Senomorphic Development to Reduce the Senescence Associated Secretory Phenotype
The burden of cellular senescence increases with age, perhaps largely because the immune system becomes less able to remove senescent cells in a timely fashion. Lingering senescent cells are significantly harmful even when making up one percent or less of all cells in a tissues. This is because cells in a senescent state vigorously generate a mix of pro-growth, pro-inflammatory signals, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The SASP changes cell behavior for the worse, encourages chronic inflammation, and induces nearby cells to also become senescent. This is actively disruptive to tissue function, and cont...

Iranian doctors ’ bravery: Upholding medical ethics amidst oppression
According to Sir William Osler, “The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business …” This calling inherently involves sacrifices. How many of us would sacrifice our freedom, livelihood, or even lives for this calling as the clinicians in Iran have been doing? Iranian doctors demonstrated their bravery in Read more… Iranian doctors’ bravery: Upholding medical ethics amidst oppression originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Developing Therapies to Treat Aging is No Less Challenging than Other Areas of Biotech
The biotech industry experiences a high failure rate, if we wish to define failure as failing to achieve the original goals of the research program that gave rise to a company. The article noted here opens with many examples to give a sense of the prevalence of companies in the early aging-focused space that altered their course to give a return to their investors by other means, after it proved too challenging to achieve the original vision. This is par for the course: the development of novel medical biotechnology is both very difficult and highly regulated. The grail of producing new medicine that is accepted by the reg...

Patient respect in medicine: Ensuring well-being and trust
Treating patients with respect and dignity is essential to the medical profession. This is true even when the patient lies unconscious in the operating room. It seems unnecessary to stress the importance of creating a secure and comfortable environment to ease the patient’s anxiety and stress and develop confidence. Respect is also crucial to promote Read more… Patient respect in medicine: Ensuring well-being and trust originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Rochester Regional Health is Achieving Interoperability One Practical Byte at a Time
Rochester Regional Health is using a measured and practical approach to data interoperability. They have focused their efforts on data that clinicians want to use, that fits their workflow, and can be seamlessly incorporated into their Epic system. They started with lab data and this integration, on its own, is having a positive impact on patient care. Healthcare IT Today sat down with Erik Jacob, Director of Interoperability at Rochester Regional Health (RRH) and Charlie Harp, CEO at Clinical Architecture to discuss how a practical, measured approach to interoperability is preferable to a tsunami of data. Starting Simple ...

Sustainable Healthcare: Reducing the Energy Burden and Environmental Impact of Caregiving
The following is a guest article by Steve Lazer, Global Healthcare and Life Sciences CTO at Dell Technologies Healthcare services play a vital role in enhancing human well-being, but it’s essential to recognize that they also leave an environmental footprint contributing to environment-related health threats.  According to a report from the environmental advocacy group Health Care Without Harm, the U.S. healthcare industry is responsible for 7.6 percent of the nation’s total “climate footprint.” While this might seem like a relatively low number, when we are talking about working towards a net ze...

How Cuff Size Impacts Blood Pressure Measurement Accuracy – The Study
Conclusion The journey through the nuances of blood pressure measurements unveils a pivotal lesson: individuality matters. The convenience of a one-size-fits-all approach, while appealing, may not stand up to the rigorous demands of health accuracy. Each person’s uniqueness, from their arm size to their health conditions, necessitates a tailored approach, especially when it comes to something as vital as blood pressure readings. Yet, the responsibility doesn’t just lie with the medical professionals. As readers, as individuals, there’s a clarion call for proactivity. Being informed, asking quest...

Slowing Loss of Motor Function by Inhibiting VPS-34 in the Neuromuscular Junction
In this study, we designed a fast and efficient genome-wide screening assay in C. elegans to systematically identify potential regulators of motor aging. Among the top hits, we functionally validated the role of VPS-34 in regulating motor aging and revealed its cell type-specific mechanisms. VPS-34 is the class III phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase that phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol (PI) to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI(3)P), regulating motor function in aged but not young worms. Contrary to popular belief that life span and health span are strongly correlated, the global increase of life expectancy over th...

Globalization and occupation therapy - a continued musing.
I have been talking about the implications of globalization on the occupational therapy profession for quite some time - it started off withblog posts here and then apresentation at OT24VX in 2015.  Then I gave the topic a whole chapter inmy theory textbook in 2019.  Then there were more blog postshereandhere.In sum, I am uncertain if occupational therapy is a unitary global profession, although I now add this caveat:at least as understood in the publications of academics. I add this caveat now because I am uncertain if the things that people in academia write about truly reflects actual practice in oth...
