Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 10th 2017
This article covers some of the advances of recent years in understanding the effects of varied forms of calorie restriction in humans. Efforts to quantify the results and find a good 80/20 point, at which most of the effects of longer and more stringent reductions in calorie intake are still evident, have resulted in practical outcomes. A number of quite interesting discoveries have been made along the way, such as the ability of longer fasting periods to clear out and replace damaged immune cells to some degree. The second phase of the Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (C...

Engineering New Bile Ducts to Treat Failing Liver Function
Researchers have recently demonstrated the ability to transplant seeded scaffolds in order to engineer the growth of new bile duct structures in mice. The engineered bile ducts became functional - not exactly the same as a natural bile duct, but close enough to perform the same tasks. This approach, once mature, has the potential to restore liver function in conditions involving bile duct failure. Researchers have grown 3D cellular structures which, once transplanted into mice, developed into normal, functioning bile ducts. Bile ducts are long, tube-like structures that carry bile, which is secreted by the liver a...

Flourish Magnetic Device for Non-Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Atresia
The FDA is now allowing the introduction of Cook Medical‘s Flourish Pediatric Esophageal Atresia Anastomosis device as a non-surgical option for treatment of esophageal atresia, a birth defect in which the esophagus is not connected to the stomach due to a poorly formed esophagus. Two catheters with magnetic tips are positioned at the ends of the disconnected esophagus, one delivered transorally and the other via a gastric catheter through the stomach. The magnetic tips pull at each other and eventually push through the tissue to have the catheters meet each other. The child’s natural ability to heal allows th...

How to Build Better Metrics: Focus on Physician Outcomes
By NIRAN AL-AGBA, MD Quality measures began as tools to quantify the healthcare process, using outcomes, patient perceptions, and organizational structures associated with the provision of high-quality health care. Overall, the goals should focus on delivery of care that is effective, safe, efficient, and equitable.  Did you notice a particular word missing?  Yes, I missed the word physician too, because they have been left out of the conversation entirely. Measuring quality healthcare by a patient lab result is like recording a patient’s temperature by waving the thermometer near their face.  One has little to do wit...

Where does Bronchial veins drain ?
One casual question in my class led to this search for an anatomical mystery. When we were discussing  why left atrial oxygen saturation never reaches 100 % ? ,  it was attributed to desaturated  bronchial venous blood  draining  into pulmonary vein. How does this bronchial vein enter pulmonary venous circulation ? How many bronchial veins are there ? What  anatomical plane it runs   ? Surprisingly, even in this hi-tech era of academic excess, literature is sparse for this basic anatomical question. It is reported (In Greys anatomy ? ) Bronchial veins are two in number and both drain to Azygos and Hemiazygos veins (...
