In this study, we tested the hypothesis that periodontal disease (PD) as a source of infection alters inflammatory activation and Aβ phagocytosis by the microglial cells. Experimental PD was induced using ligatures in C57BL/6 mice for 1, 10, 20, and 30 days to assess the progression of PD. Animals without ligatures were used as controls. Ligature placement caused progressive periodontal disease and bone resorption that was already significant on day 1 post-ligation and continued to increase until day 30. The severity of periodontal disease increased the frequency of activated microglia in the brains on day 30 by 36...

Study Uncovers: Brushing Teeth Twice Daily Reduces Heart Disease Risk
Conclusion The study came full circle, offering an emphatic conclusion. While a morning brush is a good start, brushing before bedtime takes the crown when it comes to preventing heart diseases. The act of brushing your teeth, so mundane yet so essential, emerges as a key soldier in the battle against heart disease. The findings beckon us to look at our toothbrushes differently – as tools of preventative care rather than just instruments of oral hygiene. The message is clear – taking care of our teeth could mean taking care of our hearts. After all, our health, as this study suggests, is a...

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 ...

A gastric bypass might help some people bypass cancer
In an exciting recent study, researchers found that for adults with obesity, weight loss through bariatric surgery lowered their risk of cancer by 35% and reduced their risk of cancer-related death by 43%. This was true of both gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgeries, and the results were observed ten years after patients’ procedures. This Read more… A gastric bypass might help some people bypass cancer originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

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...

From MARC Student to MacArthur Fellow
Dr. Víctor J. Torres. Credit: Keenan Lacey, Ph.D. “I study the dance between a bacterium and its host. If we can decode the secrets of that dance—how the pathogen causes disease, and how the host fights back—we might be able to take advantage of vulnerabilities to improve our ability to combat infections,” says Víctor J. Torres, Ph.D., the C. V. Starr Professor of Microbiology at the New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine in New York City. Discovering and Pursuing a Passion for Science Growing up, Dr. Torres never would have imagined his highly successful scientific career, especially sinc...

The (sort of, partial) Father mRNA Vaccines Who Now Spreads Vaccine Misinformation (Part 1)
By DAVID WARMFLASH, MD Robert W. Malone, MD MS, is a physician-scientist who will live in infamy, thanks to the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast boosting his visibility this past December regarding his criticism of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly the mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech). Subsequently, Malone was banned from Twitter, which further boosted his celebrity status. Describing himself as the inventor of mRNA vaccine technology, he has been reaching a growing number of people with a narrative that makes COVID-19 vaccination sound scary. We cannot embed clips from the Rogan interview, which lasted about three...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 27th 2021
We report that whereas microglia are characterized by marked gene-level alterations related to negative regulation of protein phosphorylation and phagocytic vesicles, astrocytes show activation of enzyme- or peptidase-inhibitor signaling after detectable changes in BBB permeability. We also identify several genes enriched in these pathways that are notably altered after BBB breakdown. Our data reveal that microglia and astrocytes play an active role in maintaining BBB stabilization and corralling infiltrating cells, and thus might potentially function in ameliorating the lesions and neurologic disabilities in CNS diseases....

In conclusion, in less common and visible cardiovascular diseases, it is crucial to recognize substantial progress and achievement, given that penetration of such information into clinical practice and the patient community can be inconsistent. Diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and ATTR cardiac amyloidosis, once linked to a uniformly adverse prognosis, are now associated with the opportunity for patients to experience satisfactory quality of life and extended longevity.

Digital Health Interests Of Pharma Giants Boehringer Ingelheim, Takeda, Astrazeneca, Amgen And Roche
With their extending reaches, resources and influence, pharmaceutical heavyweights have the potential to shape the digital health landscape to line up with their interests. And to have a better picture of where those interests lie, it is worth taking a look at what moves pharma giants are making in this sphere. With this in mind, we started a series of articles focusing on the digital health efforts of 14 global pharma companies.  The first article explored developments coming from Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Bayer and Novartis, while the second article investigated those coming from Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, AbbV...

How to Plan and Carry Out a Simple Self-Experiment, a Single Person Trial of Khavinson Peptides for Thymic Regrowth
The objective here is to produce doses of the peptides dissolved in 0.5 ml of phosphate buffered saline in sealed vials, ready to be used with the injection system, with as little contamination as possible from the environment, and stored a freezer until it is ready to use. Depending on the size of the vial, it might be able to contain doses for multiple injections, but it is better to stick to one dose per vial. Peptides are sensitive to free-thaw cycles, so you want as few of those as possible. When ordering epitalon, thymogen, and vilon, they will arrive as lyophilized (freeze-dried) crystals or powder. Thymogen ...
