Cyclarity's Approach to Treating Atherosclerosis
The treatment of atherosclerosis is trapped in a rut, and has been for some time. Near all of the development in this field is focused on producing ever more innovative ways to reduce LDL-cholesterol in the bloodstream. Unfortunately, this cannot do more than modestly slow the condition; it can't reverse existing plaque to any great degree. By the time a plaque has formed, it has become a self-sustaining lesion, inflamed and attracting ever more immune cells to become overwhelmed by the toxic plaque environment and die, adding their mass to the plaque. The input of LDL-cholesterol from the bloodstream, while creating the t...

This study explored the association between tap drinking water and longevity in Cilento, Italy, to understand whether trace elements in local drinking water may have an influence on old, nonagenarian, and centenarian people and promote their health and longevity. Data on population and water sources were collected through the National Demographic Statistics, the Cilento Municipal Archives, and the Cilento Integrated Water Service. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and a geographically weight regression (GWR) model were used to study the spatial relationship between the explanatory and outcome variables of long...

Tau Aggregation Drives Neuroinflammation via Transposable Element Activation
Evidence suggests that there is a bidirectional relationship between tau aggregation and inflammation in the aging brain. Both occur in all brains, and when present to a greater degree contribute to the neurodegenerative conditions termed tauopathies. The most well known of these is Alzheimer's disease, in which tau aggregates and their surrounding toxic biochemistry cause the widespread cell death and severe symptoms that characterize the final stages of the condition. Various studies individually support each of the two directions of the relationship between tau and inflammation. Removing senescent cells from the ...

Fighting the Wrong (Culture) War
By KIM BELLARD News flash from the culture wars: they’re coming to take our gas stoves! Well, actually, “they” are not, but the kind of people who got alarmed about it are a threat to our health, and to theirs. The gas stove furor started with a Bloomberg News interview that Richard Trumka, Jr, a Consumer Product Safety Commission commissioner. “This is a hidden hazard,” he said. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.” He was referring to the well known but little acknowledged fact that gas stoves emit various pollutants, especially nitrogen dioxide. Last ye...

The Gut Microbiome is Distinct in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is characterized by aggregation of α-synuclein, one of a number of harmful protein aggregates that form and spread in the aging brain. At present, it is thought that in many patients this process of aggregation starts in the intestines rather than in the brain. So it is perhaps not that surprising to find that alterations in the balance of microbial populations in the gut microbiome are characteristic of Parkinson's disease. Researchers have been looking into correlations between the microbiome and various age-related diseases with increasing energy for some years now. Exactly how the gut microb...

Age-Related Loss of Sense of Smell Correlates with Degree of Frailty
The many aspects of degenerative aging arise from a smaller set of common underlying processes of damage, giving rise to a web of interacting consequences. It can be hard to pin down the chains of cause and effect, and the degree to which any one contributing cause is responsible for the end result, but nonetheless many aspects of aging correlate with one another for the simple reason that the root causes are much the same. This can be the case even when degeneration occurs in very different bodily systems. For example, as shown here, loss of sense of smell and general physical frailty show a correlation. To exami...

An individual can have a better or worse microbiome, assessing these and other...

Neuroinflammation Is a Prominent Feature of Alzheimer's Disease
Researchers are increasingly considering chronic, unresolved inflammation in brain tissue to be an important pathological mechanism in Alzheimer's disease. Removing senescent cells from the brain has reduced pathology in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. While, as ever, the issue with all such models is their artificiality, as mice do not naturally suffer anything resembling Alzheimer's disease, it is well established that inflammation is a feature of Alzheimer's disease in humans. We have a good idea as to the major causes of this inflammation: senescent cells, an altered gut microbiome, debris from stressed cells that...

A teenager with chest pain, a troponin below the limit of detection, and " benign early repolarization "
Sent by anonymous, written by Pendell MeyersA male in his teens presented with complaints of chest discomfort and dyspnea beginning while exercising but without obvious injury. He immediately stopped exercising and symptoms started to improve. Later that evening he felt recurrent central chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and vomited. Symptoms have been constant since this second episode, and are still present on arrival, which seems to have been less than 1 to 2 hours from onset of symptoms. No similar symptoms in the past. No prior exertional complaints of chest pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, or undue shortness of...
