Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Aging Frailty: A Phase II Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial “Treated groups had remarkable improvements in physical performance measures and inflammatory biomarkers, both of which characterize the frailty syndrome. Given the excellent safety and efficacy profiles demonstrated in this study, larger clinical trials are warranted to establish the efficacy of hMSCs in this multisystem disorder.” 🔑 Key findings “ The CRATUS trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation of allo-hMCSs to treat the signs and symptoms of frailty. The results support the safety and feasibility of administering allo-hMSCs in this population. With regard to efficacy, there was a preferential effect towards improvement of functional capacity and patient reported outcome measures in patients receiving lower dose MSCs, although immunologic bioactivity was evident with both doses. Together, these findings suggest that allo-hMSCs may be an effective biological modifier of aging frailty, and support ongoing investigation of allo-hMSCs alone or as an adjunct to current physical training strategies for aging frailty.” https://t.co/BKh5TaWT1J

Wow... Power training and longevity Araújo et al. followed 3,899 people — mostly middle-aged and older adults — for a median of nearly 11 years. They compared two metrics head-to-head: muscle strength and muscle power. Men in the lowest power category were...

How do you build a company that $JNJ will buy for $15 billion? Listen here.
It's important to celebrate the interoperability wins just as often as leaning in on all the drama. To that extent, let's start the clap as @eClinicalWorks just dropped 9 new FHIR APIs, including full CRUD on Coverage and e-prescribing data...
Every 1% BMI Drop Cuts Cancer Risk Every 1% drop in BMI lowers your cancer risk. The data now proves it in the real world. As a medical school professor, I have taught for years that obesity drives cancer through metabolic dysfunction....

The Impact of Fatigue on Health, Function, and Survival Between Ages 70 and 100 "Our findings highlight the clinical importance of recognizing fatigue by health care professionals throughout the entire aging life span and raise the possibility that fatigue may serve...
most of us chose medicine for the love of healing and the satisfaction of seeing patients recover, not for ego or glory, and money was meant to be a by-product. But after years of hard work, investment, and burnout, if...
🧵 The biggest mistake doctors make isn’t choosing the wrong branch. It’s choosing the safe life without questioning it. You study for years. Get the degree. Take the job. Everything looks right. But slowly: • Income plateaus • Workload increases • Freedom decreases
I bet on uniQure thinking it was an obvious win win win. HD wins with expanded access. FDA wins by narrowly expanding authorization while vigorously monitoring follow up data. Investors win as the company proves what doctors are saying. Instead...

Effect of henagliflozin on aging biomarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study 🔎"Our results suggest that henagliflozin may exert anti-aging effects by influencing multiple pathways, including the IGF-1 system, glucose metabolism, the immune system, and...
It takes the human brain two years to fully recover from burnout. Yet many physicians are in denial, assuming their absolute exhaustion is just normal. Dr. Tomi Mitchell hit her absolute limit. She was running a massive medical center, raising two...

Some of this healthcare fraud video stuff is of course performative and bad use of data. But a lot of it isn't. Yet, not a single Dem that I'm aware of at national/state/big city level is making the case for...

Great review of the idea of potential enrollment right into Medicare Advantage (though doesn’t consider Chris’ added twist of competition between Traditional Medicare ACOs and MA) https://t.co/rcquVZ8zxn it would be fun to compete head-head (but would need level playing field)
A 100 percent patient satisfaction score does not always mean you are a great doctor. Sometimes it just means you are a people pleaser. Physicians are conditioned to panic over negative feedback. One bad review can trigger a complete nervous system...

Over half of all lumbar fusions fail. They’re still covered by insurance. Conservative care that actually works — exercise, PT, load management — gets denied or severely limited. We don’t have a back pain problem. We have a financial incentive problem.
Read “Bottle of Lies.” FDA needs to perform spot checks of generics - not just inspections.
