The Struggle to Deal with the Presently Incurable Issues of Aging
The struggles and sufferings of the old are largely conducted behind the curtain, not talked about all that much in the public sphere. How does one manage the last phase of life for a failing, complex machine that cannot be repaired, only coaxed into a slightly slower decline? As it turns out, a fair amount of not thinking about it is involved: on the part of younger people, and particularly on the part of research and development institutions that do not wish to be burdened with the very complex, interacting nature of late life age-related diseases. New treatments and adjustments to the standard of care are rarely formall...

Inflammatory cGAS-STING Signaling in Age-Related Endothelial Dysfunction
Chronic, unresolved inflammatory signaling is a feature of aging, the result of lingering senescent cells, debris from stressed cells, and other processes. When persistent over time, inflammatory signaling is highly disruptive to cell and tissue function, altering behavior in ways that contribute to a wide variety of pathologies. In the vasculature, this includes atherosclerosis, calcification, loss of compliance in the vascular smooth muscle responsible for contraction and dilation of blood vessels, and a range of more subtle problems, lumped under the heading of endothelial dysfunction, at the inner surface of blood vess...

Alcohol Increases HDL which we still believe to be good cholesterol ( Elizabeth R. De Oliveira e Silva Circulation. 2000)
Alcohol causes less Ischemic stroke, that is documented ( Hillbom M Alcohol and stroke: pathophysiologic mechanisms. Neuroepidemiology. 1998)
Alcohol promotes energy consumption.
It is a sort of baseline exercise equivalent (ELI* )

Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 5th 2022
In conclusion, the PAAIs examined (i.e. mTOR loss of function, Ghrhr loss of function, intermittent fasting-based version of dietary restriction) often influenced age-sensitive traits in a direct way and not by slowing age-dependent change. Previous studies often failed to include young animals subjected to PAAI to account for age-independent PAAI effects. However, any study not accounting for such age-independent intervention effects will be prone to overestimate the extent to which an intervention delays the effects of aging on the phenotypes studied. This can result in a considerable bias of our view on how modifiable a...

Advocating for Glutathione Upregulation as a Basis for Therapy
You might recall a recent small clinical trial in which oral supplementation with large amounts of glutathione precursors produced improvements in health in older adults, the size of the outcome surprisingly large for a treatment based on supplements. Here, researchers enthusiastically advocate for glutathione upregulation, reversing the normal age-related decline in glutathione levels, as a basis for improving the health of older people and slowing the onset of age-related degeneration.
Many local and systemic diseases especially diseases that are leading causes of death globally like chronic obstructive pulmona...

What is domino heart transplantation?
In domino heart transplantation, the donor receives heart lung transplantation. The excised heart is transplanted to another recipient so that the donor for recipient of domino heart transplantation is alive, unlike the conventional donor who is brain dead.
In one report of 10 cases of domino heart transplantation, one year survival of donor was 60% while that of recipient was 90% [1]. It worthwhile noting that donors had terminal cardio pneumopathy (mostly primary pulmonary hypertension, one case of Eisenmenger syndrome and one each of cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and bronchiolitis obliterans) while recipi...

In this study researchers added new insight, showing that high-intensity aerobic exercise, which derives its energy from sugar, can reduce the risk of metastatic cancer by as much as 72%. If so far the general message to the public has been 'be active, be healthy', now researchers can explain how aerobic activity can maximize the prevention of the most aggressive and metastatic types of cancer.
The study combined an animal model in which mice were trained under a strict exercise regimen, with data from healthy human volunteers examined before and after running. The human data, obtained from an epidemiological study ...
