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....

Vitamins and Wound Healing
Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves inflammation, tissue formation, and tissue remodeling. Vitamin supplements can play a role in wound healing by supporting various aspects of the body’s natural healing processes. Here are some key vitamins and minerals that are important for wound healing: Vitamin C: Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is essential for collagen synthesis, a protein that helps in the formation of skin, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Collagen is a crucial component of wound healing. Adequate vitamin C intake can promote tissue repair and reduce the risk of infectio...

Great Food Can Improve Brain Development (Even Before Birth)
What we eat – and what our kids eat – affects so much in life: appearance, energy, cognition, focus, mood, how often we get sick, how quickly we get better, how likely we are to develop a chronic disease, and how we age. Every bite of food is either an investment in our future, a new debt we are taking out, or some of both. There are many ways to enjoy the benefits of real food. One healthy way of eating that has been studied a lot is the Mediterranean diet, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, fish, herbs, spices, and olive oil. Red meats, processed foods, and added sugars are limited. ...

Let ’ s Start Over
BY KIM BELLARD When I first read the reports about some Silicon Valley billionaires wanting to start a new city, I figured, oh, it’s just a bunch of rich white guys wanting to take their toys and go to a new, better home. After all, they’ve seen what’s been happening to downtown San Francisco (or Portland, or Chicago – pick your preferred city).   Cities these days may be an what one expert calls an “urban doom loop” – struggling to recover after having been hollowed out by the pandemic. These so-called elites probably figured it’s easier to build something new rather than to try to fix what already ...

Upcoming Healthcare Regulations and Their Impact on Healthcare IT
For something as important and as sensitive as healthcare, there are plenty of rules and regulations in place to protect both patients and organizations. However, with healthcare being ever-evolving our regulations are also ever evolving. This can make it extremely difficult to not only follow all of the ones in place today but to prepare our organizations for the upcoming regulations. To help out, we reached out to our amazing Healthcare IT Today Community to see which healthcare regulations they foresee having a big impact on healthcare IT. The following is what they had to say. Stephen Sofoul, SVP, Data & Decision S...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 21st 2023
This study aimed to investigate the association between frailty index and circulating CAP2 concentration in 467 community-dwelling older adults (median age: 79; range: 65-92 years). The selected robust regression model showed that circulating CAP2 concentration was not associated with chronological age, as well as sex and education. However, circulating CAP2 concentration was significantly and inversely associated with the frailty index: a 0.1-unit increase in frailty index leads to ~0.5-point mean decrease in CAP2 concentration. Furthermore, mean CAP2 concentration was significantly lower in frail participants (i.e., fr...

Raised Remnant Cholesterol Level Correlates with Frailty
Remnant cholesterol refers to circulating cholesterol in the bloodstream that is not attached to LDL transport particles coming from the liver or HDL transport particles going to the liver. The remnant is attached to some mix of VLDL and IDL particles that serve much the same purpose as LDL particles, or incorporated into much larger chylomicron transporters that carry dietary lipids from the intestines throughout the body. Researchers have noted that remnant cholesterol appears to contribute to cardiovascular risk, speeding the progression of atherosclerosis and increasing the risk of stroke and heart attack. It is...

Is this important in aging? The evidence here shows the existence of the mechanism in a lower species, but that doesn't n...

Population Health Management: SDOH Challenges and Solutions
Conclusion SDOH data collection has its challenges. The first step is to convince organizations and policymakers of its utility and promise to offer whole-person care. Without SDOH, providers are only taking in a fraction of their patient’s health. Therefore, the dismissal of SDOH only widens health disparity gaps and fuels a cycle of reduced patient engagement.  However, the use of focused SDOH benchmarking, routine screening assessments, and robust analytics tools can help organizations take steps toward greater health equity. This gives each patient the potential to achieve and maintain optimal physical hea...

In conclusion, here, we demonstrate a novel mechanism for ESC-EVs to protect cells from senescence. However, whether ESC-EVs rejuvenate aged mice via miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p remains unknown. Next, we plan to use miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p antagonists while treating aged mice with ESC-EVs to further investigate the mechanism by which ESC-EVs resist aging in vivo. « Back to Top Fatty Acid Metabolism as a Commonality in Different Approaches to Slowing Aging https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/08/fatty-acid-metabolism-as-a-commonality-in-different-approaches-to-slowing-aging/ It seems...

Fatty Acid Metabolism as a Commonality in Different Approaches to Slowing Aging
In this study, we report systemic changes in the molecular regulation of biological processes under multiple lifespan-extending interventions, by jointly leveraging systems-level analyses on two mouse liver proteomic datasets, which were generated in the NIA Longevity Consortium, and a previously published mouse liver transcriptomic dataset. Differential Rank Conservation (DIRAC) analyses of mouse liver proteomics and transcriptomics data show that mechanistically distinct lifespan-extending interventions (acarbose, 17α-estradiol, rapamycin, and calorie restriction) generally tighten the regulation of biological modules. ...

IoMT – Helping Data Reach Its Full Potential
The importance of data in healthcare has been beaten into our heads again and again and again. Healthcare runs on data, all good decisions are backed by data, etc. I think we’re all on the same page about making sure our organizations have all of the healthcare and patient data we can get our hands on. But in repeating the simple message that data is important, we tend to leave out that even more important is the ability to properly manage it to make it accessible, especially with the sheer amount of data that healthcare organizations need to run properly. One tool that can help in this endeavor is the Internet of Me...

A Study Reveals The Impact Of Childhood TV Habits On Adult Blood Pressure
Conclusion In sum, monitoring and managing screen time is not just about today’s habits but a long-term investment in a child’s future health, particularly their blood pressure levels. The data linking childhood TV viewing to adult health problems like high blood pressure underscores the urgency of this matter. However, understanding is just the first step. From here, we must translate this knowledge into action – through parental control, societal initiatives, healthier dietary habits, and increased physical activity. But we must also remember that screen time isn’t all bad – the conten...
