One Day I ’ll Fly Away, COVID Permitting
With Fall in full swing, many of us are asking “when will I begin to live my life again?” Life involves traveling, yet 2020 was the worst year in tourism history, with 1 billion fewer international arrivals than 2019. And now, after an optimistic summer, travel bookings for Labor Day were down 15% from 2019, indicating that the Delta variant dissuades people from traveling. Still, getting away is a human need, and an economic need. In a recent press release, the U.S. Travel Association urges everyone to vaccinate, for their own protection, and “to help put us on the p...

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.

Genetic Variants Associated with Visceral Fat Accumulation Correlate with Longevity
It is well established that excess visceral fat is harmful. This tissue is metabolically active, and generates increased chronic inflammation through numerous mechanisms: a greater number of senescent cells; signaling by fat cells that appears similar to that produced by infected cells; increased debris from dead and dying fat cells that provokes the immune system. Overweight and obese people have a shorter life expectancy, greater incidence of age-related disease, and higher lifetime medical costs, with these disadvantages increasing with a larger burden of visceral fat tissue. It is not surprising, therefore, to find tha...

Extending Life Without Extending Health: Vast Effort Directed to the Wrong Goals
It is very hard to coax a damaged machine into continued operation without repairing the damage. It is expensive and time-consuming, the machine works poorly, and fails catastrophically only a little later than it would have done without all of that effort. Keeping damaged machines running is exactly the goal of near all work on treating age-related disease, however. Very few projects are focused on addressing the cell and tissue damage that causes aging. Anything other than repairing or otherwise reversing that damage will produce only marginal gains, at great expense. This has been well demonstrated. With the best...

Borrowing Concepts from Particle Physics to Better Frame the Mechanisms of Aging
An interesting idea is put forward in this open access paper, aimed at producing a greater and more useful unity of thought about the processes of aging. It is certainly the case that the field lacks a common conceptual foundation to build upon when it comes to working towards a better understanding of the mechanisms of aging. Hence the many theories of aging, focusing on quite different areas of molecular biology and evolutionary biology, and the persistent debate over whether aging is an evolved epigenetic program of late life dysfunction (the minority position), or an accumulation of damage that falls outside selection ...

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...

A woman in her 60s with palpitations, chest discomfort, and multiple misdiagnoses by both EM and Cardiology!!
 Written by Pendell MeyersA woman in her 60s was shopping when she suddenly experienced palpitations and chest " discomfort. " She denied outright chest pain or dyspnea. She walked across to the street to my Emergency Department. She had no known prior history of dysrhythmias or heart disease, but had known hypertension, breast cancer, diabetes, and obesity. She has had episodes of palpitations in the past, followed by holter monitor workups which did not reveal any cause of palpitations. However, her symptoms today feel worse than prior episodes, and she has never felt the " chest discomfort " with prior palpitations...

In conclusion, inhibiting the lysosomal oxidation of LDL in atherosclerotic lesions by antioxidants targeted at lysosomes causes the regression of atherosclerosis and improves liver and muscle characteristics in mice and might be a promising novel therapy for atherosclerosis in patients. NANOG Expression versus Cellular Senescence https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/09/nanog-expression-versus-cellular-senescence/ Are there many strategies that can reverse cellular senescence? There are certainly strategies that can lower levels of cellular senescence over time, both in cell cultures and in living an...

A Man With Sudden Onset of Gastroparesis
By HANS DUVEFELT Leo Dufour is not a diabetic. He is in his mid 50s, a light smoker with hypertension and a known hiatal hernia. He has had occasional heartburn and has taken famotidine for a few years along with his blood pressure and cholesterol pills. Over the past few months, he started to experience a lot more heartburn, belching and bloating. Adding pantoprazole did nothing for him. I referred him to a local surgeon who did an upper endoscopy. This did not reveal much, except some retained food in his stomach. A gastric emptying study showed severe gastroparesis. The surgeon offered him a trial of metoclopra...

The Future of Digital Therapeutics: Prescribing Apps, Sensors and A.I.
Digital health, digital pills, digital therapeutics… With the ‘digital’ suffix being increasingly used in the digital health industry, the meaning behind some terms might not be so evident at a glance. For instance, one might think that ‘digital therapeutics’ and ‘digital pills’ are interchangeable terms; but they are in fact totally different digital health tools. While we discussed digital pills in depth last year, we have yet to talk about digital therapeutics. And this is exactly what we have set out to do with this article; as the latter might very well be a viable option in your future treatment. ...

In this study, mature DCs (mDCs), generated from the GM-CSF and IL-4 induced bone marrow cells, were intravenously injected into wild-type mice. Three days later, assays showed that the mDCs were indeed able to return to the thymus. Homing DCs have been mainly reported to deplete thymocytes and induce tolerance. However, medullary TECs (mTECs) play a crucial role in inducing immune tolerance. Thus, we evaluated whether the mDCs homing into the thymus led to TECs depletion. We cocultured mDCs with mTEC1 cells and found that the mDCs induced the apoptosis and inhibited the proliferation of mTEC1 cells. These effects were onl...

In conclusion, patients over 90 years of age had an overall low prevalence of fractures and relative preservation of bone health, suggesting a preserved bone molecular profile in these individuals. Epigenetic factors and activity levels might also have favorably affected bone health. The low percentage of osteoporosis and fractures likely reduced the morbidity and mortality in this population, potentially contributing to their overall longevity.
