Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 15th 2024
In conclusion, although several clinical trials targeting SnCs are ongoing, various questions about the biology of SnCs remain open, resulting in a gap between molecular and cellular data. Concerning the need, initiatives such as SenNet aiming to create openly accessible atlases of SnCs should contribute enormously to the area. Advances in understanding the subcellular structure, the heterogeneity, and the dynamics of SnCs require the integration of molecular and cellular techniques with data analysis packages to evaluate high throughput evidence from microscopy and flow cytometry. It is also necessary to develop new equip...

Novel mTOR Inhibitors Viewed as a Safer Option by Conservative Investors
The safest sort of investment into therapeutic development is one made in a part of a field that is well established, producing a small variant of an existing drug, using the well beaten path of small molecule development, targeting a mechanism that is very well understood, and that has extensive safety data associated with it. One could argue that mTOR inhibition is the canonical example of a low risk investment in the longevity field. Like most lower-risk exercises in medical development, the potential gain for patients is modest. mTOR inhibition can produce larger gains in mouse life span than exercise, but doesn't beat...

Hackers, Breaches And The Value Of Health Data: 2024 E-Book Update
As solutions like remote care are becoming the norm, 3D printing disrupts the normal supply chain and the number of life science studies on tools like artificial intelligence (AI) skyrocket, it’s become clear that we are not anticipating the digital health era; we are in the digital health era. This was to come sooner or later, but the pandemic accelerated the process by years.
However, along with the enhanced healthcare landscape that digital health brings along, there is the pressing issue of privacy. To put it bluntly, there is no digital health without sacrificing a part of our privacy. The advanced technolo...

Two Years Later: Biden Has Finally Taken the First Step on Stopping Risky Arms Transfers
Jordan CohenPresident Joe Biden ’s administration just released itsConventional Arms Transfer policy, which dictates who can buy U.S. weapons and how the arms transfers process should function. These policies come directly from the White House; former President Donald Trump issued the last Conventional Arms Transfer policy in 2018, which was primarily focused on the economic benefits from weapons transfers.The Biden administration ’s Conventional Arms Transfer policy makes two notable changes. First, it adds text about norms and human rights. Specifically, it notes that the U.S. should “prevent arms transfers that ri...

Sunday Sermonette: Nope, never happened
The Book of Kings does tell us that Asa became king of Judah, and that he eliminated shrines to foreign gods. However, contrary to what we read below in Chronicles 14:3, 1 Kings: 15 says "Although he did not remove the high places, Asa ’s heart was fully committed to theLord all his life. "The Book of Kings entirely omits the succeeding story about the invasion by Zerah and the great battle. The Cushite kingdom is traditionally associated with Ethiopia, and the KJV identifies Zerah as Ethiopian, but the NIV translators don ' t tell us where they think he came from. It is of course inconceivable that anyone in ...

An Idea Whose Time Has Come: ‘Islamic Declaration Against Religious Police’
Mustafa AkyolOn January 4, theMuslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), a non ‐profit organization founded by a group of American Muslims in 1988, released an important document: “Islamic Declaration Against Religious Police. ”It began by explaining why such a declaration is necessary:The distressing events transpiring in the Islamic Republic of Iran impress upon us the need to issue a clear and declarative statement against the institution of religious or morality police in particular, and the ideology of compulsion in general. We do so not from a political or partisan perspective but from a&...

The Yemen War Powers Resolution Vote Is An Important Step Towards Recalibrating the U.S.-Saudi Relationship
Jordan Cohen andJonathan Ellis AllenThe War in Yemen is the worst manmade humanitarian disaster in the 21st century, and the United States has sponsored it from the start. Nevertheless, on December 13, 2022, the Senate will vote to dischargeS.J. Resolution 56, also known as the Yemen War Powers Resolution, from committee. If passed, the legislation would “remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities against the Houthis in Yemen within 30 days of the enactment of this joint resolution unless Congress authorizes a later withdrawal date, issues a declaration of war, or specifically authorizes the use of the Armed Forces.”...

5 Big Trauma Scene Mistakes You Can Avoid
We all have our good calls and our bad calls. Don’t we? Sometimes things just flow. Sometimes the patient, the bystanders, the crew members, everyone just clicks. And it’s beautiful. It’s like that perfect drive off the tee box that keeps you coming back for another round. The three point jumper that makes you wonder if you should have tried to play college ball.
Unfortunately (perhaps) it is the rare scene that runs flawlessly. More often than not we look back on our calls and think about the things we could have, and should have done better. Of course, that’s how it should be. Without those moments we don’t ...

Poor, feeble impotent God
Something I find very difficult to understand about religious fanatics is their assumption that God can ' t take care of himself. Blasphemy laws or just denunciation of blasphemy are one example of this ridiculous, contradictory idea. God needs you to protect him from me? Then what use is he to you?Now,via PZ, there ' s this: White nationalist Nick Fuentes admits the election proves that " we are in the minority " and " that ' s why we need a dictatorship " : " We need to take control of the media or take control of the government and force the people to believe what we believe.

Why Electronic Health Record Interoperability is a Key Step Toward Fair Drug Prices
The following is a guest article by Girisha Fernando, Founder and CEO at Lyfegen.
Changes are afoot in the way insurers and governments pay for the drugs and treatments patients need-and a big part of that change includes a move towards value-based contracting, with prices set based on the outcome of treatments. With recent legislation allowing Medicare to negotiate prices, it’s likely that the movement will grow, given the high and constantly rising costs of pharmaceuticals, especially gene therapies and other innovative or personalized drugs. Indeed, some drug companies offering very high-priced treatments have already...
