Rural America is a Fertile Field for Digital Health
BY ERIC LARSEN and TOMMY IBRAHIM Eric Larsen Tommy Ibrahim Our rural health care system has suffered badly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It entered the pandemic with severe structural weaknesses, including magnified health disparities and inequities, lower rates of vaccination in the general population, and high risk of rural hospital closures. Beginning with these challenges, rural providers have been harder hit by the pandemic than just about any other health care sector.  Juxtaposed against this struggle is the optimism for digital health – one of the few bright spots of the pandemic. We have witnessed ...

The Macro View – Health, Economics, and Politics and the Big Picture. What I Am Watching Here And Abroad.
August 04, 2022 Edition-----The war seems to grind on sadly and Pres. Biden is having a second round with COVID as unprecedented weather happens all over the US. It all feels rather like ‘the end of days’!In the UK we see an increasing chance of a third female PM being elected as the country seems to be struggling. We do need to remember however the UK remains a significant power with nuclear weapons and home-grown nuclear submarines!In OZ we have had last week working out how to progress the First Nations ‘Voice’ as we wrap up the 1st session of Parliament for the new Government. Comments welcome on how you think ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 1st 2022
In this study, we used the recently released Infinium Mouse Methylation BeadChip to compare such epigenetic modifications in C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2J (DBA) mice. We observed marked differences in age-associated DNA methylation in these commonly used inbred mouse strains, indicating that epigenetic clocks for one strain cannot be simply applied to other strains without further verification. Interestingly, the CpGs with highest age-correlation were still overlapping in B6 and DBA mice and included the genes Hsf4, Prima1, Aspa, and Wnt3a. Furthermore, Hsf4, Aspa, and Wnt3a revealed highly significant age-associated DNA methyla...

How to Relate to People With Low Truth Alignment
The first chapter of my book Personal Development for Smart People is called “Truth” because truth alignment is one of the fundamental principles of personal growth. In order to grow intelligently, we must face and accept reality in as many areas of life as we can. This often involves confronting and dealing with unpleasant truths that we’ve been avoiding for some time. If we don’t get aligned with truth, we slide into falsehoods and denial, which can slow us down tremendously. Have you seen the lack of truth alignment playing out in the world recently? It’s hard not to notice it these days...

Not good,In the UK the choosing the next PM is off and running as the country and Europe are cooling down after a heatwave (for them) of biblical proportions!In OZ Parliament is meeting which is when the rubber will really hit the road as a new virus wave runs out of control still!

Science Snippet: Lipids in the Limelight
This study could inform the advancement of new antibiotics.Developing new imaging technologies to track lipid droplet formation and breakdown in cancer cells. Understanding this phenomenon could shed light on why lipid droplets accumulate in these cells, which could aid in creating new therapies. Learn about other scientific terms with the NIGMS glossary.

mRNA Vaccines: From Tackling Pandemic To Treating Cancer
The story of the multi-decade uphill battle Katalin Karikó and her fellow researchers fought to prove messenger RNA can viably be used in medicine is widely known today. In just as little as two years, the world has learned about mRNA technology and how fast it can react when the need arises holding almost unlimited promises in future applications. As always is the case with “instant hits” in science, the ride was actually very long and bumpy, but more on that later.  What is mRNA? In very simple terms: messenger ribonucleic acids (or mRNAs in short) are the body’s natural way to transport messages from o...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 4th 2022
This study showed that centenarians had very specific changes in CD4+ T cell populations, which were manifested by an elevated Th17/Treg ratio in vivo, as well as a changed secretory phenotype. Although the T cells of centenarians cannot resist the aging-related expression of proinflammatory genes, their secretory phenotype was altered, explaining the relatively low level of inflammation in centenarians. These results suggested the presence of a mechanism to ameliorate inflammaging in centenarians. This may be achieved by reversing the imbalance of Th17/Treg cells and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Longevit...

Voting Republican is bad for your health
 Literally. A study byWarraich HJ, Kumar P, Nasir K, Joynt Maddox KE, and Wadhera RK in BMJfinds this:  There has actually been lots of previous research on this general question. As the authors note, " Previous studies have shown that counties that elect Republican candidates tend to experience worse health outcomes, such as fewer gains in life expectancy and increased rates of opioid prescription.56789, " so this is just further confirmation. As they summarize their fndings, " the mortality gap between white residents in Democratic versus Republican counties increased fourfold. Rural  Republican count...

Mirage of Health
My personal update is that I ' m recovering day by day, but it ' s taking a while. I get a little stronger, a little more stamina each day and I expect to get back to my previous full strength in time to put in a solid week of work starting Monday. Meanwhile a little down time isn ' t the worse thing that could have happened.I ' ve gotten some very odd comments which show that some people harbor very basic misunderstandings about heath, illness and medicine. As I have noted here many times, medical intervention was largely ineffective until the 20th Century. It has grown more effective over the past 100+ years, but you nee...

The immune system
It occurs to me that right now, a great deal of trouble results from public misunderstanding of the immune system. It would actually be impossible for most of the public to understand very much about the immune system because it is extremely complicated. It depends on elaborate correlation of literally dozens of different kinds of cells, along with complicated features of all other human cells and of pathogens. Understanding how all of this works further depends on fairly deep understanding of basic biology, which believe me very few people have.Into this immense gulf of ignorance wade opportunistic charlatans who want to ...
