23andMe Moving into Clinical Trial Recruitment, a Potential Source of New Income
I have been blogging about23andMe for about six years (see:Update on 23andMe; Time for a Review of FDA Definition of Medical Devices). During that time, I have seen the company evolve from the first major consumer genomics enterprise to a clinical laboratory authorized by the FDA to perform testing for ten diseases or conditions. These are the first direct-to-consumer (DTC) tests authorized by the FDA that provide information about an individual ’s genetic predisposition to certain medical diseases or conditions (see:FDA allows marketing of first direct-to-consumer tests that provide genetic risk information for ce...

Announcing GuideWell ’s Caring for Caregivers Challenge
SPONSORED POST
By CATALYST @ HEALTH 2.0
Caregivers who care for aging, ill and
disabled adult family members face a broad array of challenges within their
daily lives. These challenges include stress, burnout, financial burdens,
career sacrifices, sleep deprivation, depression, isolation, and lack of
privacy. GuideWell believes it
“takes a village” to sustainably support family caregivers, and that single
point solutions are typically not broad enough to provide comprehensive relief
to family caregivers.
GuideWell, in collaboration with Catalyst @ Health 2.0, is excited to
announce the Caring for Caregive...

Trump ' s Trade Policy So Far: Too Many Trade Wars, Very Little Trade Liberalization
This past week was an eventful one for trade policy, and not in a good way. In the trade world these days, no news is good news, and any tweets are probably bad news. President Trump ’s trade policy has been stridently protectionist, abusive of the constitutional separation of powers, destructive to U.S. alliances, and fundamentally flawed as a strategy to achieve its stated goals.Last week, President Trump was agitated by China ’s retaliatory tariffs (which were in response to tariffs previously imposed by the Trump administration), and in reaction to the Chinese retaliation,Trump announced on Twitter some retaliatio...

Being Lost and Found: How Being a Caregiver Shaped Me
As a palliative care physician, I often spend time with
patients and families talking about their hopes, worries, and sources of
strength. Part of this work involves helping people confront uncertainty in
what lies ahead and be able to hold opposing truths as they face serious
illness. You can feel the best you’ve felt in months and still be dying of
cancer. You may not be able to get out of bed and be completely dependent on
others, and still find joy in every day moments with your loved ones. I think
of caregiving in the same way. It is a hard, humbling, isolating adventure that
veers your life in a direction you didn...

Washington D.C. Progress in Implementing Medical Aid-in-Dying Act
Compassion & Choices today praised D.C. Health for
releasing two years of reports showing it is making progress in
implementing the D.C. Death with Dignity Act, despite repeated
congressional attempts to repeal the law since it took
effect on Feb. 18, 2017.
The D.C. Death with Dignity
Act
allows mentally capable, terminally ill adults with six months or less to live
to have the option to request a doctor’s prescription for medication they can
decide to take if their end-of-life suffering becomes unbearable, so they can
die peacefully in their sleep.
Eight states
currently allow medical aid in dying: California...

Podcast: Sandy Hook: Community Healing After a Large-Scale Trauma
Everyone remembers the disturbing images from the Sandy Hook school shooting in December 2012 after a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 first-grade children. It was traumatic for all of us, but what was it like to actually be a member of that community?
Today’s guest, Melissa Glaser, worked for 20 months as a coordinator for the Newtown Recovery and Resiliency Team, a group of mental health professionals, funded by a Department of Justice grant, who worked in partnership with local recovery providers, community organizations, and town employees to provide services to over 900 people immediately affecte...

Individuals and self-insured companies have adopted various strategies to reduce the rising cost of healthcare for themselves and their employees.

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...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 6th 2019
This study shows that mRNA levels of the aging related lamin A splice variant progerin, associated with premature aging in HGPS, were significantly upregulated in subjects with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. Moreover, our data revealed a significantly positive correlation of BMI with progerin mRNA. These data provide to our knowledge for the first-time evidence for a possible involvement of progerin in previously observed accelerated aging of overweight and obese individuals potentially limiting their longevity. Our results also showed that progerin mRNA was positively correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP). This might suggest an ass...

Kindness Counts: Here ’s Why
In this study, researchers used a single factorial design to compare kindness acts to the following: strong social ties, weak social ties, observing kindness acts, novel self-kindness acts, and a control of no acts. Results showed increased happiness over the seven-day study period; that the number of kind acts and happiness increases had a positive correlation; and the effect did not differ across all groups in the experiment.
The key takeaway is that research strongly suggests acts of kindness increase happiness to strong and weak ties, to self, and to observing acts of kindness.
