Upping Your Exercise Game in Cancer Care (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Making exercise part of routine cancer care seems like a no-brainer. Study after study supports it. Guidelines call for it. Surveys show that many patients want their oncologists to discuss it. And now, with the publication of the CHALLENGE trial last year, the field has moved beyond evidence that exercise helps with brain fog, fatigue, and surgery recovery — all important outcomes on their own. The CHALLENGE trial proves that a structured exercise program can reduce the long-term risk for recur
The Dark Side of Full Patient Autonomy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paternalism is out. Shared decision-making is in. But some communication and ethics experts say medicine is veering far too much toward full patient autonomy. A new review in the journal Health Communication found that clear delivery, active listening, and empathy were associated with patient trust. Obvious? Probably. But here’s the twist: The authors also found that paternalistic styles didn’t always harm trust — and even aided shared decision-making in some situations, particularly in contexts
Missing Piece of the Thymus/Immune System Puzzle May Be Age (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pop a question into a scientist’s head about thymic T-cell education and aging these days, and the result is akin to a slot machine spewing hypotheses. The thymus has prominently entered longevity conversations in recent years amid new evidence that it is relevant in adulthood. Now, the tiny and once written-off thymus is prompting another gee-whiz moment, because a new study in Nature Communications links its hormone-producing role as a gland to inflammaging and cancer immunotherapy effectivene
Why the Brain May Become Our Default Longevity Barometer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Stanford biological aging researcher Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, is the guy who rejuvenated the brains of mice through blood transfusions back in 2014. Since then, his lab developed a human plasma proteomic aging model for 11 organ systems. Nature Medicine recently published a follow-up paper on the model that links disease risk and mortality to aging at an organ-specific cellular level. Until now, aging clockmakers haven’t been able to set their sights on translational medicine, even with binocul
The Newest Frontier for GLP-1s: Clearing Skin Disease (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, conventional wisdom held that skin improvements among patients on GLP-1 medications were a byproduct of weight loss, which reduces inflammation. But doctors are spotting a much more complex reality — and new research supports their observations. At the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, dermatologist Joe K. Tung, MD, MBA, noticed dramatic changes in his patients with psoriasis just starting a GLP-1. Their plaques began “melting away” within 2 d
