Purpose: To report a unique case of a woman who developed simultaneous bilateral maculopathy presumed to result from intake of sertraline hydrochloride, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Methods: Full clinical ocular examination, color vision testing, automated static perimetry, electroretinography, electrooculography and fundus fluorescein angiography were performed. Living members of her family were also examined. Results: The patient had normal electroretinography and electrooculography results. Automated static perimetry showed generalized reduction of sensitivity and central scotomas. Macular lesions resolved 6 months after discontinuation of sertraline, however, during twenty months of follow-up her visual acuity and abnormalities in other psychophysical tests did not improve. Conclusion: Patients started on sertraline should be informed of the potential risk of developing maculopathy, and they should be examined regularly to detect possible early alterations.

Skin Care - Your Body's Well Being - American Diabetes Association American Diabetes Association Home Page Search Print this page Email this page Skin Care Diabetes can affect every part of the body, including the skin. As many as one third of people with diabetes will have a skin disorder caused or affected by diabetes at some time in their lives. In fact, such problems are sometimes the first sign that a person has diabetes. Luckily, most skin conditions can be prevented or easily treated if caught early. Good Skin Care There are several things you can do to head off skin problems: Keep your diabetes well managed. People with high glucose levels tend to have dry skin and less ability to fend off harmful bacteria. Both conditions increase the risk of infection. Keep skin clean and dry. Use talcum powder in areas where skin touches skin, such as armpits and groin. Avoid very hot baths and showers. If your skin is dry, don't use bubble baths. Moisturizing soaps, such as Dove or Basis, may help. Afterward, use an oil-in-water skin cream, such as Lubriderm or Alpha-Keri. But don't put lotions between toes. The extra moisture there can encourage fungus to grow. Prevent dry skin. Scratching dry or itchy skin can open it up and allow infection to set in. Moisturize your skin to prevent chapping, especially in cold or windy weather. Treat cuts right away. Wash minor cuts with soap and water. Do not use Mercurochrome antiseptic, alcohol, or iodine to clean skin because they are too harsh. Only use an antibiotic cream or ointment if your doctor says it's okay. Cover minor cuts with sterile gauze. See a doctor right away if you get a major cut, burn, or infection. During cold, dry months, keep your home more humid. Bathe less during this weather, if possible. Use mild shampoos. Do not use feminine hygiene sprays. See a dermatologist (skin doctor) about skin problems if you are not able to solve them yourself. Take good care of your feet . Check them every day for sores and cuts. Wear broad, flat shoes that fit well. Check your shoes for foreign objects before putting them on.

Sea Salt also offers wonderful exfolliant benefits when rubbed on the skin. A Brief History Of The Via Salaria and Sea Salt: The Via Salaria (Salt Road) was one of the oldest roads in Italy. It was the route by which salt was transported from the coast to Rome. The ancient Romans went to great lengths to promote and preserve the salt trade in Italy, recognizing the many benefits of salt, as both a preservative and a health benefit. Salt took on a religious and social significance in the ancient world, as it was connected with the idea of a covenant, or binding relationship.

