Data ’ s Role in Health Equity: Digging into the Root of the Problem
As we’ve been becoming more patient centric in healthcare, we have become more and more aware of the challenges different demographics face while trying to receive the care they need. As a result, health equity has been a hot topic and organizations have been searching for solutions. Because in order to put our patients first, we need to be sure that includes all of our patients, not just some of them. But just as important as finding solutions are, we need to be sure that we do it right.
A problem as deep as inequality can’t be fixed with temporary solutions just like you can’t fix a leaky pipe with some...

Pure evil
That would be Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo. He ordered a study of the safety of the Covid-19 vaccine, and when the result of the study was that it is safe, he altered the report to falsely imply that it poses a risk of cardiac complications in young men. In other words, he lied to the world in order to support the pre-ordained conclusion that his boss, the pathological liar and fascist governor of Florida, was touting as part of his political act. The result we can assume is that some people did not get vaccinated who other wise would have, and that therefore people got sick and died because of the lies of " Docto...

Demographic Aging is Absent in Naked Mole Rats
Naked mole rats are an extreme example of compression of morbidity in mammals, in that individuals show few signs of aging until very late in life. Their biochemistry is peculiar in a number of ways when compared with other mammals. Their senescent cells do little harm to surrounding tissues; their protein synthesis is highly efficient; the are better at repairing DNA damage; they exhibit impressive cancer suppression mechanisms; and so forth. Will it be possible to build human enhancements or medical technologies from what is learned of naked mole rat metabolism? It is plausible that this is a very complicated extremely l...
