Myriad Genetics to Present at the SVB Leerink Global Healthcare Conference - Yahoo Finance

Yesterday I flew down to Grand Cayman to once again allow some of my patients access to advanced cultured stem cells. This morning I would also like to compare and contrast what we do here from whats done in Panama. Hence, this will be one of my first official Panama stem cell clinic reviews.

The cell therapies offered in the US are either autologous (from the patient) or allogeneic (from a donor). The only therapy in the US that has real stem cells and thats currently permitted by US law is bone marrow concentrate. All other donor cell offerings such as umbilical cord or amniotic tissue have no live and functional mesenchymal stem cell content (1-3).

Outside the US, the big difference is that the cells can be grown to larger numbers in a process called culture expansion. This means that the stem cells are grown over days to weeks in culture. They can also be saved for future use in cryopreservation.

There are three places close to the US that allow cells to be culture expanded and that have been around and stable for years. They are:

Today I will compare and contrast Regenexx Cayman with the Stem Cell Institute in one of my first Panama stem cell clinic reviews.

So why did I fly down to the Cayman Islands yesterday to treat my patients versus fly to Panama? As I have blogged before, the problem with Panama and Mexico and many Latin American clinics is that these countries dont usually permit US physicians to get a medical license. US patients have become very accustomed to the level of training we have in the states, but those US physicians cant be found in Latin America. Hence, one reason is that US physicians can and are licensed in Grand Cayman.

Another big difference is the technology offered. In Grand Cayman, the focus is on using the patients own stem cells from bone marrow and growing those in culture. In Panama, birth tissue cells are culture expanded. If we look at the amount of data published in human clinical trials on the use of cultured stem cells for orthopedic problems, theres simply much more safety and efficacy data published using bone marrow than birth tissues.

Finally, as I always discuss, precise injections of stem cells into specific areas require advanced training and tools. Meaning, the doctors in Cayman (including myself) are all US physicians who have additional training (certifications through IOF) on the use of fluoroscopy and ultrasound in how to place cells into the damaged musculoskeletal system. Having treated patients who were first treated in Panama, what you tend to get is blind and not image-guided advanced injections.

Heres a real patient stem cell order form the Cayman clinic this morning:

These are highly complex injections using both ultrasound and C-arm fluoroscopy. They cant be performed by an orthopedic surgeon or neurologist who doesnt have additional and advanced interventional training and there is no way to replicate these in Panama. In fact, from the patients that Ive treated who have also been treated there, the best that they could do would be blind injections in the knee, hand, and shoulder joints and to start an IV.

The upshot? Im here in Cayman instead of Panama because its the most advanced site close to the US to get orthopedic stem cell therapy. It allows US physicians to get licensed and only permits doctors who have advanced image-guided injection training to staff the clinic. Finally, there are the tools here that I need to do my work.

Panama Stem Cell Clinic Reviews - Regenexx

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) -- Imagine the pain from nerve damage so severe you can hardly move, but hope for relief is being offered by a company pitching stem cell injections that dont come cheap

Ron Elliott may be willing to endure financial pain.

Elliott, a Neuropathy sufferer said, It could be $5,000 or so and whether insurance would cover any of it or not.

Thats the low-end cost of stem cell injections pitched by Vitality Nebraska in advertised seminars at metro area hotel conference rooms.

Vitality Nebraska presentation said, The reason this works so well is because of the source of the stem cells were using, very young vital capable cells from Dr. Riordans lab.

Neil Riordans resume lists a leading stem cell laboratory in Panama.

Many pain sufferers, mostly senior citizens attend the seminars and our request to record was denied, so Dr. James Billups wore a hidden camera.

The next day after the needle went in there it made me feel better, read the presentation.

Dr. James Billups said, They make broad claims on the ability to do this. Everything they presented was anecdotal and anecdotal is not science.

In a statement to Six on Your Side Vitality, Nebraska states, each patient is evaluated by a licensed practitioner to see if regenerative medicine is a viable option. We do not make any promises or guarantees.

Some of the worlds leading research in the use of stem cells for treatment is being done here at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. We brought the seminar video here to get a second and third opinion.

