ATP Energy : Charging Our Cellular Batteries

To achieve a scientific breakthrough, it often takes an iconoclast who breaks ranks with the establishment. Peter Mitchell, a British chemist, fits the profile. In the early 1960’s, Mitchell single-handedly made a discovery that previously baffled the brightest scientists. Today, his discovery points the way towards improved health for aging cells.

The ATP Energy Mystery Solved

The mystery that he solved was how cells convert food to the chemical form of energy, ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy-producing process was generally known to occur in the subcellular structures, the mitochondria. Mitchell was the first to put forth a theory – seen as wild at the time - to explain how the body manufactures energy. His Nobel Prize-winning insight was that the mitochondria work like storage batteries.

TNH's Lovecraftian preserved "Larval Old Ones in Ichor"

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:46:19 GMT

clipped by: Lexica
clipper's remarks: From the Make canned monstrosities thread at BoingBoing.

Clip Source: www.boingboing.net

A jar of yummy Larval Old Ones in Ichor:

several pounds of fresh mushrooms
medium or large canning jar, with lid
salt (optional)
microwave oven
pressure cooker

This is a good recipe for storing mushrooms if your grocery gets stuck with a bunch of aging mushrooms and puts them on sale dead cheap. Mushrooms with large rounded heads look creepiest. Portobellos are good as long as their telltale edges don't show.

The trick is that only the first quarter-inch or so of the mushrooms will be visible through the liquid they throw off, so what you get is a jar of nearly-opaque inky fluid filled with pallid, mottled, suggestively rounded shapes pressed against the glass. It really does look creepy. If you want, you can add a label saying Larval Old Ones, Preserved in Their Ichor, or similar sentiments.

When you get tired of your artifact, the mushrooms in their juice can be used in cream of mushroom soup, added to pot roast or London broil, or whatever you please.

Blessed By Misfortune - McCain’s Speech

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 05:56:20 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: McCain has changed the GOP into the party outside the mess in DC and ready to clean it up. The liberals played the useful idiot roles by giving McCain the opportunity to go off speech and use them of an example of why hyper partisanship has destroyed DC. We don’t want purity to party, we want solutions to problems. McCain reminded us we can easily solve the aging and dysfunctional services like education, energy, taxes, security, etc.

McCain, through his own riveting personal story of transformation from self centered cocky fly boy to dedicated man of his country, reintroduced himself to America, and reintroduced us to ourselves. The speech was a huge hit. And the comparisons to Obama were striking.

Clip Source: strata-sphere.com

The John McCain I met tonight was incredibly Reaganesque as he reminded us that American pride comes from winning the fight - not from whining for handouts as victims.

We all know those things we have had to fight to gain, those times we were tested and succeeded, were the most memorable of our existence. Trivial and easy equals forgettable.

Obama and the left want to whine and moan about how hard it all is and how we must ask government to take care of us. Very European.

While the left wallow in the challenges facing this nation and wring their hands praying for government solutions, McCain said if government and gridlock gets out of the way we could fix them.

McCain wants to fix government so we can fix our problems. Obama wants us to hand our problems to the idiots in DC to fix, who got us in this mess in the first place.

If the do-nothing Congress would get out of the way we would be building nuclear power plants, drilling for oil here in the US and easing the cost of energy

Can toomuch or too little pain med cause delirium in the elderly?

Aging and Delirium: Too Much or Too Little Pain Medication?

Delirium, also known as acute confusion, is common in hospitalized elders and can result in poor outcomes. Delirium occurs in as many as 50% of general hospital patients and rises to more than 80% in intensive care patients and patients at the end of life (Esper and Heidrich 2005, Inouye 1998, Inouye 2006, Pisani et al 2003). Delirium is associated with increased morbidity, increased length of stay, poorer functional outcomes, increased risk of nursing home placement, and increased patient care costs (Pompei, Foreman, Rudberg, Inouye, Braund & Cassel, 1994). Medicare hospital expenditures attributable to delirium are nearly $6.9 billion (Inouye, 2006). The clinical features include a rapid onset, disordered attention, disturbance of the sleep-wake cycle, and a fluctuating course with deterioration in the evening. Alertness can be either increased (hyperactive) or decreased (hypoactive) (Burns, Gallagley, & Byrne, 2004).

