Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 11th 2022
In this study we employ a transcriptome-wide and multi-tissue approach to analyze the influence of both LTDR and short-term DR (STDR) at old age on the aging phenotype. We were able to characterize a common transcriptional gene network driving inflammaging in most of the analyzed tissues. This network is characterized by chromatin opening and upregulation in the transcription of innate immune system receptors and by activation of interferon signaling through interferon regulatory factors, inflammatory cytokines, and Stat1-mediated transcription. We also found that both DR interventions ameliorate this inflammaging phenotyp...

Cancer Survivors Exhibit a Significantly Higher Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
The dominant cancer therapies of chemotherapy and radiotherapy have not yet been replaced by immunotherapies for more than a handful of cancer types. These classes of therapy produce a significantly increased burden of senescent cells in patients; one of the goals of cancer therapy is to drive cancerous cells into senescence, those that cannot be killed. These additional senescent cells in turn accelerate the progression of degenerative aging. The advent of senolytic therapies to clear senescent cells from aged tissues will make a sizable difference to these patients. More effort should be undertaken today to enable patien...

Voting Republican is bad for your health
Literally. A study byWarraich HJ, Kumar P, Nasir K, Joynt Maddox KE, and Wadhera RK in BMJfinds this: There has actually been lots of previous research on this general question. As the authors note, " Previous studies have shown that counties that elect Republican candidates tend to experience worse health outcomes, such as fewer gains in life expectancy and increased rates of opioid prescription.56789, " so this is just further confirmation. As they summarize their fndings, " the mortality gap between white residents in Democratic versus Republican counties increased fourfold. Rural Republican count...

This study showed a negative relationship between the gaps and the number of senescence cells. Moreover, we found a similar reduction in 30-month-old naturally and 7-month-old D-gal-induced aging rats. Given these consistent data from different eukaryotic organisms, it suggests that the Youth-DNA-GAP is a marker of phenotype-related aging degree

We examined central genetic and environmental lifespan regulators (putative anti-aging interventions, PAAIs; the following PAAIs were examined: mTOR loss-of-function, loss-of-function in growth hormone signaling, dietary restriction) for a possible countering of the signs and symptoms of aging. Importantly, in our study design, we included young treated groups of animals, subjected to PAAIs prior to the onset of detectable age-dependent phenotypic change. In parallel to our studies in mice, we assessed genetic variants for their effects on age-sensitive phenotypes in humans.
We observed that, surprisingly, many PAAI...

In conclusion, our results suggest that SAH extends lifespan by inducing MetR or mimicking its downstream effects. Since the lifespan-extending effects of SAH are conserved in yeast and nematodes, and MetR extends the lifespan of many species, exposure to SAH is expected to have multiple benefits across evolutionary boundaries. Our findings offer the enticing possibility that in humans the benefits of a MetR diet can be achieved by promoting Met reduction with SAH. The use of endogenous metabolites, such as SAH, is considered safer than drugs and other substances, suggesting that it may be one of the most feasible ways to ...

An asymptomatic man in his 50s with heart rate in the 160s - what is the diagnosis? How will you manage this?
Written by Pendell MeyersA man in his late 50s with history of CAD with CABG, COPD, smoking, cirrhosis, and other comorbidities presented for an outpatient scheduled stress test which had been ordered for some exertional shortness of breath, palpitations, and presyncopal episodes over the past few months. When he presented to the office for the stress test, his screening vitals before any test or intervention were remarkable only for a heart rate of 160 bpm. He denied any symptoms whatsoever.A 12-lead ECG was performed in the office:What do you think?The ECG shows a wide complex regular monomorphic tachycardia. I mea...

Health Care Organizations Must Prioritize Cybersecurity Before Undergoing Digital Transformation
By TRAVIS GOOD
The health care industry is rapidly embracing new technologies. Covid-19 changed the way many industries operate, and healthcare is one industry that was particularly affected by the pandemic. Many health care organizations were already undergoing digital transformations, but Covid exponentially sped up those processes. Health care providers and health-tech companies were forced to adapt to the new normal and change the way they operate. Here are 3 major ways health care has changed in recent times.
1. Increased popularity of telehealth services:
Covid made telehealth appointments a necessity,...

In conclusion, we summarized here evidence for a novel therapeutic approach to exploit the incredible ability of mitochondria to engage multifaceted neuroprotective stress response triggered by partial complex I inhibition. This approach promises relief for multiple human conditions, and to promote healthy aging to delay the onset of neurogenerative diseases, AD in particular, where age is the greatest risk factor. There is a mounting body of evidence generated in model organisms and humans in support of the safety of chronic application of complex I inhibitors. However, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms i...

From “Eminence-based” to Evidence-based mental healthcare: Time to focus on quality and accountability
For the mental health crisis of care, quality is as much of a problem as quantity.
Most people who seek mental health care for the first time are baffled by how to find a clinician. I know what many parents felt. When my daughter, Lara, finished her first semester at Oberlin, she returned home to Atlanta thin and exhausted. I was excited to have her back home and entirely clueless about her desperate struggle with anorexia. In fact, as I learned later, she had been driven by obsessions about her weight and her appearance for over a year by that point. As was true of Amy, her perfectionism and her shame at not being perfect...

It ’s time to start approaching heart disease like breast cancer
Almost all of us know that October is breast cancer awareness month. Many of us also know that BRCA 1/2, the BReast CAncer genes, can increase a person’s chances of developing breast cancer. In fact, BRCA 1/2 is so well known that patients with a positive family history often seek genetic screening for it on their own accord.Read more …It’s time to start approaching heart disease like breast cancer originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

This study estimates that prescreening with a 500 blood test could reduce by half both the cost and the time it takes to enroll patients in clinical trials that use PET scans. Screening with blood tests alone could be completed in less than six months and cut costs by tenfold or more, the study finds. Known as Precivity AD, the commercial version of the test is marketed by C2N Diagnostics. The current study shows that the blood test remains highly accurate, even when performed in different labs following different protocols, and in different cohorts across three continents.