Dr. James Armtage an Oncologist said, You need to know for example with stem cells how are the cells being made, there are standards for the use of these things.

Dr. Lynell Klassen an Immunologist said, Its hard for me to understand how those cells would actually stay around long enough to repurpose itself and transform and reprogram in order to be a functioning cell.

TOKYO A Japanese man with a sweet tooth who believes in smiles has become the worlds oldest male at 112 years and 344 days old, according to Guinness World Records.

Chitetsu Watanabe, who was born in Niigata in northern Japan in 1907, received a certificate for his accomplishment on Wednesday at a nursing home in the city.

The previous record holder, Masazo Nonaka, another Japanese, died last month. The oldest living person is also Japanese, Kane Tanaka, a 117-year-old woman.

Until about a decade ago, Watanabe used to do bonsai, the Japanese traditional art of raising small sculpted trees, and had his work exhibited.

These days, he loves desserts such as custards and cream puffs, Guinness said.

Watanabe graduated from agricultural school and then moved to Taiwan to work at Dai-Nippon Meiji Sugar on sugar cane plantation contracts.

He lived in Taiwan for 18 years. He married Mitsue and they had five children, Guinness said in a statement.

After the end of World War II, Watanabe returned to Niigata and worked for the prefectural government until retirement. He also grew fruit and vegetables on the family farm.

Asked about the secret to longevity, Watanabe has this advice: Dont get angry and keep smiling.

Worlds oldest man, 112, shares the secret to longevity - Tampa Bay Times

I want to start by congratulating Damian [Green] and the whole APPG on the brilliant work youve done to get this issue onto the agenda.

Today is a day for detailed discussion about the proposals in your new Strategy.

But before we get to the policy I want to say a few words about the (small-p) politics.

Among policymakers especially in government our ageing society has traditionally been framed as a problem, a liability.

A source of pressure on public services. An unwelcome modern trend, like cybercrime or falling bee numbers.

But this is looking at things through the wrong end of the telescope.

Because of course its great news were all living longer.

And language matters. The words we use colour perception.

So lets hear less about our ageing society, and more about healthy longevity.

Less about the burden and the pressure and more about the reward of getting this right.

Because our final years should be an act of enjoyment. Not a task of endurance.

That positive framing is important because too often as a society we sweep these issues under the carpet.

We dont like to think about getting older. We dont like to think about our bodies failing. So we dont give healthy ageing the attention it deserves.

Which brings me to the policy question.

For most of the 70 years the NHS has been in existence weve focused on life span.

This has seen extraordinary successes.

Mass-vaccination. The collapse in the adult smoking rate from 45% in the 1970s to 14% today.

But as the NHS enters its eighth decade, it needs to focus more on health span: the number of years a person can expect to live healthily and independently.

In our manifesto we committed to an extra 5 healthy years by 2035. This is the primary long-term clinical goal weve set the NHS.

Both parts are important: extra years and healthy years. Adding years to life, and life to years.

The next question is how do we get there?

Today I want to touch on 3 things.

The first is place and its relationship to people.

Because however you choose to measure the evidence is clear: your chance of a healthy old age is closely tied to where you live.

A man born in Blackpool can expect only 53 years of healthy life, while a man born in Buckingham gets 68.

Thats wrong.

Tackling this postcode inequality matters to this government. Its what we mean when we talk about levelling up.

The underlying factors are a complex interaction between demography and economy.

But because healthcare inequalities are geographically concentrated, it means we can take a targeted approach.

This starts with improving access to healthcare.

50 million more GP appointments. 50,000 more nurses. 40 new hospitals. Its what those flagship commitments are all about.

And we can boost access even further: by using more of our brilliant community pharmacists as a first port of call for people seeking primary care, by using technology to reduce the burden on clinicians, by having everyone in every part of the NHS operating right at the top of their licence.

But having the right NHS services is just one part of building healthier places.

Its about warm, properly insulated homes, low-crime neighbourhoods, and action on the environment like our cross-government work on air quality.

Its the kind of urban design that supports healthy living, more opportunities for walking and cycling bearing down on the 40% of car journeys that are less than 2 miles.

This is something that the Prime Minister is strongly personally committed to, and our announcement yesterday of 250 miles of new cycling routes is another milestone on that journey.

