Healthcare IT Regulations – What Needs to Be Added and What Needs to Be Removed
There are a lot of rules and regulations in place in the world of healthcare. These are put into place in order to protect patients and organizations. However, the world of healthcare is constantly changing and evolving as we come up with new ideas and solutions. Have the regulations done the same though? Or are there areas that are missing regulations? Or are there areas in healthcare where past regulations are now too restrictive and are holding us back?
In search of answers to these questions, we reached out to our incredibly beautiful Healthcare IT Today Community to see what areas they would add, remove, or update re...

Revolutionizing Fertility Care: Femtech CEO Weighs in on the Power of Remote Monitoring and Advancing Technologies
In conclusion, fertility care is on the cusp of a revolutionary transformation, and embracing at-home remote monitoring and advancing technologies are keys to unlocking its full potential. As a thought leader in the Femtech industry, I believe these innovations will continue to improve patient experiences, reduce barriers to care, and empower individuals and couples as they navigate the intricacies of their reproductive health.
By championing the adoption of remote monitoring and fostering collaboration between fertility tech and clinics, we can create a future where fertility care is more accessible, personalized, and suc...

Sex Differences in Microglial Senescence in the Context of Alzheimer's Disease
Why are two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients women? Women live longer than men, making up an ever larger share of the surviving cohort at any given age, and Alzheimer's is an age-related disease. This doesn't explain the whole of the difference, however. A dominant hypothesis is that the immune system is sufficiently different between the sexes to produce marginally greater dysfunction and neuroinflammation in women, in the same way that still incompletely understood biochemical differences lead to a greater incidence of autoimmunity in women. Researchers here produce supporting evidence for this hypothesis, showing that fem...

PF4 Released by Platelets a Common Factor in Multiple Interventions Known to Reduce Neuroinflammation
Chronic inflammation of brain tissue is characteristic of aging and neurodegenerative conditions. The worse the inflammation, the worse the outcome. Lasting, unresolved inflammation in the absence of the usual causes of inflammation such as injury or infection occurs in aged tissues for a variety of reasons, including the pro-inflammatory signaling of senescent cells and triggering of innate immune responses by the mislocalization of mitochondrial DNA that occurs as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction. Current methods of suppressing inflammation are crude, a matter of blocking specific inflammatory signals passing betwee...

Navigating Correlation and Causation with Life Sciences in the Age of AI
The following is a guest article by Alex Long, Head of Life Sciences Sales Strategy at Dell Technologies
In science, avoiding correlation without causation is a cornerstone of research methodology. This fundamental principle ensures that scientific conclusions are grounded in evidence rather than coincidental associations. However, as we venture into the Artificial Intelligence (AI) age, a new challenge emerges – that of “Correlation, not Creation.”
A classic example highlighting the distinction between correlation and causation is the seemingly bizarre connection between ice cream sales and swimming acci...

Lipid Metabolism in Age-Related Disease
In this age of excess calories, in which a large proportion of the population is significantly overweight, research into lipid metabolism in the context of aging tends overlap with research into lipid metabolism in the context of obesity. People of normal weight still undergo complex changes in lipid metabolism and lipid transport throughout the body with age, however. These lead to prominent, important issues such as atherosclerosis, localized excesses of cholesterol and associated lesions in the arterial walls, for example. Looking at these conditions through the lens of lipid metabolism is looking at just one part of a ...

Reviewing the Aging of the Adrenal Gland
The smaller organs of the body tend to receive less attention from scientists in the field of aging research. There is a lot of ground to cover and only so many research groups. Attention is first given to better studied tissues with proven, direct connections to better studied diseases and causes of mortality. This includes the larger organs such as heart, lungs, liver, and so forth. Chemical factories and cell factories such as the adrenal gland and thymus are clearly important in aging, but indirect effects spread across many different age-related conditions are, it seems, more difficult to study and more difficult to o...

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.

Fatty Acid Metabolism as a Commonality in Different Approaches to Slowing Aging
In this study, we report systemic changes in the molecular regulation of biological processes under multiple lifespan-extending interventions, by jointly leveraging systems-level analyses on two mouse liver proteomic datasets, which were generated in the NIA Longevity Consortium, and a previously published mouse liver transcriptomic dataset. Differential Rank Conservation (DIRAC) analyses of mouse liver proteomics and transcriptomics data show that mechanistically distinct lifespan-extending interventions (acarbose, 17α-estradiol, rapamycin, and calorie restriction) generally tighten the regulation of biological modules. ...

Postmenopausal Hormone Treatment Correlates with Increased Dementia Risk
We report a nationwide study on the association between menopausal hormone therapy and development of dementia. 5,589 incident cases of dementia and 55,890 age matched controls were identified between 2000 and 2018 from a population of all Danish women aged 50-60 years in 2000 with no history of dementia or contraindications for use of menopausal hormone therapy.
Compared with people who had never used treatment, people who had received oestrogen-progestin therapy had an increased rate of all cause dementia (hazard ratio 1.24). Increasing durations of use yielded higher hazard ratios, ranging from 1.21 for one year ...
