The Macro View – Health, Economics, and Politics and the Big Picture. What I Am Watching Here And Abroad.
The objective most consistent with recent operations is to conquer Luhansk, Donetsk, and Kherson, with a view to their eventual annexation and Russification. But not only are they some way from achieving that (w ith much of Donetsk still in Ukrainian hands and the Russia position in Kherson highly contested) it would also require an explicit Ukrainian surrender for it to serve as the basis for a declaration of victory. That will not be forthcoming.-----https://www.afr.com/world/europe/how-britain-giggled-its-way-into-crisis-20220710-p5b0giHow Britain giggled its way into crisisBoris Johnson has exposed the costs of Britain...

Magnetic Microrobots to Brush and Floss Teeth
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a technique to manipulate magnetic microrobots into bristle and string shaped-structures that can brush and floss teeth. The iron oxide nanoparticle-based microrobots also activate hydrogen peroxide to release bacteria-killing free radicals to further target bacterial populations in the mouth. The technology may eventually be suitable for those with dexterity issues, or for lazy people, to take care of their oral hygiene.
So far, the researchers have shown that the microrobots can effectively remove biofilms from 3D printed replicas of human teeth and real te...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 20th 2022
This study showed a negative relationship between the gaps and the number of senescence cells. Moreover, we found a similar reduction in 30-month-old naturally and 7-month-old D-gal-induced aging rats. Given these consistent data from different eukaryotic organisms, it suggests that the Youth-DNA-GAP is a marker of phenotype-related aging degree

Towards Scaffold-Based Regeneration of Dental Pulp
Researchers are working towards the ability to regenerate the dental pulp inside teeth. Full regeneration of teeth has seemed perpetually on the verge of success for a decade or so now; it has been achieved as a proof of concept in rats, for example. Restoration of dental pulp is a more viable, less complex project, given the present state of research into the use of scaffolds to provoke regrowth.
Researchers have proposed an alternative to root canals in dentistry: restoring the lost tissue in the tooth cavity by inducing the body to regenerate it. Their goal is to develop a materials-based therapy that does not ...

3D printed digital contact lenses, bionic eye implants, augmented reality: the future of vision and eye care is full of science fiction-sounding innovations. Here is where digital health will take ophthalmology in the future!
More than 80 percent of perception comes through vision
Researchers estimate that 80-85 percent of our perception, learning, cognition, and activities are mediated through vision. Compared to that, our hearing only processes 11 percent of information, while smell 3.5 percent, touch 1.5 percent and taste 1 percent. Don’t you think that’s possible? Renowned scholars, L.D. Ros...

Key findings from Healthwatch England ’s national dental polling in 2022
Healthwatch England - A representative poll of 2,026 adults based in England on attitudes to NHS dentistry shows that half of the adults in England find dental charges unfair amid escalating living costs. Forty-one per cent of respondents said they found it difficult to book an NHS dental appointment, whilst one in five (20 per cent) couldn ’t access all the treatments they needed. Healthwatch England has warned decision-makers that NHS dentistry is in desperate need of reform.Key findingsPress release (Source: Health Management Specialist Library)

Hemostasis on Contact: Interview with Joe Landolina, CEO of Cresilon
Cresilon, a New York-based medtech company, specializes in developing hemostatic technology. Its co-founder and CEO, Joe Landolina, created a plant-based hemostatic gel that can stop bleeding very rapidly when applied to a wound. Landolin developed the gel when he was just seventeen, and has spent the years since building the company to bring it and similar technologies to market.
At present, Cresilon’s technology is sold under the name Vetigel for use by veterinarians for bleeds that occur during surgery or dental work, or those caused by trauma. However, the company has recently submitted the technology to the F...

Can A. I. Tutors Help Train Enough Medical Professionals?
By 2030, the global economy will have led to the creation of some 40 million new jobs in the health sector; mostly in middle- and high-income countries. Paradoxically, the WHO stresses that in parallel, the world will be short of up to 9.9 million physicians, nurses and midwives by that year. Moreover, the availability of healthcare workforce is unequally distributed, with some countries having 5 times more doctors than others; or, in some cases, 9 times as many nurses as others.
The imbalances and shortages are predicted to persist in the foreseeable future; with the WHO adding that even the increase in health workers ...
