. Among the strategies to consider are: Cultivate and nourish healthy bowel...

Type 1 Diabetes Autoimmunity Makes News
Back in 2012, Novo Nordisk made headlines (whether deservedly or not) for establishing a Seattle research center (see the press release at http://prn.to/1OAukdP for more detail) to focus on autoimmunity that is the core reason type 1 diabetes occurs.  Truth be told, there were never more than twenty researchers at this facility, although the company did manage to sign such prominent type 1 diabetes immunologists as Matthias von Herrath whose primary work actually takes place in San Diego at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI), a non-profit research institute founded in 1988 that focuses on the u...

Do you have a WOOD deficiency?
I can hear the titters now. But, seriously, do you have a deficiency of wood fiber, i.e., cellulose? No? Then why were you following the common advice to include breakfast cereals such as All Bran, Fiber One, and Raisin Bran that, yes, are rich in fiber, but mostly rich in the cellulose fiber that is a constituent of wood? Cellulose fiber undoubtedly bulks up bowel movements, as humans lack the digestive apparatus to break it down. Likewise, very little cellulose is broken down by bowel flora. Cellulose therefore simply passes through, relatively inert, though suspected to yield a damaging abrasive effect on the delicate...

Global Life Expectancy Has Risen by Six Years Since 1990
This study confirms other work that shows the ballpark growth in life expectancy at birth is something like one year with every four calendar years. Adult life expectancy is also climbing, but more slowly - perhaps one year each decade. This present pace will change as the research community starts to deliberately target aging for treatment, which has not previously been the case. Past gains in life expectancy at age 30 or 60 due to improvements in medicine have been somewhat incidental, side-effects rather than deliberately obtained results. Global life expectancy for both sexes increased from 65.3 years in 1990, to 71.5...

Leading from the Front to the Last
I rarely write obituaries, because once you start where do you stop? Perhaps a hundred and fifty thousand lives are lost every day, most due to aging and its consequences, and it isn't just the few people you happened to exchange emails with who are worthy of notice. Yet monuments are at root a selfish undertaking on behalf of the living, and we can easily bury ourselves in mourning and symbolism. Ultimately one has to ask: is this an initiative about death or is this an initiative about life? The world has too many thinly disguised death cults. Cruelly, even after yet another individual in one's personal circle of vision ...
