Milwaukee County Addresses Health Equity with Data and GIS Technology
Milwaukee County is at the forefront of addressing racial inequity. During the COVID-19 pandemic they cross referenced vaccination rates with the CDC’s social vulnerability index and plotted the results using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Armed with this powerful insight, the County was able to increase vaccinations in populations that needed them the most and by doing so increased the safety of the entire County. They are now incorporating an equity lens into other areas of public health.
Healthcare IT Today had the opportunity recently to sit down with Zachary Swingen, Lead GIS Coordinator at Milwauke...

The Stage is Set for More Rapid Progress Towards Human Longevity in the Next Decade
Today's popular science article is a tour of a few of the higher profile lines of research and development relevant to treating aging as a medical condition. The state of the field has changed greatly over the last decade, not least of these changes being a vast increase in the funding devoted to clinical translation of age-slowing and rejuvenation therapies. Cynically, I suspect that it is the funding that ensures that the popular science press takes a more respectful tone than they did ten years ago. It is much harder to advance (in writing!) a knee-jerk dismissal of a field of science when billions of dollars of funding...

Missing links in IHD : What is the relationship between Ischemia & cardiac arrhythmias ?
The term Ischemic heart disease (IHD) was once very popular, but many abandoned it as it became an academic cliche. CAD & CAHD are the other terms that are equally popular and prevalent. Stable IHD was in vogue till recently, which was again replaced by “chronic coronary syndrome’ now. Honestly, I feel the original term IHD to be restored however outdated it may look. it encompasses the entire spectrum of clinical cardiac disorders.
Manifestation of Ischemia heart disease
Angina
Infarction
Cardiac failure
Arrhythmias
Silent ischemia
Sudden cardiac death

Healthcare Fragmentation Isn ’ t So Bad, If It Comes with Better Outcomes
The following is a guest article by Nate Maslak, Founder & CEO at Ribbon Health.
Personalization is embedded into many aspects of our lives, from individualized show recommendations on our Netflix accounts to AI-driven product recommendations based on our shopping habits. And consumers have come to expect and demand this personalization. Recent McKinsey research shows that 71% of consumers expect companies to deliver personalized interactions.
This expectation is expanding into healthcare. Personalized healthcare meets people where they are as an individual with unique behaviors, medical histories and life circumstan...

This article on senolytic therapies to selectively remove senescent cells in old tissues is in part a matter of Unity Biotechnology talking up their position. The company suffered from first mover disadvantage in bringing senolytic drugs into clinical development. The field has made progress very rapidly over the last decade, and startups founded even just a couple of years after Unity's launch benefited from greater knowledge and a selection of better technologies to work with. Still, one can be talking up one's position and also be right. The accumulation of senescent cells is profoundly harmful, a significant contributi...

So Much to Do, So Little Selenium Needed
You may know that antioxidants can help protect your cells from oxidative damage, but do you know about selenium—an element often found in special proteins called antioxidant enzymes? Selenium is essential to your body, which means you must get it from the food you eat. But it’s a trace element so you only need a small amount to benefit from its effects. In addition to its antioxidant properties, it’s also important for reproduction, DNA synthesis, and hormone metabolism.
In our bodies, selenium works in antioxidant enzymes to help protect us from oxidative damage. The element is also found in antidandruf...

Forms of Lowered Calorie Intake Treat Even Late Stage Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease for near all patients. It results from excess visceral fat tissue, with some evidence suggesting that the specific issue is excess fat in the pancreas. Low calorie diets produce a reversal of symptoms, perhaps in large part due to loss of visceral fat. Here researchers show that intermittent fasting, another approach to reducing calorie intake, also helps to reduce the symptoms suffered by patients and the dependency on medication.
One might conclude that most type 2 diabetics are choosing to remain type 2 diabetics by refraining from lowered calorie intake and consequent weigh...

Association of LDL-Cholesterol with Mortality
https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/12/association-of-ldl-cholesterol-with-mortality/
Researchers here report on a study of LDL-cholesterol and mortality risk in older people. As they note, data on this topic is conflicted once one moves beyond the matter of cardiovascular disease. Over a lifetime, higher LDL-cholesterol makes it easier to reach the tipping point at which cholesterol deposited in blood vessel walls produces e...
