Visuospatial Processing Speed Slows with Aging
Researchers here present data on the age-related slowdown in visuospatial processing speed, where visuospatial processing refers to building and updating a mental model of the surrounding environment based on sight alone. Slowing and reduced capacity of cognitive functions is characteristic of aging. This measure is interesting for some of the correlations found with other aspects of degenerative aging, particularly mobility issues. Visuospatial processing is a necessary part of navigating the environment, but it is interesting to speculate on whether the connection with loss of mobility is the obvious one, or whether this...

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: It ’ s not about giving up
Last week someone asked how I can reconcile using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside hypnosis, because ACT is all about giving up on pain reduction. This belief is common I suppose because ‘acceptance’ is in the name, and acceptance means ‘giving up’ (Biguet et al., 2015). It might also come about because ACT is so often helpful for people with chronic or persistent pain, though I’ve heard some commentators argue that ACT is unhelpfully used with people who may still have pain resolution or reduction available to them.
I can’t comment on when or how ACT is used, but I c...

EarliPoint Evaluation System for ASD Diagnosis: Interview with Tom Ressemann, CEO of EarliTec Dx
EarliTec Dx, a medtech company based in Georgia, has developed the EarliPoint Evaluation System for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This common neurodevelopmental condition is often overlooked in affected children, leading to a lack of early intervention and care. Part of the issue is a lack of access to specialists who can diagnose the condition.
Another issue is the lack of quantitative tools that can assist clinicians in diagnosing ASD, and instead they rely on subjective measurements and observations. The EarliPoint system is hosted on a touchscreen tablet, and involves children observing a video feed of social inte...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 7th 2023
In conclusion, here, we demonstrate a novel mechanism for ESC-EVs to protect cells from senescence. However, whether ESC-EVs rejuvenate aged mice via miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p remains unknown. Next, we plan to use miR-15b-5p and miR-290a-5p antagonists while treating aged mice with ESC-EVs to further investigate the mechanism by which ESC-EVs resist aging in vivo.
