The Fable of the Cats
George SelginThe comparison has by now been made so often that it may qualify as a  platitude. I mean that between stablecoin issuers and “wildcat” banks, the fly‐​by‐​night scams that supposedly flooded the antebellum United States with notes nominally worth some stated amount of gold or silver, but actually worth little more than the rag paper they were made of.Such disreputable stuff, we keep hearing, is what “private” currency always tends to be like. The paper sort survived until federal authorities nationalized the nation’s paper money during the Civil War. And (we are told), digital currency will...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 14th 2021
In conclusion, a number of high-income countries, changes in health expectancies over time have not kept pace with the growth in life expectancy. That is, people are living longer but disability and poor health are occupying an increasing proportion of later life. Our findings suggest that countries still need to make significant progress to achieve the WHO's Decade of Healthy Ageing goal of healthier, longer lives for all.

There is No One Universal Pro-Longevity Gut Microbiome
Evidence suggests that the gut microbiome is influential on long-term health and late life mortality, to perhaps a similar degree as exercise. The various populations of microbial life found in the gut change with age; microbes producing beneficial metabolites are lost, while microbes that provoke chronic inflammation or other issues increase in number. Experiments in short-lived species have shown that transplanting a youthful microbiome into an older individual results in improved health and extended life span. In principle, similar effects could be achieved by some sort of intensive oral probiotic treatment, but that ha...

In conclusion, iMSC-sEVs could rejuvenate the senescence of NPCs and attenuate the development of IVDD. Cell Signaling via Exosomes in the Development of Vascular Calcification https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/05/cell-signaling-via-exosomes-in-the-development-of-vascular-calcification/ Vascular calcification is a feature of aging, a process in which cells in the blood vessel wall take on inappropriate identities and activities that are more appropriate to bone tissue. Evidence of recent years implicates chronic inflammation and the presence of senescent cells in this process. Senescent cells caus...

The Technological Future Of Surgery
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” This quote by Arthur C. Clarke pretty much sums up the future of surgery. It offers fantastic cooperation between humans and technology, which could elevate the level of precision and efficiency of surgeries so high we have never seen before. A.I., surgical robots, 3D printing and new imaging methods are already used on a wide scale of procedures. But there’s much more to the future of surgery than that.  Today only 3% of surgical procedures are performed by robots, although 15% of all operations used robotic support or assistance in the ...

On Med Mal Reform, Democrats Are More Libertarian than Republicans
Michael F. CannonIn a  recentpost, I  announced the release of and provided excerpts from Cato’s latest health policy book,Medical Malpractice Litigation: How It Works, Why Tort Reform Hasn ’t Helped, by Bernard S. Black,David A. Hyman, Myungho S. Paik, William M. Sage, andCharles Silver (foreword by former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle).Medical Malpractice Litigationcompiles original research from states that capped damages in “med mal” cases to show that such reforms do not have the effects that physicians and other supporters claim. If anything, damage caps benefit physicians and insurance companies at th...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 12th 2021
In conclusion, the MR exhibited the protective effects against age-related behavioral disorders, which could be partly explained by activating circulating FGF21 and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, and consequently suppressing the neuroinflammation and oxidative damages. These results demonstrate that FGF21 can be used as a potential nutritional factor in dietary restriction-based strategies for improving cognition associated with neurodegeneration disorders.

A New Model Suggests a Higher Burden of Death Due to Particulate Air Pollution
This study demonstrates that the fossil fuel component of PM2.5 contributes a large mortality burden. The steeper concentration-response function slope at lower concentrations leads to larger estimates than previously found in Europe and North America, and the slower drop-off in slope at higher concentrations results in larger estimates in Asia.

Nanoparticles On My Mind
By KIM BELLARD Nanoparticles are everywhere!  By that I mean, of course, that there seems to be a lot of news about them lately, particularly in regard to health and healthcare.   But, of course, literally they could be anywhere and everywhere, which helps account for their potential, and their potential danger. Let’s start with one of the more startling developments: a team at the University of Miami’s College of Engineering, led by Professor Sakhrat Khizroev, believes it has figured out a way to use nanoparticles to “talk” to the brain without wires or implants.  They use “a novel clas...

When Technology, Policy, and the Urgency to Change Converge
Our new book,The Digital Reconstruction of Healthcare, is about to be published by Taylor and Francis, as part of its HIMSS book series. We wanted to give readers a preview of what ’s to come so we are posting the Preface of the book ahead of time.In our last two books, we began the conversation discussing the power of words, including misdiagnosis, cynicism, and optimism.1,2In this book, our focus is onreconstruction, and all its implications for healthcare. To some, it might suggest the tearing down of an existing structure, a complete replacement of the healthcare ecosystem as we know it. Neither of us believe that ...

As One Licensed NC Physician To Another Unlicensed One (Dr. Mary Johnson to Dr. Mandy Cohen/NC DHHS Secretary): PROTECT MEDICAL WHISTLEBLOWERS NOW!
Related to mylast post - which went up (after much soul-searching and trepidation) on 2/28/20201 one of the biggest complaints (coming largely from folks reading on mobile phones) was that the post was " so long " .  They wanted something more " concise " . The post relates my own horrific pandemic experience with Central Carolina Hospital/ApolloMD and Duke Lifepoint in Sanford, North Carolina.  It ' s my third dance as a medical whistle-blower in 23 years.  And much like the first two cases (Asheboro in 1998, and ETSU/Ballad Health in 2017), it ' s really NOT " soundbite " material (it would ...

A North Carolina Pediatric Hospitalist Tells Her Pandemic Story to Senator Richard Burr: Thirteen Months (And Counting) In Medical Whistle-blower Hell - Courtesy Of Private Equity/For-Profit Healthcare And Cruelly-Indifferent/Morally-Bankrupt State & Federal Oversight
Author ' s Note:  I cannot " sound-bite " the last year - and perhaps it ' s time to write the book. Scroll about half-way down to read the letter to Senator Burr.  The bottom line is that for thethird time in 23 years, as a Pediatrician staffing a community hospital, I was fired " with-out cause " immediately after intervening in a neonatal ( " bad baby " ) case, rescuing the situation/ " saving " the baby, and reporting it INTERNALLY to Peer Review.  NO discussion.  NO recourse.  NO review.  A total cover-up.  And EVERY SINGLE TIME I ' ve asked the state/Federal government to enfor...

New Cato Research on Immigration and Espionage
Alex NowrastehCato released my newpolicy analysis about espionage and immigration. It is the culmination of many months worth of original research to meticulously document and quantify every espionage and espionage ‐​related criminal conviction in the United States from 1990–2019 – including those convicted of economic espionage, theft of trade secrets, and other related commercial crimes. Although my goal was to find each one, I undoubtedly missed a few, but the sample provided here is still large enough for analysis. Espionage is a serious issue that impacts American national security and that freq...

The Great Transformation
This is the title of a  book published in 1944 by the Hungarian-American political economist Karl Polanyi. It is widely considered to be an important work in political economy, so read it if you can.But the Wikipedia summary actually isn ' t bad. Polanyi addresses many of the problems and issues that concerned Karl Marx, but with 100 years of added perspective, including of course the experience of actually existing Communism. I ' m going to run a trick play here and quote from the Communist Manifesto, which was first published in 1848. (The wordsmithing was actually mostly by Friedrich Engels, who was a better commun...
