Heart Disease Prevention: The Impact of Diet and Exercise on Heart Health; By David Maron, MD

This holiday season, we salute the people whose passion and commitment drive us forward, and wish everybody a happy and healthy 2023.
Medicine
By Audrey Shafer, MD
Medicine is this: the sun dries your unfurling wings and you stand commencing
with new wisdom
Medicine is this: we are alone, each in our own body
yet, like roots intertwining trees below the forest floor
we connect, each to each to each
Medicine is this: an awareness of transience
eternity held in a single moment
the moment held with a steady gaze
researcher, teacher, patient, doctor
the connecting circles of those who care
Medicine is this: we are here
beside you, beholding you; we listen
we pave a path girded by scientific discovery
and remain here, with you, as you feel the gentle warmth of health
Medicine is this: an ever education that teaches
love, that teaches justice, that teaches speak up, that teaches pride that
teaches the colors of the many threads which weave among us
that teaches the long arc of mending and care
Medicine is this: a life you dream becomes the life you lead
you sit at the bench searching for an answer
the many nights, the puzzling paths ending at the secret garden’s locked gate
and just then it comes, the very question you need to turn the key
you connect with those around you, and you smile
curious as morning light to see what the day will bring
Medicine is this: masks and shields, gloves and glass,
a door from today opens to tomorrow
an overture: a chance to breathe, to sigh, to smile
Medicine is this: a gaze from a waiting room window
your body no longer scripted, your fingers tap quietly
you rise to the call of your name, to a receptionist’s bright smile
while above, the helicopter brings a new family to the wide arms of healing
Medicine is this: long nights, long hallways, infinite pages
hard choices, fatigue felt in bones, yet
clocks become calendars, neophytes become seasoned
and welcome, as they had been, all who come to learn
connections like bridges through generations
each knowing more, each contributing
as the community of medicine
nurtures insights to full flower, from the promise of green buds
to the sun-tipped splendor of blossoms open to the world
Medicine is just this: us
we are medicine
from a baby’s first blinks in the light
to a patient’s guided steps after surgery
we are medicine
from a grinning preschooler as her end-of-treatment bell rings
to a friendly check on a colleague after a heartbreak shift
we are medicine
from the first white coat to the cap and gown
we champion the head and heart of research
to understand, to pioneer, to transform science into hope
we are medicine
all of us shining points on a great linked sphere
together we learn
together we teach
together we discover
together we share
together we heal
together, we are medicine.

Sleep age is a projected age that correlates to one's health based on their quality of sleep. So for instance, if you analyze the sleep characteristics of dozens of 55-year-olds and average them out, you'll have an idea of what sleep looks like at that age. For instance, someone who's 55 and sleeps soundly through the night with good quality REM cycles could, theoretically, might have a sleep age of 45.
Sleep expert Emmanuel Mignot, MD, PhD, and his colleagues analyzed some 12,000 studies, each of which focused on an individual, that reported characteristics of their sleep -- such as chin and leg movement, breathing and heartbeat. Their goal was to develop a system that assigns one's sleep age and, using machine learning, identifies the variations in sleep most closely linked to mortality.

Fortunately, relief may be in sight. A new study led by investigators at the Stanford University School of Medicine shows that neurons in the lateral hypothalamus, a brain region, play a pivotal role in sleep loss in old mice. More specifically, the arousal-promoting hypocretin neurons become hyperexcitable, driving sleep interruptions.

Using results from a detailed computer simulation, called a “digital human,” participants in a small study were able to reduce the load on their knees by an average of 12%, a benefit equivalent to a person losing about 20% of their total body weight. The lighter load may alleviate pain from osteoarthritis or prevent joint injuries.