Hands Down. Sunscreen is Imperative.

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:21:06 GMT

clipped by: pitim

Clip Source: myitthings.com

Our hands are overworked, underpaid and often neglected. They can look years older than our faces, which we pamper and lather with creams, sunscreens and other anti-aging products.

I have an elegant older relative who is always reminding my sister and me that we should be applying sunscreen to our hands every single day. This wise woman is gracefully aging and at 72, has nary an age spot on the peaches and cream complexion of her face. Yet the sun spots on her hands are her personal nemesis. All those years of wearing sunscreen and fabulous sun hats, it just didn’t occur to her to be protecting her hands from the elements that accelerate aging. So now it’s become her mission to pass this wisdom to the next generation.

Unless you don a pair of gloves everyday–as the delicate Japanese women often do–sunscreen application on the hands is a must .

Landmark study opens door to new cancer, aging treatments

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 01:02:41 GMT

Clip Source: www.nature.com

Telomerase protein structure will help research into ageing and cancer.

The part of the enzyme that controls the timing mechanism of cellular ageing has been revealed.

The X-ray crystal structure offers insights into the ageing process of normal cells, and may provide a safer method for treating up to 90% of human cancers.

Clip Source: www.physorg.com

Researchers have attempted for more than a decade to find drugs that shut down telomerase—widely considered the No. 1 target for the development of new cancer treatments—but have been hampered in large part by a lack of knowledge of the enzyme's structure.

In addition to its role in cancer, telomerase holds significant implications for the development of therapies to combat aging and other age-related diseases.

Finding ways to activate telomerase under controlled conditions and allow some cells to begin dividing again could result in healthier, younger-looking tissue that lives longer.

The Problem of Hoarding

Is Hoarding a Big Deal?

Hoarding can manifest itself in the excessive collection of household trash, newspapers, magazines, clothing, and even animals. In some instances, not only have reams of useless items been accumulated, but also an entire household may be brimming with items from floor to ceiling. All available living space, including every surface, countertops, chairs, sofas, bathtubs, sinks, coffee tables, desks, and beds, may become jam-packed with broken televisions, radios, boxes, containers, bottles, magazines, newspapers, bills, photos, expired coupons, food, and old clothes, leaving barely enough room to maneuver throughout the home.

The mental health community attributes hoarding behavior to a variety of both physical and psychological factors.

It may be considered a mechanism for coping; a symptom of depression, anxiety, or substance abuse; a result of cognitive impairment; an obsessive–compulsive disorder; or a number of other possible conditions.

Running slows aging and postpones disability, study finds

Regular running slows the effects of aging, according to a new study from the School of Medicine that tracked 500 older runners for more than 20 years. Elderly runners have fewer disabilities, a longer span of active life and are half as likely as nonrunners to die early deaths, the research found.

clipper's remarks: How do the components and function of youthful and older cells differ and what causes these differences?

Clip Source: juvenon.com

As we get older, our skin wrinkles and our energy level declines, along with our memory and cognitive ability. Many of us begin to develop age-associated diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and diabetes. Why is it happening?

Caloric Restriction in the 30s
One such observation, first reported over 70 years ago, described the health benefits of restricting the caloric intake of animals. By simply feeding them a little less per day, the animals’ life spans were increased by a whopping 40%.

Free Radicals in the 50s
Twenty years later, another observation essential to aging research was made. Denham Harman postulated that cellular damage could be produced by free radicals, both from the environment in the form of radiation and toxic chemicals, and within the cell itself during the process of converting food to energy. The intracellular conversion process takes place in the tiny structures (organelles) known as the mitochondria.
