He was a healthy 36-year-old paramedic with a loving wife and an adorable little boy. Jim loved his job. The rush, the adrenaline, the blaring lights through downtown hurrying to get to the major hospital. Cardiac arrests, gunshot wounds, tragic auto accidents, respiratory arrests, CPR, compressions, starting IVs. Speaking to the ER physician en route […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

CRAZY AMERICA: Health Insurance Covers Testing When You Are Well But Not When You Are Sick
By HANS DUVEFELT
Insurance is the wrong word for what we have here. Our private health insurance system’s prioritization of sometimes frivolous screenings but non-coverage for common illnesses and emergencies is a travesty and an insult to typical American middle class families.
State Medicaid insurance for the underemployed has minimal copays of just a few dollars for doctor visits and medications. From my vantage point as a physician, it is the best insurance a patient can have. They cover almost everything and it is clear to me how to apply for exceptions or follow their step care requirements. I cannot...

Some Risky Behavior Might Be Necessary for Your Elder ’s Mental Health
Dear Carol: My dad, 72, has been adventurous all his life and that spirit doesn’t seem to be dampened by aging or even some health problems. He’s always loved snow skiing though thankfully he settles for just cross-country skiing on our flat trails. He still wants to ride his bike in all seasons except winter, and that scares me to death. He says this is healthy. Yes, but what if he falls doing these things? How do I convince him that he’s risking life and limb with the way he lives? His brain seems to be working fine so I’m limited in how much I can intervene, but I live in fear that he will have a te...

Lose the Stigma About Incontinence: Even Young People Can be Affected
Dear Carol: I’m only 29, but I am incontinent and will probably remain like this unless there’s some medical miracle. Nerve injuries from a car accident are what caused my problem, but I’ve met other younger people online and in support groups and they have the same complaint that I do. Practically everything that you read about adult incontinence refers to older people with prostate problems, or menopause, or dementia – or whatever. Young people would like to see this condition normalized to some extent. We are not less competent in any way just because we need to use incontinence products. Can you please spread t...

Noncitizens Don ’t Illegally Vote in Detectable Numbers
Alex NowrastehOne of the most frequent and less serious criticisms that comes across my desk is that immigration is bad because non ‐citizens vote illegally in such large numbers that sway elections. A newreport by James D. Agresti, pushed by somenews outlets, argues that the number of noncitizens who illegally voted in 2020 substantially increased Biden ’s vote share but did not affect the outcome of the election. It has been illegal for non‐citizens to vote for federal elected officialssince 1996, so these noncitizen voters would all be breaking federal law. Is the Agresti paper reliable? Are large numbe...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, November 9th 2020
In this study, young adult mice were submitted to endurance exercise training and the function, differentiation, and metabolic characteristics of satellite cells were investigated in vivo and in vitro.
We found that injured muscles from endurance-exercised mice display improved regenerative capacity, demonstrated through higher densities of newly formed myofibres compared with controls (evidenced by an increase in embryonic myosin heavy chain expression), as well as lower inflammation (evidenced by quantifying CD68-marked macrophages), and reduced fibrosis. Enhanced myogenic function was accompanied by an increased ...

SENS Research Foundation 2020 Year End Fundraiser: Donate to Fund the Foundational Science Needed for New Rejuvenation Therapies
We live in the early, formative years of the era of rejuvenation, in which medicine will target the mechanisms of aging, increasingly effectively as the years pass, in order to make the old physiologically young once again. The first, crude rejuvenation therapies worthy of the name are under development or already available to the adventurous. These are senolytic treatments that selectively destroy the accumulated senescent cells that contribute to aging. Senescent cells produce chronic inflammation, tissue dysfunction, and age-related disease. By removing even just a third to a half of senescent cells in just some tissues...
