Global Science Report: Greenland ’s Resilience in the Face of Apocalyptic Hypotheses
Thirty years ago, NASA scientist James Hansen put greenhouse-effect warming on the map with his stridenttestimony indicating that global temperatures could then confidently be related to changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Two years ago, he made another prediction: several meters of sea level rise in this century. HetoldScientific American:Consequences [of climate change] include sea level rise of several meters, which we estimate would occur this century or at latest next century, if fossil fuel emissionscontinue at a high level. That would mean loss of all coastal cities, most of the world ’s large cities and all th...

The EBM Wars: Manufacturing Equipoise (Part 1)
By ANISH KOKA
The phone rings. It’s not supposed to be ringing. It’s 2 am. The voice on the other line is from an apologetic surgery resident.
Resident: There is this patient..
Me: Yes, go ahead. Please.
Resident: He’s tachycardic.
Me: How fast?
Resident: 160 ?
Me: What’s the blood pressure?
Resident: 130/90
Me: Rhythm?
Resident: An SVT I think.. I gave adenosine. Nothing happened
Me: Audibly groaning. I’ll be in..
Forty five minutes later I’m at the bedside of a decidedly ill appearing man.
I want to be triumphant that his heart rate is only 145, and a quick glance at the ...

Dander Still Up. Drowning in Great Dismal Swamp. Film at Eleven.
Maybe this is the last in my series of dander-raising essays, as recent national and world events have most definitely left so many of us with a raging case of TDS. (Trump Derangement Syndrome, look it up it ' s a thing).So many damned browser tabs open. So little time.Or maybe not. Who knows. Where are all these suicides coming from?My editor keeps telling me, " don ' t let it make you paralytic. " Hey, I ' m trying.Just sensing a kind of coalescence in all the corruption our bloggers keep writing about. How do we even differentiate these activities across so many sectors of society. We were going to see our swamp drained...

The Unknown Part of Anthony Bourdain
“Last time I saw all this, I think it’s fair to say, I was at a turning point in my life,” Anthony Bourdain says before embarking into the Borneo jungle. He was not afraid to discuss his long battle with substance use, an issue that millions of Americans struggle with.
In fact, recent data shows that annual deaths from opioid misuse have surpassed deaths by car accidents, guns, or breast cancer, highlighting an astoundingly dramatic increase in nationwide substance use disorders. 1, 2

Oisin Biotechnologies CSO John Lewis at Undoing Aging
Oisin Biotechnologies is one of a number of companies to have emerged from our community in recent years, from the network of supporters and researchers connected to the Methuselah Foundation and SENS Research Foundation. The Oisin principals are working with a platform capable of selectively destroying cells based on the internal expression of specific proteins. Their initial targets are senescent cells, one of the root causes of aging, and cancerous cells, one of the consequences of aging. They will be taking a therapy for cancer into clinical trials initially, as it is somewhat less challenging to move viable cancer tre...

Podcast: Diverse Diseases, Allied Advocates
Listen to part two of the episode recorded live on location at HealtheVoices 2018. (Part one was posted last week, so check it out if you haven’t, already.) In this continuation of the multi-advocate panel discussion, our panelists talk about the most difficult aspect of their advocacy and how they deal with it. They also address misconceptions and ignorance about their diseases, such as the difference between AIDS and HIV or IBD and IBS, the fact that lupus is not contagious, and that men can have breast cancer. To close out the episode, each panelist shares his/her thoughts on what advocates for different conditions ha...

Trump and Rx Drug Prices: Let the Games Begin
By STEVEN FINDLAY
President Trump is scheduled to deliver a major speech on drug prices today. This post is intended to start a dialogue on what he says and proposes.
It’s unclear whether Trump will provide specifics or whether those will be rolled out in coming weeks. As is always the case with Trump, there’s concern he’ll go off script despite apparent careful preparation of the speech.
The speech is reportedly going to coincide with an RFI from HHS on ways to restrain drug prices, building on ideas proposed in the administration’s fiscal 2019 budget request. That sounds like a delay tacti...

The Two-Fold Intimidation of Dr Bornstein, as Orchestrated by Donald Trump, Apparently to Conceal Something About Trump ' s Medical History
DiscussionAs noted above, we have seen many cases in which health care professionals were pressured to violate their core values and ethical norms by outside parties, most often large health care organizations seeking financial gain.Now, in this new case, we see a single health care professional twice pressured to violate core values and ethical norms by a patient, a wealthy billionaire corporate CEO who became President of the United States. Thus we are now in a situation in which the President of the US, to whom all federal health care regulatory and law enforcement agencies at least nominally report, has shown con...

Journalistic Views of Aging and Longevity Have Yet to Reach Maturity
While journalistic treatment of serious rejuvenation research has improved greatly over the past decade, the mainstream media remains decidedly childish at times. Much of the profession of journalism works hard at producing the appearance of educated folk paid to play the fool, writing for an imagined audience of inattentive, ignorant peers, while ensuring that their education slips through the mask just enough to be seen. It degrades the author and insults the world at large. Everyone in this picture is better than they are portrayed, capable of introspection and self-determination. I noted the article here because it vee...

Library Phishers
I just read the post “Silent Librarian: More to the Story of the Iranian Mabna Institute Indictment” and it was very eye opening. The United States Justice Department, FBI, New York FBI, and US Treasury announced charges against nine Iranians for conducting a huge cyber theft campaign. Prosecutors state the nine Iranians worked for the Mabna Institute and stole more than 30 terabytes of academic data and intellectual property from universities, companies, and governments around the world. That is roughly the equivalent to 8 billion double sided pages.
There were more than 750 phishing attacks identified t...

BioethicsTV: (March 9-14): Mary Kills People; The Good Doctor; The Resident
by Craig Klugman, Ph.D.
Mary Kills People (Season 2; Episode 1): Helping the healthy to die
This season picks up where the last season left off, with Desmond in prison and Mary carrying on helping people die. In many ways, this show has lost its edge since assisted suicide is now legal in California (where the show appears to take place) and Canada (since we see Mary with a Canadian passport). Desmond quickly is paroled and Mary brings him on a case.…

The War on Opioids Has Become a War on Patients
As Anne Fuqua recentlypointed out in the Washington Post, non-medical drug users accessing heroin and fentanyl in the underground drug market are not the only victims in the opioid crisis. Many patients whose only relief from a life sentence of torturing pain are also victims. That is because policymakers continue to base their strategies on the misguided and simplistic notion that the opioid overdose crisis impacting the US,Canada, andEurope, is tied to doctors prescribing opioids to their patients in pain.Unfortunately, political leaders and the media operate in an echo chamber, reinforcing the notion that cutting back o...

New Treatment for Breast Cancer Could Help Some Women Avoid Surgery
Most women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer typically have surgery to remove the tumor, followed by three to six weeks of radiation. But there’s an exciting new development in breast cancer treatment – a first-of-its kind radiation therapy system for early stage cancers that may cut the number of treatments to only a few days.
And, one day, the inventors say, it might even eliminate the need for surgery altogether for some patients.
It’s called the GammaPod, invented by scientists at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently cleared the way for the Gam...
