Fecal Microbiota Transplant Treatment Approved by the FDA
The balance of microbial populations making up the gut microbiome changes with age in ways that produce harm, such as loss of beneficial metabolites, and generation of chronic inflammation. This form of aging is only loosely connected to age-related damage in our tissues, in that animal studies appear to show that a readjustment of the balance of populations in the gut microbiome of an aged animal, making it more youthful, will persist even as aging progresses in the body. In killifish, the result is improved health and extended life span; in mice, similar studies have demonstrated improved health, with lifespan studies ye...

Carotid Artery Stiffness Correlates with Age-Related Damage and Dysfunction in the Brain
We examined the associations of carotid artery stiffness with cerebral small-vessel disease markers, cognition, and dementia subtypes in a memory clinic cohort. A total of 272 participants underwent carotid ultrasonography, brain magnetic resonance imaging, and neuropsychological assessment. Carotid ultrasonography was used to assess β-index, pressure-strain elastic modulus, and pulse-wave velocity-β.
Brain magnetic resonance images were graded for cerebral small-vessel disease markers, including white matter hyperintensities, lacunes, and cerebral microbleeds. Participants were classified as having no cognitive i...

People are strange
I couldn ' t really find any explanation in U.S. media of the ideology or objectives of the organization that was the subject of a mass bust in Germany yesterday. They ' ve been called " far right extremists, " and in the German context you might jump to the conclusion that they are neo-Nazis, but this doesn ' t seem exactly to be the case. I found what I expect is the most coherent explanation we ' re likely to get from theInstitute for Strategic Dialogue. Apparently some neo-Nazis have latched onto it but they ' re a minority of participants.In fact members of the " Reichsb ürger " movement (which just means citizens of...

Digital Transformation Must Be at the Core of Healthcare Organizations
The following is a guest article by Nutan B, Pharma consulting partner at Gramener.
Advanced analytics, IoT (internet of things) devices, sensors, and the ability to process large volumes of data have rapidly progressed and can deliver step changes in efficiency, quality, and responsiveness in healthcare business processes.
While innovative startup organizations are experimenting with these technologies, large, established pharma organizations are still resistant to this change. There are various reasons why the healthcare and life sciences industry has embraced digital transformation cautiously.
For starters, organization...

My Trial of the New Abbott Freestyle Libre 3
There are many compelling features on the new Abbott Freestyle Libre 3 and I may decide to switch; but I may wish to first try the new Dexcom G7 once it ' s FDA-approved. But I won ' t wait forever...In my 15 years of writing this blog, one thing I have never done is something I occasionally see some younger, less-discerning members of the blogging community do: which is to pimp their blogs (and themselves) out to receive free so-called " blog-ola " . I ' ve been blogging since 2005, and I have never endorsed a product in order to get free things, nor have I ever used my blog to even solicit free stuff from companies which...

Diamond and Dybvig and the Panic of 1907
George SelginMy last post argued that, despite whatDiamond and Dybvig ' s famous theory suggests, bank runs have seldom proven fatal to otherwise sound banks. Instead, when people run on a bank, it ' s usually because it ' s already in hot water.In response to that post, a Twitter correspondent wondered whether the Panic of 1907 —the proximate cause of the reform efforts culminating in the Fed ' s establishment —was an exception to my claim, and therefore evidence of the inherent vulnerability of fractional reserve banking. The gist of my two-tweet reply was that it wasn ' t. But since 560 characters hardly allowed me ...

7 things I ’ve learned after 12 years of private relationship-based direct care in Canada
I’m a hand surgeon. After six years of academic practice, I opted out of the public and universal health care system my country is famous for to create the first private hand surgery practice in Montreal, Canada. That was 12 years ago. Opting out of the system means that I do not get any payment

What Biden Has Gotten Right on Immigration
David J. BierPresident Biden ’s handling of immigration is the subject of intense scrutiny and criticism from all sides. Much of this criticism is right, but the president has also implemented many positive policies. While it often acted too slowly and has much more to do, the new administration has already reversed the most important restrictionist policies imposed by the Trump administration.Major Big Picture ActionsEnding the “security” travel bansOn January 20, 2021, President Bidenfully rescinded President Trump ’s ban on immigration and certain travel for nationals of Iran, North Korea, Somalia, Libya, Syria,...

American Health Care Consumers Should Have Access to Drugs and Devices Benefitting People in Other Developed Countries
Jeffrey A. SingerSwiss Medtech, a trade association representing the medical technology industry, issued a press release on November 28 praising the Swiss Parliament for enacting legislation allowing Swiss health care providers and patients to access medical devices approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Until now, the Swiss government only permitted patients and doctors to access devices that have a CE Marking, which indicates the device meets European Union standards, and the E.U. approves it for marketing among member states. The Swiss Parliament ’s action should expand access and increase p...

How much “ pain ed ” do people need? And what to do when someone is not convinced …
This post has been a long time coming. There’s no doubt that giving explanations about pain mechanisms is common, and that we’ve (health professionals) been doing it a looooong time. Yes, way back to the 1970’s! In the early 1980’s when I started working in this field it was already commonplace to offer people an explanation for chronic pain (and to explain why some pains are such pains, while others bother us less – even when they involve the same degree of nociceptive input). Of course, way back then we used Gate Control Theory (GCT) to explain the distinction between hurt and harm, to explo...
