Strategy and Tactics: Two Essential Keys to Success
I recently read Outlive by Peter Attia. It’s a book about longevity that I found insightful. It contains many lessons about different aspects of health.
However, what I’d like to share with you here isn’t the health lessons from the book. Instead, it’s a quote by Sun Tzu that I found there:
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
Interesting quote, isn’t it? Strategy without tactics might lead you to victory, but it’s the slowest route to get there. You will waste a lot of resources along the way. On the other hand, tactics without ...

Consciously Exploring Your Relationship with Drugs
Humanity has a complex, long-term relationship with a wide variety of drugs. In this article let’s delve into your personal relationship with drugs, how you frame them, and how you might upgrade these relationships to be more conscious and aligned with your path of self-development. Let’s include common drug sources like coffee, tea, and chocolate too, so this will be very inclusive.
My purpose here isn’t to encourage or discourage you from using any particular substances but rather to invite you to take a more conscious and honest look at your current frames, attitudes, biases, and behaviors, and dete...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 29th 2023
In this study, we used a Drosophila model to understand the role of the dec2P384R mutation on animal health and elucidate the mechanisms driving these physiological changes. We found that the expression of the mammalian dec2P384R transgene in fly sleep neurons was sufficient to mimic the short sleep phenotype observed in mammals. Remarkably, dec2P384Rmutants lived significantly longer with improved health despite sleeping less. In particular, dec2P384R mutants were more stress resistant and displayed improved mitochondrial fitness in flight muscles. Differential gene expression analyses went on to reveal several altered tr...

A Therapist ’s Reflection In the Face of a Patient’s Death
I sat in the funeral home and just stood back and observed. There was a montage of pictures. I had an opportunity to see him in his youth, when he got married, and when he was a single parent with two very young children. In these photos I got the chance to meet all the people he’s spoken about for over 15 years with me. There were actual faces to the people I have grown to know so intimately.
The thing that amazed me the most was that there were so many people present that it was standing room only. I wasn’t just imagining it, there were a plethora of people who seemed to really know and care about him. It was obvi...

Translating Pre-Medical Experiences into Clinical Skills
As a pre-medical student in college, it can be overwhelming deciding how to allocate your time outside of classes. A good first step is to try a variety of activities and to intently pursue those that fulfill you the most. While you should take into account admission requirements and experiences to maximize your competitiveness (i.e. clinical experiences, research, and volunteer service), the driving force for how you spend your free time should be where your passions lie. Ultimately, pursuing your passions will inherently make you a stronger (and more unique) applicant.
Now that I have finished my core requirements as ...

The New Deal and Recovery, Part 27: Deposit Insurance
ConclusionPart 27: Deposit Insurance_____________________[1] To this list we might add a fourth item, noted by Golembe in a subsequentinterview, to wit: that the deposit " insurance " provided for by the 1933 Banking Act wasn ' t really insurance at all. Unlike genuine insurance policies, it covers depositors for losses regardless of whether the losses were due to recklessness on their or their banks ' part. And unlike genuine insurance funds, the FDIC ' s insurance " fund " is an accounting fiction, the truth being that the " premiums " it collects from banks go into the federal government ' s general coffers. " The gover...

Taking Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) From Data to Analysis and Action
The following is a guest article by Diana Zuskov, MPH, Associate Vice President of Healthcare Strategy at LexisNexis® Risk Solutions.
SDoH Success Stories to Inspire Adoption and Action in Your Organization
Healthcare organizations are spending significant resources – time, money, and human capital – to address social determinants of health (SDoH) and health equity. Effective execution requires going upstream of the programming itself to understand the social determinants of a population.
According to Data Bridge Market Research, the U.S. SDoH market is growing with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.9% betw...

A man in his 50s with chest pain
Sent by anonymous, written by Pendell MeyersA man in his 50s with no prior known medical history presented to the Emergency Department with severe intermittent chest pain.

Students With Visual Impairments Empowered to Explore Chemistry Through SEPA Project

Students with blindness and low vision are often excluded from chemistry labs and offered few accessible representations of the subject’s imagery, which can significantly hinder their ability to learn about and participate in chemistry. Bryan Shaw, Ph.D., a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, hopes to change that through a program funded by an NIGMS Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA). His inspiration to start the program came from his son, who is visually i...

The New Deal and Recovery, Part 23: The Great Rapprochement
George SelginWhat finally brought the Great Depression to an end? We ' ve seen that, whatever it was, it took place not during the 30s but sometime between then and the end of World War II, when a remarkable postwar revival occurred instead of the renewed depression many feared. We ' ve also seen that, while postwar fiscal and monetary policies weren ' t austere to the point of preventing that revival, they alone can ' t explain it, because they can ' t explain the reawakening of private business investment from its decade-and-a-half-long slumber.Animal SpiritsTo get to the bottom of that reawakening, we must first recall ...

13 Year Old McAllen
BY IAN MORRISON
As a Scot, obviously I am a whisky fan, and although I prefer the smoky malts of Islay (where my grandfather was from and where I visit my friends there frequently), I am also a huge fan of McCallan 18-year-old whisky, the sticky toffee pudding of single malts.
But as all policy wonks know, McAllen Texas is not famous for whisky but for Atul Gawande’s “Cost Conundrum” article in the New Yorker, in 2009 which is still required reading in medical school and MPH classes and was arguably the cornerstone of Obama health policy and the ACO movement.
Dr. Atul Gawande described overutilization and hi...

Undisclosed Conflicts of Interest by Physicians Creating the CDC Opioid Prescribing Guidelines: An Epilogue
by Chad D. Kollas, MD, Beverly Schechtman and Carrie JudySeveral important developments have occurred since the publication of our article, “Undisclosed Conflicts of Interest by Physicians Creating the CDC Opioid Prescribing Guidelines: Bad Faith or Incompetence? ” in Pallimed on September 12, 2022 (1). Most notably, this includes the publication of the 2022 CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain (2), which updated the guidance previously provided by the 2016 CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain (3). In this epilogue, we will describe those important developments and examine ...

Our Plants Should Be Plants
BY KIM BELLARD
It seems like most of my healthcare Twitter buddies are enjoying themselves at HLTH2022, so I don’t suppose it much matters what I write about, because they’ll all be too busy to read it anyway. That’s too bad, because I was sparked by an article on one of my favorite topics: synthetic biology.
Elliot Hershberg, a Ph.D. geneticist who describes his mission as “to accelerate the Century of Biology,” has a great article on his Substack: Atoms are local. The key insight for me was his point that, while we’ve been recognizing the power of biology, we’ve been going about it ...

Sparking Rural Students ’ Interest in STEM
When asked why he leads the NIGMS-supported Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) program at Dartmouth College in Hannover, New Hampshire, Roger D. Sloboda, Ph.D., the Ira Allen Eastman Professor of Biological Sciences (emeritus), shares a story. Several years ago, he learned of a public-school science teacher in rural New Hampshire who had a very limited budget for classroom equipment. With her annual budget, she’d been able to buy a single stainless-steel laboratory cart. “Next year, I hope to buy a piece of equipment to put on it,” she said. A short time later, Dr. Sloboda attended a scientific meeting and ta...
