Onco-cardiology, or Cardio-oncology
I was at a Cardiology Education Meeting where a case was presented of a patient receiving a monoclonal antibody for melanoma, who may have then developed myocarditis.Onco-cardiology (or cardio-oncology) is the study of the cardiac effects of cancer treatment but also used to refer to patients who are cancer survivors with a cardiac condition or people living with both conditions.Though not a new term, I don ' t remember coming across it before.  Here is some introductory reading:Some recent freely available articles (with links to PubMed):Cardio-Oncology: An Update on Cardiotoxicity of Cancer-Related Treatme...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 3rd 2017
In conclusion, the analyses do not permit us to predict the trajectory that maximum lifespans will follow in the future, and hence provide no support for their central claim that the maximum lifespan of humans is "fixed and subject to natural constraints". This is largely a product of the limited data available for analysis, owing to the challenges inherent in collecting and verifying the lifespans of extremely long-lived individuals. A reply from Jan Vijg's research group The authors of the accompanying comment disagree with our finding of a limit to human lifespan. Although we thank them for alerting us...

Ideological Blinders
Here ' s Eduardo Porter in the NYT giving an overview of why universal coverage is worth it from the societal perspective. It shouldn ' t take wonkery to establish that, but apparently it does.If you will look up at my banner, you will see that I have already known for some time that health care in the U.S. of A. istoo expensive. You don ' t actually need to tell me that. Funny thing though -- it ' s a lot less expensive in all those communist totalitarian dungeons in Europe and the Great White North that provide universal coverage to everybody. In fact, the U.S. government spends as much on health care as the British gove...

Is store brand mouthwash as good as name brands? Episode 153
This study was published in Cell Regeneration Journal and it shows that stem cells from urine could be grown into tiny tooth-like structures. The researchers are from China and hope that someday their technique could be used to replace lost teeth. Of course not everyone agrees with this approach. One stem cell researcher noted that that “that goal faces many challenges.” No kidding. But seriously, there are other, richer, sources of stem cells than urine so this seems like an odd choice. Regardless, just in case this catches on I’ve begun designing companion products to go with urine teeth the first product I’ll be...

How does Tresemme Beauty-Full Volume Reverse Wash haircare system work? Episode 151
This study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology says that citrus products contain psoralens and fur-O-coumarins which can stimulate certain cancers when they’re exposed to light. The study looked at the diets of over 100,000 people over the course of 4 years. After controlling for other factors, the melanoma risk was found to by 36% higher in people who ate citrus fruits more than 1.5 times per day. So I’m sure it won’t be long before some enterprising beauty company starts selling sunscreen in the produce aisle of the grocery store. Millennials aren’t buying soap bars Link Remember back in the early ...

Foracare TN ' G Voice Meter: Great Option for PWD ' s With Visual Impairments (others, too!)
I pretty much limit my diabetes blogging these days, except when I think there ' s something REALLY important or unique to share, although much of what I began with now has several nonprofits and organizations to advance the issues. Most of my diabetes-related stuff these days can be found on my Twitter feed, which is updated pretty much daily. Still, when I need more space to share information, this blog is still where I turn.As I last blogged a few weeks ago (seehttp://goo.gl/mi5nEm for my post), I was very sorry when my good friend Kitty Castellini passed away, not from diabetes or diabetes-related issues, but...

Can I Tap That?
Part 1 of a Series   How often do you come in contact with a patient whose chief complaint is knee pain? How often can you actually to do something about it? Collectively as emergency providers, we do not typically fix these types of injuries in the ED, and at times, it is not even certain if we actually diagnose knee pain properly. The truth of the matter is simply that we can diagnose it correctly, help our patients feel better, and give them some answers.   Frequently, traumatic knee pain can be diagnosed as a contusion, generalized strain, or sprain. Rest, ice, compression, elevation, and NSAIDS are often presc...

The UV index and cancer incidence
Originally developed by Canadian scientists, theUV index is now a standard measurement of UV radiation that reaches the earth's surface. It is an open-ended linear scale, meaning that there is no upper limit and that, for example, a 4 on the UV index is twice as much radiation compared to when the UV index is 2. The purpose of the UV index is to enable informed choices about sun protection/avoidance as per the recommendations in the chart. In fact the UV index is weighted more heavily for wavelengths in the UV spectrum that cause more skin damage. It is therefore not a pure measurement of the quantity of radiation but a di...
