Joe describes the strategic mission of the Health Extension community with charts and graphs. Since aging is not a medical indication according to the FDA, therapies cannot be approved to treat it, so companies are not started to translate research into practice, and thus work in this area is generally, massively underfunded. How do we change this?
1) As people live longer, age-related diseases are increasing which is straining healthcare resources.
2) Cellular senescence, which causes cells to stop dividing, contributes to aging and age-related diseases by accumulating in tissues over time.
3) Studies in mice show that selectively killing senescent cells can reverse some effects of aging and age-related diseases without side effects. Researchers are working on drugs that could do the same in humans.
Dr. Lithgow, from the Buck Institute, presents evidence from his lab that multiple age-related diseases share a common root in cellular aging processes, and furthermore that interventions designed to affect the aging process could prevent or delay such diseases.
Joe is leading the Health Extension community - working to extend healthy lifespan beyond current limits. Its flagship is it's monthly salon series held at Y Combinator attended by about 100 Silicon Valley scientists, investors, entrepreneu rs, designers, developers. Joe began professionally as an electronics designer while in high school, went to Harvard to study biophysics and got a degree in Environmental Geoscience, published quantum tunneling research (Science) from his fellowship at Caltech, did Ocean Chemistry and built robots at MIT, founded OQO which made the world's smallest PC (Guinness, 2006), filed and sold scores of patents in thermal engineering, user interfaces, electronics miniaturization, cloud computing, wireless power and tunable antennas. He has worked at the summit of the Greenland Ice Sheet and at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and is now passionately working to bring the vision of HealthExtension.co to fruition.
This document provides an overview of women's cancers presented by Stephan Esser MD. It reviews definitions, statistics, anatomy and physiology related to breast, uterine, cervical, and ovarian cancers. It discusses risk factors, opportunities for prevention, and proposes chronic inflammation as a model for cancer causation. The presentation aims to educate and empower audiences while motivating them towards lifestyle choices that may reduce cancer risk and progression, such as reducing toxins, adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle, managing stress, and avoiding chronic inflammation.
The Importance of College Students Joining the NMDPMeagan Rudy
This is my work product from my internship course that I took over the summer last year. In this presentation, I discuss the importance of why college students should become bone marrow/stem cell donors and describe how a bone marrow drive works.
This document contains charts and graphs about the aging population and issues faced by seniors. It shows that the population over age 60 is growing and will continue to grow significantly. It also illustrates some of the major health problems faced by seniors like depression, hearing loss, and heart disease. Additionally, it outlines problems faced by seniors such as loneliness, financial burden, and neglect. Finally, the document discusses potential solutions like health insurance, involvement with family, and government support programs.

Saul presents the results of his work in joining the blood systems of young animals to young animals, in which the old animals become younger. These heterchronic parabiosis experiments raise new questions: is it something in young blood that helps the old animals? Or a dilution of the old animals' blood? Will this work in humans? Will it extend lifespan? Many more experiments to try!
Rob Meagley and Andrew Bleloch at Health Extension Salon #5Health_Extension
Dr. Rob Meagley and Dr. Andrew Bleloch present their focused summary of the recent 2012 Foresight Nanotechnology Conference, answering the question: which will be powerfull enough to intervene in aging processes first: biotechnology or nanotechnology?
Prof. Kim presents publicly for the first time results from his lab: two newly discovered genetic variants present almost exclusively in supercentenarians may give clues that lead to therapies allowing all of us to have clean arteries and sharp minds at 110 years of age.
Joe presents an academic poster he and Munjal Shah presented at the Bay Area Aging Symposium, UCSF; it summarized results of a 1000-person study that determined under what conditions people desire extended healthy lifespans.
Jessica Richman discussed applications to aging research of her project uBiome, a citizen science effort to genetically barcode thousands of people's microbiotic ecologies.
Dr. O'Connor presents 3 areas of ongoing research at the SENS Foundation to reverse aging damage at the sub-cellular level: (1) clearance of refractory lysosomal contents; (2) making mitochondria more durable, and (3) control of the alternative lengthening of telomeres as a cancer preventative.
1) Knowing what causes diseases, like the Germ Theory of disease, is more important for life extension than technology alone.
2) It took over 200 years for the medical establishment to accept the Germ Theory after early evidence supported it.
3) Diseases like ulcers and some cancers were incorrectly attributed to other causes for decades before the true microbial pathogens were identified.
4) Microbes have evolved ways to suppress the immune system to survive inside the body, and understanding these pathogenic mechanisms could lead to new treatments.
Justin puts in perspective the relative risk and efficacy of strategies to extend life, and underscores that basic healthy-living behaviors only have tiny effects on our overall risk of dying.
A survey of 28,000 people found that 60% wanted to live to 80 years of age, 30% wanted to live to 120 years, and 10% wanted to live to 150 years. A majority of younger respondents aged 11-35 were more open to longer lifespans compared to older respondents aged 61-90. Some of the top concerns against living to 150 years included fear of prolonged frailty, financial costs, and overpopulation. However, supporters of longer lifespans cited reasons like having more time with loved ones and the opportunity to see future advances. The document provides a website for more information on the topic of longer human lifespans.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
