Healthcare IT is Changing, Fast
The following is a guest article by Tim Bowe, CEO at Full Spectrum Throughout the past few decades, we have seen cycles within the healthcare information systems space related to the pressure associated with changing technologies, but that pressure is now greater than ever before.  There is currently an explosion of technology and regulatory changes that are just beginning to impact the industry. The educational topics at this year’s HIMSS conference shed light on some of those new pressures: AI and ML, Digital Health Transformation, Cybersecurity, and Data Science in Healthcare Information, just to name a few.

Why It Is Important To Understand Multimodal Large Language Models In Healthcare  
The future of medicine is undoubtedly inextricably linked to the development of artificial intelligence (AI). Although this revolution has been brewing for years, the past few months marked a major change, as algorithms finally moved out of the specialized labs and into our daily lives.  The public debut of Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT which became the fastest-growing consumer application of all time, has been a roaring success. LLMs are machine learning models trained on a vast amount of text data which enables them to understand and generate human-like text based on the patterns and structures they̵...

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. ...

Is Transfusion of Young Blood Essentially a Form of Extracellular Vesicle Therapy?
In this study, we examined the effect of young serum on the cognitive performance of aged mice. We show that repeated infusions with small volumes of young serum significantly improved age-associated memory deficits and this effect was abrogated after the serum was depleted of circulating EVs. RNA-seq analysis of choroid plexus demonstrated effects on genes involved in barrier function and trans-barrier transport. Interestingly, the hippocampal transcriptome demonstrated a significant upregulation of Klotho (Kl) gene, which codes for the longevity protein Klotho, following young serum treatment. Notably this effect was abr...

“ System-ness ” : the key to successful health care transformation
Value-based health care, the holy grail of American medicine, has three parts: excellent clinical quality, convenient access, and affordability for all. And as with the holy grail of medieval legend, the quest for value-based care has been filled with failure. In the 20th century, U.S. medical groups and hospital systems could — at best — Read more… “System-ness”: the key to successful health care transformation originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

A Discussion of Current Approaches Under Development for the Treatment of Aging
This open access paper tours a number of the present approaches under development to the treatment of aging as a medical condition, dwelling the most on therapies targeting senescent cells, either for destruction or to suppress the harmful senescence-associated secretory phenotype. We live in an exciting time of great potential, an age of accelerating progress in the capabilities of medical biotechnology, though it remains the case that too few people realize just how close we are to the widespread use of the first practical rejuvenation therapies. Aging poses one of the greatest challenges for modern medicine, as...

The Cost of Cardiovascular Disease
Age-related disease places a huge financial burden on individuals and their caregivers; even the need for caregivers arises only because aging produces disability. Even only considering cardiovascular disease, the largest contribution to human mortality, the costs are enormous. This is a point often made by advocates arguing for greater institutional funding of ways to treat aging. Present levels of funding for research and development of means to reduce age-related disease are very low in comparison to the massive ongoing costs that result from age-related disease. It makes little sense for this to be the case in an age o...

In conclusion, although the contribution of CRF to GrimAgeAccel and FitAgeAccel is relatively low compared to lifestyle-related factors such as smoking, the results suggest that the maintenance of CRF is associated with delayed biological ageing in older men. « Back to Top Release of Acetylcholine is Necessary for the Aging Brain to Compensate for a Lack of Neurogenesis https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/09/release-of-acetylcholine-is-necessary-for-the-aging-brain-to-compensate-for-a-lack-of-neurogenesis/ Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are created by neural stem ce...

Hospital as a river: Navigating uncertainty and empathy
The hospital is like a river. Patients float downstream into our care, stay in sight for a moment, and leave after we have done everything we can to help them. Regardless of why they arrive or how long they stay, every person in the hospital will always leave, whether for recovery, rehabilitation, transfer, or death.