One of the biggest health impacts a place can have is whether it supports good local jobs.

By good jobs I mean jobs that are purposeful and rewarding, not just well paid. Where employers invest in things like mental health or muscular-skeletal support as part and parcel of being a good employer.

And this absolutely includes jobs in the NHS.

As one of the countrys biggest employers, the NHS can have an outsized impact on the opportunities available to local communities.

For example, Im proud of the work were doing with the Princes Trust to get 10,000 school leavers job-ready for roles in the NHS and social care.

The second part of this agenda and closely linked to place is a recognition that healthy longevity is not just the NHS.

Only around a quarter of what leads to longer, healthier lives is the result of what goes on in hospitals.

The rest is down to genetics, the environment, and the lifestyle choices we make.

Yes, we can and we should use the infrastructure of the NHS to help support healthier choices. Measures like dedicated alcohol care teams in hospitals, or targeted anti-smoking interventions aimed at CVD patients.

But increasingly we understand that there are effective, non-clinical approaches to healthier living and ageing.

Look at the use of homeshares to tackle loneliness. Bringing together people with spare rooms and people who are happy to chat and lend a hand around the house in return for affordable accommodation.

Or take the social prescribing revolution.

A growing body of evidence suggests that activities like joining a book group or singing in a choir or learning to play an instrument can have huge health and wellbeing benefits.

Benefits that include everything from sleep quality to reduced anxiety to improved memory.

Over the next few years we want to bring these kinds of treatments to almost a million people.

Weve set up a National Academy for Social Prescribing to aimed at making the NHS a world-leader in this field.

Third, and this wont be a surprise coming from me, is better technology.

More proactive, preventative healthcare depends on a strong data infrastructure. On being able to link disparate datasets from different parts of the system to create a complete narrative about a persons care.

Lets take an example.

We know that atrial fibrillation irregular heartbeat is a common cause of stroke, but the risk varies from person to person.

By analysing lots of different data points for atrial fibrillation patients age, frailty, previous bleeding and so on you can create an individualised risk score.

In turn, this allows GPs to take pre-emptive action, for example prescribing anticoagulants.

In the past assembling all the information needed to produce that score was so time-consuming as to be impractical. It was held on different databases in different formats, often as free text rather than machine-readable code.

But now we can do it with AI.

In fact, a team right here at Kings Dr Dan Bean and Dr Paul Scott have built an AI tool thats able to replicate the analysis of human experts in a fraction of the time.

Adult social care is increasingly a site of healthtech innovation.

Internet-linked devices can help people live at home for longer and stay connected to family and friends.

They can also help providers deliver smarter, more responsive care.

For example, theres a provider up in Warwickshire WCS Care doing great things with acoustic monitoring.

The tech lets the staff hear crying or breathing problems, sending an alert to a monitoring station staffed by a night manager.

It means that staff arent knocking on residents doors every hour and disturbing people.

Everyone sleeps better, and staff estimate that night-time falls have reduced by 34%.

Interestingly, when they analysed the data they found that lots of people were staying awake late into the night.

This led the care home to set up a wide awake club to support night owls and get them back into a healthier rhythm.

I want to spread this kind of innovation far and wide, and Ive set up a dedicated adult social care unit in NHSX.

This will focus on setting technical standards, improving data sharing, enhancing skills and fixing the digital infrastructure.

Like longevity itself, better tech is an opportunity we wholeheartedly embrace.

Ill end where I began, and this is the message I want to leave you with.

Longer life is not a problem to be tackled but a goal to be pursued.

And not just for government, or even the NHS, but for each and every one of us.

Theres a huge prize ahead if we get this right: 5 more years of healthy life. More enjoyment out of life. More time for the things that matter most in life.

Im looking forward to working with you all to make it happen.

The rest is here:

KEY POINTS

Zion Williamson is as good as advertised but his weight remains a critical issue. Being the third heaviest player behind Tacko Fall and Boban Marjanovic, there is no question that the top pick of the 2019 NBA Draft needs to shed off some weight if he wants to play pro ball continuously.

