How Could Digital Technology Make An Impact On Primary Care?
I truly hope that very soon I do not have to make an appointment at the GP when I suspect signs of a disease, but my GP will send me a message that she spotted something irregular in my latest test results and my digital health data, so I’d better visit. Let me show you in detail how primary care should be carried out in the future! Digital health should become an organic part of primary care in the future I live a fairly healthy life. I use data to improve my lifestyle and to make better decisions by optimising my sleep pattern, my physical, my cognitive or my emotional abilities; and I had several genetic tests....

Beyond the Scale: How organizations should evaluate the success of obesity management solutions
Conclusion Organizations have much to consider when evaluating obesity solutions for their population. It’s easy to be swayed by simple metrics that seem indisputable. But, in the end, outcomes like 5% weight loss and reductions in HbA1c for the majority of an eligible population are what counts. Sustainable outcomes rely on real behavior change, a careful step-therapy approach to medication, and personalized care when it comes to social determinants of health.

In conclusion, the longevity-associated genotype of FLT1 may confer increased lifespan by protecting against mortality risk posed by hypertension. We suggest that FLT1 expression in individuals with longevity genotype boosts vascular endothelial resilience mechanisms to counteract hypertension-related stress in vital organs and tissues.

Myocardial Insulin Resistance
Myocardial insulin resistance is said to occur in about 60% of patients with type 2 diabestes mellitus and is associated with higher cardiovascular risk compared to those with insulin sensitive myocardium [1]. It is  known that systemic insulin resistance is an independent risk factor for heart failure and cardiovascular death [2]. Myocardial insulin resistance occuring along with systemic insulin resistance is characterized by ineffecient energy metabolism and contributes to post ischemic heart failure. Myocardial insulin resistance can also be caused by myocardial hypertrophy, independent of systemic insulin resist...

This study also provides the potential for de novo generation of complex organs in vivo. T Cells May Play a Role in the Brain Inflammation Characteristic of Neurodegenerative Conditions https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/03/t-cells-may-play-a-role-in-the-brain-inflammation-characteristic-of-neurodegenerative-conditions/ Alzheimer's disease, and other forms of neurodegenerative condition, are characterized by chronic inflammation in brain tissue. Unresolved inflammatory signaling is disruptive of tissue structure and function. Here, researchers provide evidence for T cells to become involved in this...

How IoT Medical Devices Save and Improve Lives
The following is a guest article by Erik Kling, Interim Head of IoT Americas at Vodafone Business. IoT, or the Internet of Things, has transformed our homes with connected lights and smart appliances. It’s also revolutionized all areas of business, including manufacturing. Sensors connected to the internet can track goods throughout the supply chain — from sourcing materials to delivering completed products to consumers. IoT technology has improved the way we live, but its most profound impact may be in healthcare, where it’s saving lives and improving health. Before IoT revolutionized healthcare, doctors and care pr...

This study showed a negative relationship between the gaps and the number of senescence cells. Moreover, we found a similar reduction in 30-month-old naturally and 7-month-old D-gal-induced aging rats. Given these consistent data from different eukaryotic organisms, it suggests that the Youth-DNA-GAP is a marker of phenotype-related aging degree Towards Scaffold-Based Regeneration of Dental Pulp https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/06/towards-scaffold-based-regeneration-of-dental-pulp/ Researchers are working towards the ability to regenerate the dental pulp inside teeth.

Another deadly and confusing ECG. Are you still one of the many people who will be fooled by this ECG, or do you recognize it instantly?
Submitted and written byDestiny Folk MD, peer reviewed by Meyers, Smith, Grauer, McLarenA man in his early 30s with no significant past medical history was brought to the ED by EMS after being found unresponsive by a friend. EMS arrived and found him awake and alert. He complained of generalized weakness and left lower extremity numbness. He reported that 12 hours prior to arrival he used fentanyl and cocaine. He reported difficulty walking and felt as if his left leg was “asleep.” He denied any chest pain or shortness of breath and stated he felt at his baseline yesterday prior to drug use. On arrival in the ED, he wa...

What Has A.I. In Medicine Ever Done For Us? At Least 50 Things!
Remember Monty Python’s brilliant Life of Brian movie scene where the Judean Jewish insurgent commando, planning the abduction of Pilate’s wife in return for all the horrors they had to endure from the Roman Empire, asks the rhetorical question: what have the Romans ever done for us? With the hype and overmarketing, not to speak about the fears around A.I, we asked the same question. What has A.I. in medicine ever done for us? Well, we found at least 50 things. I have 50 responses to the pressing question on everyone’s mind who is interested in healthcare but tired of the hype or the doomsday scenarios around A.I....

Acute respiratory distress: Correct interpretation of the initial and serial ECG findings, with aggressive management, might have saved his life.
 Written by Pendell Meyers with edits by SmithA man in his 60s called EMS apparently for shortness of breath. EMS found him in distress and hypoxemic requiring 4 L nasal cannula to maintain oxygen saturation greater than 93%.Here is his triage ECG:What do you think?An old ECG was available on file, from 2 years ago:RBBB, otherwise normal.The triage ECG is diagnostic of life threatening hyperkalemia (sodium channel blockade would also produce this pattern, but the patient was not known to be on any sodium blocking medications). There is the very common brugada pattern STEMI mimic seen in V1 and partially in V3 and aVR....

What are these ST elevations, ST depressions, and tall T waves diagnostic of?
 Written by Pendell MeyersLet ' s see this presentation ECG without any context first (no baseline ECG was available)What do you think? What will you do?The ECG is diagnostic of severe hyperkalemia. There is sinus tachycardia, the beginning of QRS widening, tall pointy peaked T waves with little area compared to their height. There is STE in V1-V3, aVR, and aVL, with STD in II, III, aVF, V4-V6. The appearance in V1 is similar to the Brugada morphology (as is often the case in hyperkalemia and Na channel blocker effects causing STE). Together these ST elevations in the right precordial leads and aVL are classic pseudoS...

Health effects of partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils
Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils contain trans fatty acids which are different from the natural fatty acids in vegetable oils and animal fat [1]. Fatty acids in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are 14 cis and trans isomers of octadecenoic and octadecadienoic acids that are formed during hydrogenation. Trans fatty acids cause inflammation and calcification of arterial walls. They also inhibit cyclooxygenase needed for conversion of arachidonic acid to prostacyclin, a compound beneficial for the vascular tree. There are reformulations of hydrogenated fat containing the essential fatty acid linoleic acid which get...

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.

Correlative Adventures with COVID
By ANISH KOKA “The patient in room 1 should be a quick one, its an addon, they just need a prescription for ivermectin” I’m a bit puzzled by this sentence from my assistant doing his best to help me through a very busy day in the clinic that I’m already behind in. I walk into the room, a script pad stuffed into my hand as I enter the room, to meet a very nice couple.  The wife sits patiently with hands crossed on the exam table.  “So, you’re here for Ivermectin?”, I ask. Why yes, a trip to Texas is planned.. COVID is in the air, the internet, and some important people who have ‘inside ...
