LONG NOTES:
A new study published in Scientific Reports reported that high dietary intake of niacin “decreased the risk for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular-related death.” The study was a retrospective cohort review. The researchers also noted a steeper decline in the death rate for diabetic patients.
From Kevin: Air Pollution Associated With Increased Stroke Risk – A new study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology has reported that long-term exposure to air pollution “may increase the risk of ischemic stroke, especially in younger women and those with harmful lifestyle habits, such as smoking or alcohol consumption.”
Implant restores spine disc’s function. Video animation on how the spine implant from Israel’s Discure Technologies (see here previously) restores the natural pumping function of a damaged disc to cure back pain.
Three known essential fatty acids: Linoleic (omega-6), Alpha-linolenic (omega-3) and Pentadecanoic (C15:0)
Among the four nutritional risk screening tools, Prognostic Nutritional Index might be a simple and useful indicator in predicting the long-term prognosis in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation .
Impact of Obesity on Clinical Presentation and Surgical Outcomes in Patients with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia Receiving Greenlight Laser Prostatectomy. In BPH patients treated with GreenLight Laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), obese individuals were younger with larger prostates but had similar International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) scores compared to non-obese patients. Obese patients had lower preoperative and postoperative post-void residual (PVR), while non-obese patients saw greater PVR improvements. BMI plays a nuanced role BPH patients’ characteristics.
What Are Omega 3 & 6, And Why Are They So Important?
Pluvicto is a new drug advertised for prostate cancer. A pharmacist told me the side effects are severe with radiation risks to family. Risks outweigh the benefits.
Drawing from his years in surgery, Dr. Antinori highlights inefficiencies that are driving healthcare costs and burning out practitioners. From unnecessary defensive medicine to the burden of administrative costs, “Make America Healthy Again” explores why American healthcare feels “held together with duct tape.” Dr. Antinori’s ideas on reform, healthcare as a constitutional right, and a responsibly managed single-payer system offer fresh perspectives on an issue impacting millions. One of the book’s core messages, “do less to be healthier,” is an empowering, simple strategy for every American. Dr. Antinori advocates for consuming less red meat, processed foods, and alcohol, reducing time spent sedentary, and avoiding unnecessary medications. These small lifestyle shifts, he argues, can lower personal and national healthcare expenses, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
Latest Science has an article on a promising technology being developed to treat arthritis pain, but inserted a metal coating on the joint with a lubricant that eases joint pain.

Micronutrients for bone, brain, and immune health
By Emily Ho and Dusti Linnell
The Top 10 Project webpage, including new bone, brain, and immune health documents: lpi.oregonstate.edu/top-10-project
Chronic disease (6 in 10 in US) costs $3.5 trillion in health care.
US deficient in Vit C, D, E, K, calcium, Mg, K, zn 10%
Top 10 for aging well B6, B12, C, D, E, K, Ca, Mg, K, Zn
Brain health – multivitamin helps with brain health
Fish, almonds, oranges, blueberries, spinach, olive oil, broccoli, milk
Immune health = inflammaging, chronic inflammation
Both old and young are doing poorly in veggies and whole grains
FOODHERO.ORG/older-adults
Fish Stew recipe = B6, B12, vit C and D
Brussels sprouts, cranberry and bulgur vit C and Mg
Black-eyed peas (brings luck) and greens – vit E and K
Salmon, wild rice, carrots and sweet potatoes
High protein banana split
Salmon patties
Questions-
strengthen bones-avoid soda, weight bearing exercise, vitamin D, calcium (1,000 to 1,200mg – NO MORE), peak bone mass in your 20s. Menopause accelerates bone loss.
Exercise your brain – games, puzzles, change a behavior, nutrients
Vegetarians need B12 (yeast), iron and zinc
Allergic to fish and nuts – dairy products, bananas, potatoes,
Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory-big part of Mediterranean diet
DHA is the best Omega-3, not EPA
Read your labels on food you buy.
How your DNA is modified as you age. Figure shows the epigenetic modification target sites attributable to the phenotype category shown (see figure). So, epigenetic agingclocks don’t always “look” at the correct epigenetic modifications, but that’s OK. We can see the bad guys are in red, and the good guys are in blue.