Currently at 284 pounds, Williamson is about the same weight as Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets. Among the top five players in the NBA, he is the only one who is undersized and is not a center. Though most reason that Charles Barkley was able to survive with that frame during his prime, the NBA today is far different.

For now, all Williamson can do is heed the advice of the New Orleans Pelicans. He needs to think long-term and be made aware that longevity counts, ESPN reported. The good news is that the 19-year-old is listening, aware that all of this is for his own good. He sat out the game against their game against the Indiana Pacers but returned emphatically with a star-caliber performance against the Portland Trail Blazers, Yahoo Sports reported.

The minutes of Williamson for the Pelicans for the remainder of the season will be interesting. New Orleans currently sits at the 11th spot of the NBA Western Conference with a 23-31 win-loss card. With a string of wins, the Pels could catch the last bus to the NBA playoffs. However, they are likely to encounter rough sailing getting beyond the first round.

New Orleans could be tempted to field in Williamson and go beyond the managed minutes they have in place. But the risk behind that could be catastrophic, placing the former Duke Blue Devil's future at risk. Based on his showing against the Blazers, there is no denying that Williamson is a future star but adjustments are needed as far as his playing weight is concerned.

Williamson is likely to work on his weight problem by the summer. If he intends to play continuously and longer, he needs to burn some calories and reach the ideal playing weight for a 6-foot-6 individual. A look at multicare.org shows that someone who stands at that height would ideally have a weight ranging from 193 to 235 lbs. Doing the math, this means Williamson will need to shed off about 50 pounds or more to be at his optimum best. This could also help address potential injuries such as his knees, something that kept him from playing the earlier part of the 2019-20 NBA season.

Zion Williamson seems bent on joining the Phoenix Suns next NBA season.

The 2020 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos shone its annual January spotlight on global concerns with a lot of expert dialogue. As always, the mindset of organizational leadership was focused on the search for solutions and in todays world, the challenges feel especially urgent.

Consider a few of the themes that emerged this year at Davos. There was, for example, a high level of debate about how to measure progress on topics such as environmental, social and governance (ESG)-aligned investing and achieving positive societal change and sustainability. And the issue of longevity and the realities of living longer and working longer face all organizations.

Climate change was very much top of mind, though, as reflected in the 2020 Global Risks Report published by the WEF with the support of Marsh & McLennan, in which the top five risks cited in the report had to do with climate. Measuring real change and avoiding greenwashing (unsubstantiated claims about environmental benefits) is important. Companies making efforts to achieve positive change are driven by a desire to do the right thing as well as to stay ahead of looming regulation. This is driving innovation for example, in shipping, where global firms have self-regulated and are working to reduce emissions through new designs and technology.

Unsurprisingly, there was much discussion of the risk of a pandemic, given the current coronavirus outbreak in China. However, the risk of noncommunicable diseases was recognized as a bigger issue. Most countries spend increasingly more on managing health, but its just as important to continue investing in good health promotion, especially disease prevention and addressing social determinants of health to keep people out of hospitals, as that is where the cost of health care dramatically rises. This becomes even more important in the context of todays aging populations.

Meanwhile, innovative investors are taking action to address key global risks, as noted at an executive dialogue at Davos focused on Transformational Investment. A panel of leaders from sovereign wealth and pension funds large-asset funds that can make a real difference in world markets discussed how they can transform capitalism through co-investment and co-creation with business partners. Together they are addressing risks such as climate change, water scarcity, populism and extreme weather events.

Another key theme: While theres been increased momentum toward achieving gender diversity, we still have far to go, according to the newest WEF Gender Gap Report. The discussion on gender diversity has shifted from building the case to putting plans into action, and there are more men in the conversation. A hopeful view is that we have built some muscle for gender diversity, which gives us a path to drive other forms of diversity, including age diversity.

Mercers 2020 When Women Thrive, Businesses Thrive research, to be released in March, was previewed at Davos as well. Some bright spots: 86% of participating companies say improving D&I is high or very high on their agenda, and 66% say senior executives are now actively engaged in D&I. And nearly half (48%) of companies say that men are engaged in gender equality efforts, up from 38% in 2016. Plus, the number of women at executive levels has increased 3% since 2016.

