Existing Geroprotective Drugs May Not Interact Well with Exercise
The big disadvantage of the geroprotective approach to aging, which is essentially to undertake the long-term use of supplements and small molecule drugs to alter metabolism in ways that slow aging over years and decades, is that distinct supplements and small molecules and adjustments tend to combine in unexpected ways. Short of testing every combination in laboratory species, something that Brian Kennedy's team has been working on, one can never know the outcome of combining a treatment. Based on presentations and interviews given by Kennedy in the last few years, the result of combining two geroprotectors that individua...

Fortifying Healthcare Against Critical Cybersecurity Threats: A Three-Pronged Approach
The following is a guest article by Ferdinand Hamada, Managing Director of Healthcare at MorganFranklin Consulting
The healthcare sector has faced an unprecedented surge of serious cybersecurity threats in recent months. Continuity of patient care while safeguarding patient data and organizational systems has never been more crucial. As the industry grapples with “critical” vulnerabilities – threats which not only expose sensitive patient data but also open the door to potential remote code execution, granting hackers the highest level of privileges – implementing strategic security measures is imperative.

An ECG with only «marginal» change
DISCUSSION: This case nicely illustrates how subtle OMI changes really can be. The Queen of Hearts AI model did not identify OMI in the initial ECG.Below is the QoH explainability for the limb leads of the ECG #2 (left part of the image) and limb leads of ECG #3 (right side of the image). The sets of six limb leads are put next to each other for comparison. I ' ve excluded the precordial leads as they didn ' t add much information in this case. You can look at each leads and compare the two ECGs. You then can appreciate the dynamic change and see what parts of the waveform the QoH identifies as ischemic findings....