"Some people just have their heads frozen, believing that in the future they'll be able to use another body," said Tanya Jones, Alcor's chief operating officer. "If you're having your head frozen, it will cost $80,000. The whole body is $150,000." This omits any discussion of the method most folks - of very modest means - use to fund their suspension: life insurance . At the time of writing, a 30-year-old can get a 20 year term policy with a face value of $120,000 for as little as $180 per year if she is a non-smoker and in good health. Starving students can fund it - so you certainly can. You should look on a cryonic suspension agreement as a form of life insurance of its own; it's the best presently available option that gives some chance of avoiding irreversible death if it comes to that. Statistics and common sense tells us that we aren't all going to make it into the era of radical life extension . No-one likes to think about these things, but the consequences of failing to be responsible in any matters of insurance can be dire indeed. Technorati tags: cryonics , life extension Posted by Reason at 10:10 PM Permanent Link | View Comments (4) | Post Comment | TrackBack (0) -- Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Nitric Oxide and Stem Cells Nitric oxide seems to be showing up a fair bit of late in investigations of the biochemistry of stem cells and healing. Digging into the fundament is important - knowing the biochemistry of stem cells means knowing how to control stem cells , and that's the first step on a number of very useful roads . We have this from last month : ... a typical course of hyperbaric oxygen treatments increases by eight-fold the number of stem cells circulating in a patient's body. ... We reproduced the observations from humans in animals in order to identify the mechanism for the hyperbaric oxygen effect. We found that hyperbaric oxygen mobilizes stem/progenitor cells because it increases synthesis of a molecule called nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This synthesis is thought to trigger enzymes that mediate stem/progenitor cell release. Following that, more interesting research in the past few days : The problem is rooted in the body's response to vascular injury. The bone marrow churns out cells crucial to repairing the damaged lining of blood vessels. But sometimes they fail to report for duty. "Part of the defect we think is occurring in diabetic patients is these cells do not carry out appropriate repair, and therefore these patients are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and other complications," Segal said. ... UF researchers isolated these repair cells from blood samples drawn from patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease and studied them in the laboratory. The cells were unable to move about normally. But when nitric oxide gas was added, Segal said, the cells lost their rigidity, becoming suppler, and their ability to move dramatically improved. In the body, nitric oxide occurs naturally. It helps the repair cells move out of the bone marrow where they are made, and it opens blood vessels and improves the uptake of oxygen. Patients with diabetes, however, commonly have low levels of nitric oxide. "We went on to show that actually what's happening is nitric oxide is affecting the skeleton, or scaffold of the cell, and by adding nitric oxide we're able to rearrange the scaffold," Segal said. "When we rearrange the scaffold, the cells are able to migrate. The benefit of this is that when cells have improved movement they are able to repair the endothelium (the lining of the blood vessels) better and perhaps prevent atherosclerosis." Diabetes acts somewhat like accelerated aging in a number of ways, and has been used as a proxy for aging research in the past. Methodologies that offer the possibility of restoring failing stem cells to duty , or enhancing the capabilities of stem cells in the healthy, are intriguing, to say the least. Technorati tags: stem cell research Posted by Reason at 10:43 PM Permanent Link | View Comments (0) | Post Comment | TrackBack (0) -- Monday, January 23, 2006 Reminder: Sign Up For the Longevity Meme Newsletter Now that we're off into year four of the Longevity Meme weekly email newsletter , I think it's time for another of my very infrequent reminders to take the plunge and sign up . There's even an RSS feed for those of you who have progressed beyond email, and you can take a look back at the archive of past newsletters to see if you like what you see before diving in. Here's a thought for the day from the January 16th newsletter: If you're healthy, young, and manage to avoid appalling bad luck in the genetic sweepstakes, the future of your longevity and health over the next few decades is all up to you. The advance of medical science makes little difference one way or another - whether you wind up a wreck or not is a function of how you make use of the best strategies for healthy life extension available today - calorie restriction, supplementation, exercise, general good health practices ... the things that aren't rocket science. As time progresses, however, your remaining healthy life span will be determined ever more by the past rate of progress in longevity research - in other words, how effective the best affordable healthy life extension technologies have become. You have a chance today to make a difference in that rate of progress, to make the future of healthy life extension medicine arrive that much faster; wouldn't it be a good idea to take that chance? You should certainly do the best you can with the health tools, techniques and technologies of today, but also take time to consider the long-term view. Supporting medical research into extending healthy longevity is important - and it will become ever more important as time goes on that you made the effort to help the development of better longevity medicine. Technorati tags: life extension , newsletter Posted by Reason at 09:36 PM Permanent Link | View Comments (0) | Post Comment | TrackBack (0) -- Sunday, January 22, 2006 A Little Economics and Healthy Life Extension Following up on a recent call for an economic analysis of staged radical life extension - progression through ever-better medical technologies and ever-greater extensions of healthy life span to reach a form of actuarial escape velocity , always a step ahead of age-related degeneration - Michael Rae has unearthed a 1979 Laurence J. Kotlikoff paper entitled "Some Economic Implications of Life Span Extension" that I think you'll find interesting. The full PDF version is online , a graphic reminder of a time in which typewriters ruled the earth: This paper is concerned with the following question: what would the economy look like if we suddenly discovered the fountain of youth? While this question may seem fanciful, a growing number of contemporary Ponce de Leons with impressive scientific credentials argue that there is a significant chance of unraveling the mystery of aging in the near future. ... In this paper I concentrate on the implications of life span extension for aggregate factor supply and economic welfare. While this the major focus of the paper, I also devote some space to consideration of life span extension's impact on the economy's skill composition and on existing economic institutions, including the social security system. The major conclusion I draw from my work is that the expansion of working and total life spans should significantly increase economic welfare. ... Throughout the paper, "life span extension" is taken to mean keeping people young for longer periods of time. This is quite different from what one conventionally means by life span extension, namely, keeping old people alive for longer periods. Ah, how we still struggle with this young (healthy) life extension versus old life extension perception today! We call it the Tithonus Error . As we all know, the past generation of advocates failed to establish a research program to match that devoted to cancer or even AIDS, and the widespread public support and understanding such a program requires. The science turned out, as it always does, to be far more complex than anticipated. Hence today we can read a paper set down in 1979 with few signs of its date beyond the typefont. We must do far better now and over the next 25 years - hundreds of millions of lives will be lost if we fail again. On a slightly related topic, the Wall Street Journal ran a prominent article on the legal methodologies of keeping your finances frozen and yours while in cryonic suspension and thus legally dead. The full text is posted at transhumantech as is usual for this sort of thing: At least a dozen wealthy businessmen who plan to be frozen after death are testing unfamiliar legal territory by creating so-called personal revival trusts designed to allow them to reclaim their riches years into the future.