Unfortunately, the new research also shows that companies are behind in the area of accountability for D&I progress. Slow progress on that front calls for leaders who align the values of diversity and inclusion throughout the organization not just as a mandate, but as a powerful component of the culture.

Another Davos event, focused on longevity, Redesigning Retirement for Longer Working Lives, got to the heart of the challenge.

Lets be clear. Longevity is one aspect of a brighter future for the worlds workforce, so long as organizations and leadership get it right. It calls for a change of mindset, adapted health care and savings programs, more opportunities for continuous learning and, of course, longer careers. Its a chance for employers and experienced workers to embrace upskilling, reskilling and continuously adapting.

Theres no doubt that longevity is a serious social issue. Life expectancies are increasing globally, and children born today are likely to live beyond the age of 100. Already, at many of Mercers clients, the ratio of employees 50 years and older compared to the rest of the workforce has doubled in just five years with people living and working longer, its clear much of our world will look much older in the years ahead.

In partnership with Mercer, the WEFexamined data for retirement savings, including both government and company pensions as well as individual savings, from eight major economies. In the U.S., it is expected that people will outlive their savings by almost 10 years. When we look at Europe, the gap grows to 11.5 years, and in Japan its nearly 18 years.

A number of large employers and policymakers in countries and industry sectors most affected by an aging population attended the Mercer longevity event and crafted practical solutions to some of our identified personas. For example:

The longevity event at Davos offered an optimistic view, and attendees seemed passionate about the possibilities. Longevity is a reality that companies and employees cant ignore if theyre going to build sustainable futures over the short- and long term. Events like this can help organizations and their leaders to find their purpose, and purpose-led companies are destined for the long haul. They are the sort of companies that define Davos to make the future brighter for everyone.

With more than 140 years of heritage to its name, the homegrown TCM brand is still breaking new ground in Singapore

Eu Yan Sang may have started off in Singapore with one clinic in 2002, but today, the brand has more than 20 traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinics islandwidea new addition at Chinatown Point recently opened in October 2019.

The brands clinics have three different concepts, each catering to a different need. The Eu Yan Sang TCM Clinic serves patients in the heartlands and aims to help with acute and chronic illnesses, while the Eu Yan Sang TCM Wellness Clinic helps patients with sub-health, skin as well as weight and pain management; it offers travel health solutions for busy executives, too. The Eu Yan Sang Premier TCM Centre is managed by a team of experienced physicians who are trained to manage complex or chronic health conditions through a combination of prescribed herbal medication, acupuncture, tui na and cupping.

(Related: Now A Century-Old, Eu Yan Sang Has Transformed Holistic Healthcare)

Eu Yan Sangs longevity can be credited to its balanced use of technology and tradition. While it prioritises a holistic health and wellness approach thats based on its centuries-old TCM heritage, Eu Yan Sang has simultaneously built a reputation for quality, safety and innovation.

We aim to demystify TCM for the modern patient through continuous learning and by upgrading and adapting our practices, which are supported by rigorous standards in terms of structures, processes and controls, explains Lim Swee Cheng, general manager (clinic services and operational excellence) at Eu Yan Sang.

Michael Cusumano agrees. Hes a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who spearheaded entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives at the Tokyo University of Science from 2016 to 2017, and lived and worked in Japan for eight years. Closing a company or selling it is also considered something of a failure and shame in Japan, and this feeling goes back centuries. So these cultural issues also seem to encourage families to keep firms going, he says. Japanese society, and the economy, is not as flexible as the US, and so Japan does not generate big new firms so easily. The tendency is to preserve what they have.

Yet shinise companies arent exempt from hardship. Kongo Gumi, a construction company founded back in 578, lasted a staggering 1,400 years before going into liquidation in 2006 due to debt. In the future, Matsuzaki believes that there will be benefits in combining the strengths of the two business models.

The key will be to foster more synergy between shinise companies and start-ups, she says. Shinise companies strength in resources, their reputation in the industry, [a] strong network. By mixing new technology and rapid decision-making with shinise, she thinks start-ups can become a lethal weapon for Japan's future.

Yet back at Tsuen Tea, current owner Tsuen has no such lofty goals. I was born here by chance. My ancestors continued the tea business and Im taking over, Tsuen says. My goal is not to make the company bigger or expand sales or go worldwide. Whats most important is to just continue this.

