“The Greatest Scientist of All Time” says Scientific American. Who is it?
BY MIKE MAGEE When it comes to our earthly survival as a human species, words are often under-powered and off-the-mark. Clearer concepts, definitions and terms are required for clarity. Here are five terms that are useful and worth remembering: Planetary Boundaries Earth Systems Human Perturbations Planetary Scale Destabilization Holocene Epoch vs. Anthropogenic Epoch  These terms all tie back to a single source – a child of World War II, only seven when his home in Amsterdam was overrun by Nazis. His father was a waiter, his mother a cook in a local hospital. He’d later recall with a sh...

Judge for yourself the management of this patient with " NSTEMI, multivessel disease "
DISCUSSION:The administration of opioid analgesia prior to cath in patients with concern for ACS is associated with longer door-to-balloon times, and greater peak troponin levels. The rate of Occlusion MI in those who received pre-cath opioids was double the rate of those without pre-cath opioids, and STEMI(-) OMI patients who received pre-cath opioids waited 10 hours on average longer to get cath than those who did not received opioids. These results add support to our hypothesis that a major mechanism of harm caused by opioid medications in ACS patients involves delays to the cath lab for patients with STEMI(-) OMI.=====...

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...

New variant of COVID-19
A new variant is not a new thing, of course, but BA.2.86, known also as Pirola, seems to be causing some concern in the UK and elsewhere.  It seems a long time ago that I compiled page after page on this blog about COVID-19.  Those pages are still there, hopefully all labelled to make it clear they are no longer being updated.I wondered if a few resources on this new variant would be useful.  In case I am right, here are some.  I don ' t know how long this one will be useful for, but will try to keep it updated.  A PubMed search for BA.2.86 finds a few.  Adding Pi...

The next bumper sticker: political science
 As usual, Ramaswamy ' s glib slogans aren ' t self-explanatory, but I think we can figure out what he ' s pretending to be thinking about with this one:There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.One would guess that this is a reference to the bullshit concept of the " Deep State. " What that actually means is of course the career civil service -- federal employees who don ' t get replaced wholesale every time the party in power changes, and who have legal protections to make sure that doesn ' t happen. Sometimes it also includes the military. (Sometimes it ' s the Deep State that ' s persecuting Ronald...

DNA Damage and Consequent Inflammation in Heart Failure
One of the ways in which cell damage characteristic of aging can provoke inflammation is via the mislocalization of DNA. Either nuclear DNA or mitochondrial DNA can find its way to the cytosol, where it can trigger responses evolved to detect bacterial or viral infection, or severe cell damage. This creates a cascade of downstream signaling leading to an inflammatory response. In youth these events occur comparatively rarely, and in circumstances wherein immune response and potentially even cell death are beneficial. With age, however, there is a continued mild but growing level of dysfunction and consequent sustained infl...