Max More notes: In case anyone is looking for an excuse to pick up a copy of Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine, note that the March 2006 issue (now available) features my cover article, "How to Live Forever." Flip past the lovely Victoria to p.43 and you'll find it. Have fun. In addition, the February issue of Life Extension Magazine will feature a Ben Best interview with Aubrey de Grey , covering a range of topics of interest: the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) , the MPrize , fundraising and advocacy for healthy life extension science, cryonics and the state of scientific anti-aging research today. Keep an eye out for it. Lastly, the full text of the New Scientist article on aging and mitochondrial science - the piece that prompted a clarifying response from researcher Rafal Smigrodzki - has found its way to the transhumantech list . Take a look and see what you think - overenthusiasm on the part of the author or not? For more information on the work Smigrodzki is a part of - and its relevance to repairing age-related cellular damage - you might want to look back at the Fight Aging! archives . To my mind this research group certainly deserves the attention they are receiving.

Here we are mainly interested in the macroeconomic question, i.e. "cost" is to be understood as how much it costs to administer the therapies (and possibly also to develop them in the first place) rather than how much they might be sold for. Plenty of work has of course been done on this in respect of much more modest [life extension], but no one has quite had the nerve to do it for therapies that conferred escape velocity . I am in touch with people with the necessary enabling technology (datasets, software) to develop such forecasts, but it would probably still be a substantial project. If there are any volunteers who feel they have the right sort of expertise (which means pretty good maths, not just computing) and also a chunk of time to dedicate, please speak up. No guarantees that we can make such a project happen, but we'd like to try. A discussion is ongoing at the Immortality Institute forums ; if this catches your interest, you should certainly drop by and speak up. You might also want to look back in the Fight Aging! archives at a view of the future of retirement (or absence of same), some thoughts on social security and age-related frailty , and commentary on the utter mess that is modern Western-style "social security" .

These cards are a helpful educational tool for certain demographics, so it seems worth noting that you can now buy hardcopy decks of the cards at the SAGE Crossroads website. I can think of at least a few folks amongst the regular readers who will appreciate that. Get your very own collection of SAGECrossroads Trading Cards! This first edition pack includes 50 cards featuring leading researchers working to unlock the mysteries of aging. Each card includes a photograph, quick summary of the researcher's work, and essential information such as specialty and favorite gene. While I'm on the subject, I'll say that I think it's a shame SAGE Crossroads has fallen off the publishing wagon of late. I suppose the powers that be have more or less curtailed the experiment; as I understand it, the website never achieved the level of popularity that would make it a good investment at the price. Less politics and more science would have garnered more inbound links from my side of the camp, but - judging by the distressing popularity of all things politics these days - that may be poor advice for any listening webmaster-to-be.