Another way to support a healthy gut as we age, as well as a healthy brain, is getting your healthy fats. For Sinclair, who went through the '90s anti-fat fiasco, realizing he could still enjoy healthy fats was a breakthrough.

"I used to avoid fat like the plague because of recommendations from nutritionists. I would love to get my childhood back, to be able to eat that stuff. [Now] I eat cheese, and I eat yogurt. And I think I'm healthier than I ever was. But you can't eat the same quantity of cheese as you do plant food. You'd just gain too much weight."

And as far as his favorites, Sinclair says, "If I eat meat, I eat fish if I have a choice. And then I take my omega-3s.I always have a couple of avocados in the fridge or on the table. Avocado oil is fantastic for sure. And olive oil, I'm becoming more and more convinced is the thing to do, so I've always put liberal amounts on bread and on salads."

If you're serious about hacking your longevity, Sinclair is the guy to listen to. In the full podcast, he says we may eventually be calling aging a disease, but until then, including these foods in your daily rotation will help fuel your body and mind to feel your best.

A pair of juniors and a pair of true freshmen pitchers will need to transition into starters quickly in order to fill the biggest holes in Cal Poly Baseballs roster.

Junior righthander Taylor Dollard and junior southpaw Andrew Alvarez bring experience to the weekend pitching ranks, while freshmen righthanders Drew Thorpe and Derek True will be jumping straight into the action in their first collegiate season.

Were thin, but weve got a good group of guys that work hard, pitching coach Jake Silverman said. Its going to take every single one of them for us to be successful this year

Cal Poly lost two All-Big West first team pitchers from last season. Friday starter Bobby Ay (9-1, 3.27 ERA) was a ninth round draft pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks while top reliever Michael Clark (6-3, 2.61 ERA, eight saves) graduated.

Dollard (5-0, 2.89 ERA, 4 saves) will take over as the Friday starter.

The last two years, [Dollards] just been a huge impact on this team, Alvarez said. Now, having him as a Friday starter, hes hopefully going to take the role of Bobby Ay and exceed that level.

Dollard was also an All-Big West first team selection following his successful sophomore season as a reliever. Cal Polys season opener against Connecticut on Friday, Feb. 14 will be his first collegiate start.

Ive been working really hard to become a starter, Dollard said. Its something Ive wanted since I stepped on campus.

Dollards most impressive performance came in Cal Polys final match of the season against UC Santa Barbara. In the Friday game, Dollard pitched two hitless innings and recorded four strikeouts. The next day, he pitched six innings in relief to continue the Mustangs hopes of reaching the postseason.

Dollard has had success out of the bullpen for his entire Cal Poly career. He earned three wins and three saves through 19 appearances as a freshman in the 2018 season. Last season, he improved to five wins and four saves through another 19 appearances.

When it comes to attitude and mentality, he has it, Silverman said. The biggest thing for him is learning the longevity of a season with 15 starts.

Alvarez (1-3, 5.10 ERA), who began the 2019 season as a reliever, will be the Saturday starter.

The junior southpaw will be completing his transition into a starting pitcher, which began last year. In the last six weeks of the 2019 season, Alvarez had six starts.

It was something I didnt really expect coming into my sophomore year, Alvarez said. Before, I was just a lefty specialist. One or two at bats a night. Then, I was facing multiple hitters, multiple innings. So its really allowed me to grow.

When transitioning from a reliever to a starter, the focus is on shifting the pitchers mindset to be focused on longevity, according to Silverman.

When youre a starter, youre going to take punches and youre going to take some hits, Silverman said. You gotta just keep working through those and pitching out of problems.

A pair of true freshman will round out the pitching lineup. Drew Thorpe, from Washington, Utah is expected to be the Sunday starter while Santa Barbara native Derek True will be the Tuesday opener.

Thorpe had a 7-1 record and a 1.93 ERA in his senior season at Desert Hills High School. A three-time All-Utah honoree, Thorpe said he was excited when head coach Larry Lee told him he would begin the season as a starter.

