The Advantages, Challenges, and Costs of Healthcare at Home Services
Switching to fully remote operations during the pandemic was a rushed adventure into what was mostly uncharted territory. There were a lot of challenges and bugs to work out, but there were also plenty of advantages and unforeseen benefits. And it is thanks to those advantages and benefits that healthcare at home is continuing, even as there are still challenges to work on and in-person operations return. While our first big push into remote care was a leap into the unknown, this time we want to make sure that we are surveying the landscape to make this a safe, smart, and financially responsible decision.
So let’s ta...

Reviewing the Path Towards Reprogramming as a Basis for Rejuvenation Therapies
In conclusion, while partial reprogramming holds great therapeutic potential, the real focus should be on rejuvenation research, defining its nature and ways to quantify it. Another critical issue is the ability to quantify biological age as reprogrammed older cells acquire younger states. Understanding rejuvenation is also key to translational success, as benefits of age reversal must be considered against risks. More research into safety and tissue-specific responses of this technique are required. (Source: Fight Aging!)

It is literally possible to be a woman in medicine! We are doing it every day.
I love America Ferrara’s monologue in Barbie. Similarly, the impossibility of being a woman in medicine, as so clearly stated in Dr. Jennifer Lycette’s recent essay in KevinMD, absolutely resonates with me. And yet, let’s not forget that in 2021, two of five practicing physicians were women, with certain fields including (my own) dermatology, internal medicine, and pediatrics having a

Psychodermatology: A skin-brain axis exists, so what are you doing about it?
Skin and mental health are intertwined. This is evident embryologically, as we know that the skin and brain are derived from ectoderm, forming a skin-brain axis. Furthermore, scientific pathophysiology has shown that conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis are directly influenced by mood. Whether you are a patient, a provider, or an aesthetics

What is the correlation between number of doctors in a society & health of population ?
This query is lingering ever since I entered the medical profession. Though, this question might appear absurd , no correct answer is found yet .When we search the literature, the relationship between doctors and health can be 1.linear, 2.non linear, and 3. even inverse . 1 & 2 are ok 3 is forbidden.
However, to put it in a nut-shell, healthiness of a society is little to do with Doctor population alone, is well known and I think it needs no proof. The following scattergram gives some idea about the Issue.
Where to get answer for this controversial question ? Great times we are in. We have taught the machine...

Fibroblast Senescence in the Aging Dermis
A growing body of evidence points to a significant role for senescent cells in the aging of skin, including the work of some researchers who believe that changes that occur in skin over early adult life may be influenced by the presence of senescent cells. Skin is a large organ and its state of inflammation does influence the rest of the body. It remains to be seen as to whether presently available senolytic therapies can produce a meaningful effect on the burden of senescent cells in skin, and to what degree that will affect manifestations of skin aging in humans.
Skin aging is characterized by changes in its str...

Collagen, wrinkles, and ageing skin
Collagen is a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure, firmness, and elasticity of the skin. As we age, several changes occur in the collagen of our skin, contributing to the visible signs of ageing, such as the appearance of wrinkles.
Here are some key aspects of how collagen changes with age:
Decreased Production: The synthesis of collagen decreases with age, leading to a reduction in the overall amount of collagen in the skin. This reduced production is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, such as sun exposure and lifestyle choices, like smoking and alcohol consumption. a balanced...

How Digital Health Companies Attract Software Engineers: Human Resource Management
The previous articles in this series discussed what kinds of programmers do well and enjoy working in a digital health company. This final article looks at some important aspects of culture and how to cultivate the developers you have.
Allow Programmer Creativity, With Sensitivity
Several of my respondents talked about giving professionals flexibility and autonomy. But programmers need to be sensitive to the unique needs of patients and clinicians. Health care is far different from most of the other industries they’re used to working in.
As Anmol Madan, co-founder and CEO of RadiantGraph, puts it, software engineer...

Answer to Case 733
Answer to theParasite Case of the Week 733:Cordylobia anthropophaga,myiasis causing fly larva. Florida Fan painted an accurate picture of this parasite with his vivid description: " The mango fly, aka Tumbu fly, lays eggs on human clothing hung to dry in the sun. The Man-Eating larvae hatching eats its way into the skin of its prey. The three sinuous slits are definite identification clues. Ironing the clothes dried outdoor kills the eggs and prevent a myasis infection. The video clearly exemplifies the voracious nature of The Beast. " Very apt!The adult female fly also commonly lays her eggs on sandy soil conta...

Bioprinting Skin with Hair Follicles
In that part of the tissue engineering community concerned with trying to reproduce natural skin structure, as best as possible with present technology, bioprinting is currently largely used for research and development rather than directly in clinical application as a regenerative therapy. For example, skin models are used in the screening and testing of topical therapies, and greater fidelity with natural skin gives more relevant information. Skin is a complex structure, in which cells associated with sweat glands and hair follicles appear to be important in coordinating growth and healing. The work noted here is an exam...
