Human trials are about to begin to see if scientists can reverse-engineer a sick person’s cells to develop personalized stem cell treatments for diseases which are hard to treat. Parkinson’s Disease will be a big focus of this project, as well as macular degeneration and damaged hearts. Aspen Neuroscience is one of several groups participating in these trials. In Parkinson’s Disease, neurons die and lose the ability to make the chemical dopamine. This results in uncontrollable shaking. Aspen Neuroscience will test whether injecting new cells based on the person’s own DNA, can stop a person from shaking. This is great news as Parkinson’s is a very debilitating disease.
AARP Bulletin (January/February 2023 Issue, page 9) had an alarming story about the growing number of people in their 50’s who are having a major heart attack. The article profiled Lori Kubitz who, at the age of 54 did not smoke and was not overweight, woke at 4:00 a.m. as she was having a massive heart attack. “We’re looking at a crisis in terms of lowering life expectancy for the first time in decades,†Dr. Sadiya Khan, a cardiologist, told AARP Bulletin. A 2022 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists heart disease, along with the opiod crisis and COVID, as key drivers for a higher death rate. Death rates for those being middle-aged from 45 to 64 from heart disease have risen by 8.5% between 2010 to 2020, according to Kaiser Permanente.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General recently noted that nursing homes and assisted living facilities are being closely monitored after they found that 8 in 10 residents (about 1 million) were being given psychiatric drugs which were deemed “chemical straightjacket drugs.â€Â I am, unfortunately, all too familiar with this type of behavior. I took care of my grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s disease, from the age of 92-98. When it got too stressful, I took a vacation to France and had her stay in a rehab facility for three weeks while I was away. I got a call from the rehab facility and they asked for my permission to put her in restraints because she was not being cooperative. I said absolutely not, she is just reacting to being in an unfamiliar setting. Unfortunately, facilities are understaffed and would prefer to sedate seniors instead of giving them the respect that they deserve.

It has always been a struggle to get a full blown disability insurance claim approved. However, in recent years it has gotten even more challenging due to a staffing shortage at the Social Security Administration. According to an analysis done by the AARP’s government affairs staff, it can take more than 1.5 years go get in and have your disability claim heard. This is the worst response rate of any government agency, according to the Government Accountability Offices, or GAO, 10K people each year die while waiting to hear back on their claim status from the GAO.
