Wound Dressing Detects Infection, Changes Color
Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden created a wound dressing that can provide a visual indication if the underlying wound is infected. Chronic wounds are difficult to manage, and presently healthcare staff must remove the dressing regularly to check if an infection is developing. However, this can disrupt the wound by damaging the scab, impairing healing, and may even introduce pathogens in the process. This latest technology takes advantage of the tendency of infected wounds to show a reduction in acidity and become more basic. It consists of a nitrocellulose dressing that contains mesoporous silica nanoparticl...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 1st 2023
In conclusion, frailty progression accelerates in males with one LTCs and females with two LTCs or more. Health providers should be aware of planning a suitable intervention once the elderly have two or more health conditions. Plasma Transfer Lowers Epigenetic Age and Mortality in Rats https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/04/plasma-transfer-lowers-epigenetic-age-and-mortality-in-rats/ Plasma transfer from young to old individuals has produced mixed results in animals and little to no benefit in humans where assessed rigorously. These studies were driven by the hypothesis that young plasma contains m...

Cellular Senescence in Aging Skin
In one sense, the accumulation of senescent cells with age is the same story in every tissue. These cells secrete pro-inflammatory, disruptive signaling that actively degrades tissue structure and function. The targeted destruction of lingering senescent cells produces aspects of rapid rejuvenation in aged mice. In another sense, every tissue is different and senescence in that tissue likely worthy of at least some degree of distinct study, perhaps leading to optimized therapies for clearance of senescent cells on a tissue by tissue basis, for example. Here, find a review that looks at cellular senescence in the context of...

Two Cases of a Cool Skin Condition (Erythrocyanosis, Pernio or Chilblains,  Anyone?)
BY HANS DUVEFELT A month ago an oncologist called and asked me to see one of my heart failure patients whose chronically swollen legs seemed unusually blue but not cold. Before I could get him in to see me, he ended up seeing a colleague, who called me up and said the man’s legs were cool and there was no Doppler in that office to check for pedal pulses. The man was sent for an urgent CT angiogram with runoff. The test was perfectly normal. He had clean arteries. When I saw him, the legs were less blue than they must have been and they felt OK but he had what looked like a shingles rash around his right elbow...

Sunday Sermonette: Do not mess with the guys who wrote this
The story of Uzziah, including his transgression and consequential leprosy, is told briefly in the Book of Kings, embedded in a much longer discussion of goings on in the northern kingdom at the time. The Chronicler as usual has no interest in the northern kingdom, but he has a great deal of interest in the prerogatives of the priesthood so he makes that the focus. There have been instances in the past when the priests have put kings in their place, although in the early part of the Deuteronomistic History kings sometimes made sacrifices and apparently it was okay.  The Chronicler wants to be very clear that kings can...

Terahertz Spectroscopy to Assess Severity of Skin Burns
Scientists at Stony Brook University in New York have developed a hand-held scanner that uses terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and neural network data analysis to non-invasively assess the severity of skin burns. At present, it is difficult to visually assess the depth of a burn injury, which could negatively influence treatment outcomes. The device probes the burn injury with pulses of terahertz radiation. The terahertz reflectivity of the skin is altered by burn injuries, allowing a neural network to assess the signal and estimate the burn depth. The technology could allow more precise assessments of burn injuries and ...
