If you could live to be 150 years old, would you? One’s answer to this question inevitably hinges on a few things: Whether they’ll arrive there in good health and whether they’ll get to enjoy longevity with friends and family whom they love. What’s the allure of immorality spent in isolation and despair? I, for one, would gladly jump at any opportunity that gave me a chance of nearly doubling the average human lifespan.

AFib inhalers took a small step closer to becoming a reality after InCarda Therapeutics’ Phase 3 RESTORE-1 trial showed that its FlecIH-103 inhaled flecainide formulation can rapidly convert paroxysmal AFib to normal sinus rhythm. However, challenges with the study suggest that InCarda has more work to do in order to achieve this reality. FlecIH-103 is an orally-inhaled flecainide acetate solution that treats paroxysmal AFib (PAF) by rapidly restoring normal sinus rhythm (NSR), potentially reduc

More than half of all people who experience sudden cardiac arrest outside of hospital don't receive immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). As a result, 9 out of 10 times they die. Yet it takes just 90 seconds to learn the fundamentals of Hands-Only CPR to save a life. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a person's chance of survival.

The modern age of clinical guidelines began with a 1992 institute of medicine report which defined guidelines as systematically developed statements meant to assist practitioner and patient decisions about healthcare for specific clinical circumstances. The key words there were ‘assist practitioner AND patient decisions’. However over the course of the last 30 years, this seemingly innocuous and potentially helpful advancement/concept has metamorphosed into something which is far bigger and far

High blood pressure (hypertension) causes thickening of the blood vessels and hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis). A study conducted by Brazilian researchers has shown for the first time that a similar phenomenon occurs in the lungs. High blood pressure hardens the bronchi and increases airway resistance, impairing respiratory capacity.

The concept of ‘caring’ in medicine can be metaphorically likened to actively choosing to walk the patient home. However ‘home’ in this setting refers to the place the patient calls home – Caring is not about walking the patient to the place that the doctor calls home. This is fundamentally the problem with modern day medical care. We try and walk the patient to ‘our home’ and not to ‘their’ home.
