Pharmacy Interoperability and Pharmacy Perspectives Coming Out of the ONC Annual Meeting
It never ceases to amaze me how integral the role of the pharmacist could be to a patient and how many pharmacists are relegated to counting pills and checking insurance. I first experienced this in my first healthcare job which included handling IT support for the pharmacy. Yes, the pharmacist has to make sure the prescription is filled properly and the patient gets the right number of pills. However, I quickly learned that pharmacists can be some of the best sources of medical information for me as a patient. Not to mention, they generally more accessible to talk about the medication and how it works than the doc...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, January 8th 2024
This study examined whether the local injection of the supernatant of activated PRP (saPRP) into the salivary gland (SG) could help prevent aging-induced SG dysfunction and explored the mechanisms responsible for the protective effects on the SG hypofunction.
Human salivary gland epithelial cells (hSGEC) were treated with saPRP or PRP after senescence through irradiation. The significant proliferation of hSGEC was observed in saPRP treated group compared to irradiation only group and irradiation + PRP group. Cellular senescence, apoptosis, and inflammation were significantly reduced in the saPRP group.

From Security to Regulation: Exploring the Hidden Challenges of the Digital Health Revolution
The following is a guest article by Abhishek Khandelwal, Vice President, Life Sciences at Capgemini Engineering
The convergence of digital technology and healthcare has been underway for quite some time, but as we inch closer to 2024, the pace of change that this sector is experiencing is unprecedented. For an industry that typically trails “big tech” when it comes to software-enabled innovation, healthcare organizations are beginning to hone in on digital transformation and race ahead of the pack.
In the post-pandemic world of remote and hybrid healthcare, where health resources are strained, budgets are stretched thi...

Is Alternative Splicing a Meaningful Cause of Degenerative Aging, or Largely a Downstream Side-Effect?
A gene sequence consists of a mix of shorter sequences, only some of which are used to manufacture the protein encoded in that gene. Exon sequences are included and intron sequences are excluded. Nothing is ever quite that simple, of course, but changes in which exons and introns end up in a protein enable multiple proteins to be produced from a single gene sequence. Sometimes this is an accident, assome genes are prone to accidental production of truncated or extended proteins that are toxic. Sometimes this is an evolutionary reuse in which a gene produces several different vital proteins with quite different functions.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Scientists Through CityLab
Credit: CityLab.
“Many of the students we work with don’t have access to a laboratory through their local schools. For them, CityLab is their first exposure to a laboratory environment—these are hugely important moments for these kids,” says Carl Franzblau, Ph.D., the founder of CityLab at Boston University (BU). CityLab was established more than 30 years ago as a science education outreach program for precollege students and teachers through a partnership between the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and the Wheelock College of Education & Human Development at BU.

Inflammatory Microglia in Degenerative Aging and Alzheimer's Disease
Microglia, the innate immune cells of the central nervous system, can enter an aggressive, inflammatory state in response to the presence of molecular waste, inflammatory signaling, mitochondrial damage, and so forth. They can also become senescent, which is also a pro-inflammatory state. The aging brain, and particularly the brains of patients with neurodegenerative conditions, exhibit a state of chronic inflammation, producing dysfunction, cell stress, and cell death. It remains to be seen as to how effective anti-inflammatory therapies targeting microglia will be in the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions and the ...

Failing Mitochondrial Quality Control in Aging and Neurodegeneration
Every one of our cells contains hundreds of mitochondria, the descendants of ancient symbiotic bacteria now fully integrated into our biochemistry. Mitochondria contain their own small remnant genome, the mitochondrial DNA, replicate like bacteria, and toil to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a chemical energy store molecule used to power cell processes. Mitochondrial function declines with age, unfortunately, and our cells suffer for it. This contributes meaningfully to many age-related conditions. This decline appears to result in large part from changes in gene expression that impair the various quality control pro...

How Healthcare Can Manage Compliance with Fine-Grained Protection
The following is a guest article by Marlena Herrera, Director at Protegrity
Healthcare organizations are becoming more lucrative targets for hackers, as their data is rich with extremely sensitive information and is often susceptible to vulnerabilities. In the same step, the number of regulations governing the sector has grown in complexity, which stems from movements including the HIPAA Right of Access Initiative and fallout from the reversal of federally protected abortion access. Combining this with the increasing number of digital-first health applications and services on the market, protecting data at every touchpoint...

There Is Little Doubt We Can Now Deliver A Lot Of Care Outside Expensive Hospital Environments!
This appeared late last year. Why home is better than hospital Patients can often be treated at home just as well as in expensive hospitals. But private health insurers have too little incentive to fund it.