Its what Ive been working for since I got here, Thorpe said. As a freshman, thats pretty cool to come in and be one of the weekend guys.

Hes a guy that can eat up a lot of innings because he has the ability to get you out in multiple ways, Silverman said. Hes the type of guy that has some longevity with what hes going to do too.

True, also a righthander, had a perfect 9-0 season with a 2.20 ERA to close out his career at Santa Barbara High School.

Coming here to play for coach lee, its just an honor, True said. Not too many people can say that. Hes one of the best coaches in the country, if not the best. So having that opportunity was a no-doubter for me.

In his senior season, True was named the league MVP after recording 75 strikeouts over 57 1/3 innings. Silverman called True a really nice surprise.

Hes got a chance to throw really hard and have power stuff, Silverman said. He just has to learn how to wrangle that in He has the makings to be something special.

The Mustangs will begin its tough non-conference schedule at the MLB4 Tournament in Scottsdale, Ariz. from Feb. 14-16. After facing Connecticut Friday, Cal Poly will take on defending national champion Vanderbilt on Saturday and runner-up Michigan on Sunday.

The older guys, they have experience So theyve been battle tested, Silverman said. The younger guys, they just have to learn from it. theyre going to take the licks a little bit, but as long as they just take the experience that they get and use it day to day, itll be an incredible information gathering on their behalf to get better.

I am 62 and have only just reached the marmalade years (The preserve of a long life, G2, 10 February), but I hope your readers enjoy my marmalade poem:

I am turning into somebody elsesomebody who makes marmalade.

Somebody who rolls a cool thick Sevilleagainst her cheekbreathing in the smell of Spainin the dusk of Devon.

Somebody who cuts thin peelskimming golden frothfrom amber soupin a January kitchen.

When did this happen?Watching the teaspoon for the set,boiling the jarswriting tidy labels.

I should be wearinga white dressgazing up through blossomat a Spanish blue sky

biting into olive flesh,and running my fingersalong red wallswarm with secrets

instead of lining upnine jars of sun.

(First published in Exclamat!on Vol 1 and Moor Poets Vol IV)Helen ScaddingDartington, Devon

Clearly Im not yet in my marmalade years. I proudly took a jar my partner and I had made to my 90-year-old marmalade-producing dad as a gift on Saturday. On Sunday morning I got up to find him improving the jars contents by reboiling it in a saucepan. Later I found the gift back in its jar and in my bag ready to be taken home. Those born between the wars may well have the edge on marmalade producing. Im not so sure about manners. Jan StillawayLondon

My mother had her 100th birthday last summer, and we made marmalade together a couple of weeks ago when I visited her from France. We needed to as she consumes up to a jar a week, and my sister cant keep her supplied. I think that is evidence for marmalade contributing to longevity. That and sloe gin.Clare RonaldRiec sur Belon, France

A vast body of evidence demonstrates that exercising regularly offers a bulwark against life-threatening complications, such as heart disease. The case for exercise could not be clearer but when it comes to how much you need to do to extend your lifespan, the jury is often out. Research is increasingly shedding light on this area, however, and one study shows that even a little exercise can go a long way.

The NHS recommends adults should do at least 150 minutes (two hours and 30 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as cycling or fast walking, every week to reap the health benefits.

While the more exercise you do the better, according to findings published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, even partaking in 10 minutes of exercise a week a day can reduce your risk of developing life-threatening complications.

The study was based on data from more than 88,000 U.S. adults who participated in the National Health Interview Survey between 1997 and 2008. All of the participants were ages 40 to 85 and did not have any chronic diseases when they took the survey.

They also provided demographic and health information, and were tracked by researchers for about nine years.

About 8,000 people died during the follow-up period, and the researchers found virtually any amount of exercise reduced the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease, cancer or any other cause.

What was particularly noteworthy is the study found participants who did just 10 to 59 minutes of light-to-moderate intensity physical activity each week had an 18 percent lower risk of early death than people who were sedentary.

The findings also revealed they also had a 12 percent lower risk of dying from cardiovascular issues during the study and a 14 percent lower risk of dying from cancer.

Whats more, these reductions in risk increased the more people exercised.

