miRNA Therapy Slows Cancer Growth
Scientists at Purdue University have developed a microRNA therapy designed to slow tumor growth. The technology takes advantage of the tendency of several cancer types to express an excess of surface receptors that bind folate (vitamin B9) and draw it into the cell interior. By attaching the microRNA strand to a folate molecule, the researchers could target it to cancer cells. This targeting specificity is advantageous in reducing the potential for side-effects elsewhere in the body, and in reducing the required dose to achieve a tangible anti-cancer effect. The researchers hope that the treatment will expand the therapeut...

Questions grow about the validity and usefulness of direct-to-consumer blood tests for Alzheimer ’s Disease

This might seem appealing on the surface, but the development has Alzheimer’s researchers and clinicians up in arms. The Quest Diagnostics blood test, AD-Detect, measures elevated levels of amyloid-beta proteins, a signature characteristic of Alzheimer’s. Introduced in late July, the test is targeted primarily at people 50 and older who suspect their memory and thinking might be impaired and people with a family history of Alzheimer’s or genetic risks for t...

Chronic stable AF on warfarin: Don ’ t DOAC them just like that!
Are you still on warfarin? Come on, switch to DOAC./NOAC This seems to be a fashion statement among cardiologists and their patients with chronic AF. (By the way, NOAC has a new name, i.e., DOAC. NOAC stands for non-vitamin K anticoagulants. Now, N is replaced with D, direct-acting oral anticoagulants.) NOAC does have some advantages. the major one is better patient compliance, and ease of administration as it doesn’t need routine monitoring. (One may wonder how this transforms into a real advantage? ) The drug acts in a dark invisible mode. Bleeding risks are either less, equivocal, or high. So we can’t con...

Malnutrition Can Impact Wound Healing
Malnutrition can have a significant impact on wound healing. Proper wound healing is a complex process that involves various cellular and biochemical reactions. When the body is malnourished, it lacks the essential nutrients necessary for these processes, which can lead to delayed or impaired wound healing. Here are some key relationships between malnutrition and wound healing: 1. Protein Deficiency: Protein is crucial for tissue repair and the production of collagen, which is essential for wound healing.
