Supplementing physical and mental health
I’ve always been wary of taking vitamins and other supplements. There are good reasons not to do so, if you have a reasonably balanced diet. Excesses of some vitamins and minerals can lead to problems like kidney and liver damage, kidney stones, and some can interfere with the absorption and activity of prescription medicines.
However.
I have been feeling rather tired in recent months, becoming unaccustomedly exhausted after even light activity. I’m talking after a short walk, but sometimes even just after a shower. Was it long-COVID, was it my medication, was it just me getting older?

Fight Aging! Newsletter, November 21st 2022
In this study researchers added new insight, showing that high-intensity aerobic exercise, which derives its energy from sugar, can reduce the risk of metastatic cancer by as much as 72%. If so far the general message to the public has been 'be active, be healthy', now researchers can explain how aerobic activity can maximize the prevention of the most aggressive and metastatic types of cancer.
The study combined an animal model in which mice were trained under a strict exercise regimen, with data from healthy human volunteers examined before and after running. The human data, obtained from an epidemiological study ...

Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and valvular heart disease with AF
Subgroup analysis of certain clinical trials support the use of rivaroxaban, apixaban, dabigatran and edoxaban in patients with aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation or mitral regurgitation having atrial fibrillation. NOACs can also be used in aortic bioprosthesis with atrial fibrillation if the valve has been implanted more than 3 months back.
NOACs are better avoided in those with moderate or severe mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation in view of high thromboembolic risk. NOACs should not be used in those with mechanical prosthetic valve with or without atrial fibrillation. Those patients still require vitamin K anta...

Klotho Promotes Autophagy to Slow Vascular Calcification
Klotho is one of the few robustly determined longevity genes capable of altering life span in both directions in mice. A reduced expression of klotho shortens life span, while increased klotho levels lengthen life. Klotho has been shown to improve cognitive function, but investigation to date has suggested that it primarily functions in the kidney, and that kidney function mediates effects elsewhere in the body.
Today's open access paper is focused instead on the relationship between klotho and vascular calcification. Prior research on this topic has focused on the relationship between klotho and FGF23, but here the...

Basic Functions of Abdominal Organs
Most EMT level providers are square on the primary function of the stomach. We can name several things our liver is doing for us and we get the whole kidney concept as well. But when we start drifting beyond the basics, the conversation can turn fuzzy.

Fear not. I put together a handy reference for you. Here’s a list of all those abdominal organs for your review. Now you can sort your large...

Advancing American Indian and Alaska Native Health Through Research, Training, and Engagement
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations have long experienced health disparities such as higher rates of diabetes, certain cancers, and mental health conditions than those of other Americans. One contributing factor in these disparities is underrepresentation of AI/AN populations in biomedical science—as study participants, researchers, and health professionals. Unfamiliarity with health care options and opportunities, coupled with a distrust of biomedical research resulting from unethical studies in the past, have exacerbated this underrepresentation.
NIGMS-supported researchers, including Native scient...
