Is lactose intolerance really SIBO?
Evidence is growing demonstrating that intolerance to lactose is really just yet another manifestation of SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
In a small Australian study, for instance, of 10 elderly people with lactose intolerance, 90% had SIBO (by lactulose H2 breath testing); eradication of SIBO reversed lactose intolerance in all initially SIBO-positive participants. Likewise, in an Italian study, lactose intolerance was associated with SIBO; eradication of SIBO resulted in most people being freed from lactose (as well as fructose and sorbitol) intolerance.
It is part of the disruption of the digestive process ...

The Macro View – Health, Economics, and Politics and the Big Picture. What I Am Watching Here And Abroad.
July 4, 2019 Edition.-----Well it looks like the world has survived the G20 meeting in Osaka with Trump and Xi agreeing to start working again on a trade agreement and a few concessions from both sides to calm and smooth the way. What happens with the Koreas will be interesting, but thus far it looks like a fizzer. July 4 with tanks is a bit of a change and many Americans are not impressed. Trump's damage to the global economy is a real worry and now South Korea / Japan are fighting the 1940's war about "comfort women" yet again. More damage to world trade..Brexit continues to be an absolute swamp!Mr Morrison has had a goo...

Podcast: Family on the Run: A Story of Delusional Disorder
When Pauline Dakin was 10 years old, her mother took the family into hiding to escape imminent danger. Fifteen years later, Pauline was told that they were on the run from the mafia.
At first, accepting of this explanation, Pauline’s doubts grew until she could no longer deny the truth: that there was no danger and she was being misled. Join us as Pauline shares how she came to this heartbreaking conclusion.

The best medical AI research (that you probably haven ’t heard of)
In this study, they performed invasive medical procedures on patients because of the output of an AI system.
Before you get all “of course they did, it was China, something something safety standards”**, I want to be clear – they did exactly what needs to be done to show that a system is safe. After you do your performance testing and get promising results, you need to actually test what happens in practice. This is right. This is good.
A colonoscopy AI in a clinic doesn’t just make a visual decision. It (with the endoscopist) decides who needs a biopsy. If your testing doesn’t include actually doing the bi...

Digital Skin Care: Top 8 Dermatology Apps
Each year 2-3 million non-melanoma and 132,000
melanoma skin cancers occur globally according to statistics from the
WHO. Thus, every tool has to be deployed for early detection and
intervention. As smartphone penetration already reached the quarter of the
Earth’s population, smartphone apps seem to be a viable way to go against skin
conditions. Here, we collected the top dermatology apps to aid your digital
skin care.
As smartphones take over the world, dermatology apps
multiply
As technology continues to advance, so too does its
accessibility to the general population. In 2013, only 56 percent of Americans
owned ...

Amazing Organisms and the Lessons They Can Teach Us
What do you have in common with rodents, birds, and reptiles? A lot more than you might think. These creatures have organs and body systems very similar to our own: a skeleton, digestive tract, brain, nervous system, heart, network of blood vessels, and more. Even so-called “simple” organisms such as insects and worms use essentially the same genetic and molecular pathways we do. Studying these organisms provides a deeper understanding of human biology in health and disease, and makes possible new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions.
Historically, scientists have relied on a few key organ...

The Ethics Of AI Is Receiving A Lot Of Attention. This Seems Like A Good Place To Start.
This appeared last week:AI systems should be accountable, explainable, and unbiased, says EUThe European Union has published new guidelines on developing ethical AI By James Vincent Apr 8, 2019, 12:03pm EDT The European Union today published a set of guidelines on how companies and governments should develop ethical applications of artificial intelligence. These rules aren ’t like Isaac Asimov’s “Three Laws of Robotics.” They don’t offer a snappy, moral framework that will help us control murderous robots. Instead, they address the murky and diffuse problems that will affect society as we integrate AI into sector...

Why Is the USA Only the 35th Healthiest Country in the World?
By ETIENNE DEFFARGES
According the 2019 Bloomberg Healthiest Country Index, the U.S. ranks 35th out of 169 countries. Even though we are the 11th wealthiest country in the world, we are behind pretty much all developed economies in terms of health. In the Americas, not just Canada (16th) but also Cuba (30th), Chile and Costa Rica (tied for 33rd) rank ahead of us in this Bloomberg study.
To answer this layered question, we need to look at the top ranked countries in the Bloomberg Index: From first to 12th, they are Spain; Italy; Iceland; Japan; Switzerland; Sweden; Australia; Singapore; Norway; Israel; Luxe...

The Most Pressing Issues In Bioethics
Who owns medical and genetic data? How to regulate gene editing? Where is the boundary of enhancing physical or cognitive human capabilities? What to do with biological differences widening the gap of the haves and have-nots? Could we define where is the boundary to augment life? Will we sue robots or algorithms for medical malpractice? With the constant advancement of technology, unprecedented moral, ethical and legal concerns are surfacing. Channeling them into substantial debates will get us closer to their fair solution step by step. Here, we collected the most pressing issues in bioethics.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, March 25th 2019
This study defines a new clinically relevant concept of T-cell senescence-mediated inflammatory responses in the pathophysiology of abnormal glucose homeostasis. We also found that T-cell senescence is associated with systemic inflammation and alters hepatic glucose homeostasis. The rational modulation of T-cell senescence would be a promising avenue for the treatment or prevention of diabetes.

David Sinclair on the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research
The Academy for Health and Lifespan Research was recently announced, an initiative analogous to that of the long-running Longevity Dividend group, but hopefully more energetic and more focused on at least some rejuvenation biotechnologies such as senolytic therapies. The principals include many of the researchers now involved in startup biotech companies working on ways to intervene in the mechanisms of aging, and the goal is to generate greater support for development of means to slow or reverse aging and age-related disease. David Sinclair is associated with Life Biosciences and its collection of portfolio companies, and...

Microfluidic Device Separates Circulating Tumor Cells by Size to Help Spot Cancer
Tumors tend to shed cells that travel down the bloodstream, spreading the disease wherever they end up landing. Though these circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the reason that cancers metastasize to distant places in the body, they’re also a g...

Request for Startups in the Rejuvenation Biotechnology Space, 2019 Edition
I am a little late with the 2019 list of projects in rejuvenation biotechnology that I'd like to see startups tackling sometime soon. In my defense, this year I have a startup of my own to keep up with, and the first part of 2019 was a wall to wall series of conferences alternating between the US and Europe. It continues to be the case that this is a new industry of near endless potential, yet little of that potential is under active development. This is the state of affairs despite the arrival of hundreds of millions of dollars in venture funds managed by the like of Juvenescence, Life Biosciences, and so on. The research...