People who got 60 to 149 minutes of light-to-moderate exercise per week had a 22 percent lower risk of early death than sedentary people, and those who got 150 to 299 minutes had a 31 percent reduced risk.

In addition, those who engaged in 300 to 449 minutes of light-to-moderate physical activity per week was linked to a three percent lower risk of dying during the study period.

Out of all of the exercises available, aerobic exercise comes out on top for its myriad health benefits.

One of the primary health benefits of doing aerobic exercise is it helps keep visceral fat at bay.

Visceral fat is a harmful form of belly fat that lies close to internal organs and can trigger a range of deadly mechanisms in the body.

Emphasising the effectiveness of aerobic activity to attack visceral fat, many studies have shown that aerobic exercise can help you lose visceral fat, even without dieting.

For example, an analysis of 15 studies in 852 people compared how well different types of exercise reduced visceral fat without dieting.

They found moderate and high-intensity aerobic exercises were most effective at reducing visceral fat without dieting.

Aerobic exercise generally refers to any activity that gets your heart pumping and makes you breath faster than you normally would when resting.

Walking, jogging, biking, dancing, and swimming are popular examples of aerobic activity.

Of course, it is also important to compliment an exercise regime with a healthy, balanced diet too.

The NHS advises eating a low-fat, high-fibre diet, which should include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (five portions a day) and whole grains.

How to live longer: Do this much exercise each week to increase your life expectancy - Express

About 250,000 Americans die a year as a direct result of sedentary lifestyles.

The larger share of these deaths is more directly attributable to the development ofcardiovascular diseases. Many Americans lack either the time or the funds to commit to a gym membership which means fighting chronic inactivity begins with affordable ways to maintain physical fitness.

Thankfully, a study published in the JAMA Network Open recently became the first to identify push-up capacity as a preemptive correlate of poor heart health.

More discreetly, the researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Healthposited that middle-aged men who can complete 40 push-ups or more in a single try evidence a reduced risk of developing deadly cardiovascular diseases compared to individuals who can complete no more than ten push-ups in a single try.

Our findings provide evidence that push-up capacity could be an easy, no-cost method to help assess cardiovascular disease risk in almost any setting. Surprisingly, push-up capacity was more strongly associated with cardiovascular disease risk than the results of submaximal treadmill tests, explained the studys first authorJustin Yang, occupational medicine resident in theDepartment of Environmental Healthat Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Push-up capacity is a no-cost, fast, and simple measure that may be a useful and objective clinical assessment tool for evaluating functional capacity and cardiovascular disease risk

There are several aspects of physical fitness that can be instructive for subsequent heart disease outcomes.

Calisthenics and resistance training are great waysto decrease blood pressure and stress put upon the heart. When performed correctly habitually doing push-ups can achieve the aforementioned benefits and even provide a dependable measure of an individuals longevity.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Robust evidence indicates an association of increased physical fitness with a lower risk of CVD events and improved longevity; however, few have studied simple, low-cost measures of functional status, the authors wrote in the report.

In order to determine the most effective and affordable methods of maintaining fitness, the researchers beganby reviewing health data from 1,104 male firefighters recorded annually between the years of 2000 and 2010. The average age of the participants was 39 and the median body-mass-index was about 28.7

Each participant was instructed to perform as many push-ups as they could in a single-try. These trials persisted over the course of ten years.

By the end of the study period, 37 participants developed a heart disease related condition 36 of these firefighters were not able to complete 40 push-ups in the initial trial. Although the researchers additionally tested treadmill endurance no discernible association was established between these demonstrations and the development of cardiovascular diseases.

More trials need to be done to determine if these outcomes could be replicated in women, younger men, and subjects who are less active than the firefighters involved in the study.

To perform a proper push-up make sure that your hands are shoulder-width apart or wider, your elbows are at a 45-degree angle as you bend towards the ground, and that your fingers are spread, with your middle finger pointing towards 12 oclock.

Push-up capacity is a no-cost, fast, and simple measure that may be a useful and objective clinical assessment tool for evaluating functional capacity and cardiovascular disease risk.

The new study was co-authored by JustinYang,MD, Costas A.Christophi,PhD andAndreaFarioli,MD, PhD and can be read in full in the JAMA Network Open.
