Most forms of cancer have a built-in constituency of patients, loved ones, and concerned others. Lung cancer patients, instead, are often blamed for their own disease because of its frequent connection with smoking. Patients are often isolated, and research dollars lag behind other, less common cancer killers.

The amount of severely obese teenagers, carrying 100 pounds or more than the ideal weight, has doubled to 10% in the past 15 years. Chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea associated with obesity could all be avoided with proper bariatric surgery at a young age. Dr. Thomas Inge, Chief of Pediatric Surgery at Children’s Hospital in Colorado, says it is sometimes unrealistic to think children will simply lose weight by growing up.

Every day our DNA mutates hundreds of thousands, if not millions of times. Mutations which can lead to cancer cells, according to Dr. Joshua Schiffman, an investigator at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. So how do we not get cancer on a daily basis? Our immune system detects and deals with the mutations. A “stopwatch” in the mutated cell begins, and if the mutation is not fixed in the allowed time by the cell itself, the cell will be killed to prevent further mistakes in future cells.When the immune system fails to fix or kill the precancerous cell, it will begin to uncontrollably divide and potentially take over an organ. One mechanism in particular that can help prevent cellular organ domination comes from the p53 gene, commonly referred to as the “Guardian of the Genome.” If there’s a mistake in the DNA sequencing, p53 helps to fix it –– think genetic spell check.Dr. Vincent Lynch, assistant professor of Human Genetics and Organismal Biology at the University of Chicago, studied the p53 gene in a surprising and massive population. The UIC geneticist began with the skin cells of Asian and African elephants. Dr. Schiffman pursued the mystery behind elephant p53 as well.What both men found is that elephants have 40 copies of p53, whereas humans only have two. This difference may hold the key to why only 3% of elephants get cancer as opposed to 40% of humans.What both men uncovered is elephants have around 40 copies of p53, whereas humans only have two. This difference may hold the key to why only 3% of elephants get cancer as opposed to 40% of humans. The doctors see the potential for p53 to be utilized to produce a new medicine to treat cancer in humans. It might even be possible to use it as a preventative measure in the near future.Guests: Dr. Joshua Schiffman, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Utah and investigator, Huntsman Cancer Institute Dr. Vincent Lynch, Assistant Professor of Human Genetics and Organismal Biology, University of Chicago Links for more information: Huntsman Cancer Institute Schiffman Lab – The University of Utah Lynch Lab – Department of Human Genetics – The University of Chicago Facebook: ingoodhealthpodX: @ ingoodhealthpodIG: @ingoodhealthpodYouTube: @ingoodhealthpodSpotify Apple Podcast In Good Health PodcastSubscribed to the newsletterFull ArchiveContact UsBecome an Affiliate Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. Stacie Dusetzina, Associate Professor of Health Policy at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine has learned that 1 in 4 people have trouble filling their prescription. According to Dusetzina, people with chronic conditions, like cancer, have a greater risk of running into financial obstacles. One cancer patient is taking a stand against the financial burden of disease. Millions of Americans cannot afford the medications they’ve been prescribed. Many skip doses, split pills, trade pills with friends and family, or don’t fill prescriptions at all as a result––with sometimes even fatal consequences. Dr. Stacie Dusetzina, Associate Professor of Health Policy at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine has learned that 1 in 4 people have trouble filling their prescription. According to Dusetzina, people with chronic conditions, like cancer, have a greater risk of running into financial obstacles. One cancer patient is taking a stand against the financial burden of disease. David Mitchell, a 68-year-old living with multiple myeloma is the founder of Patients for Affordable Drugs. The two drugs that make Mitchell’s rare form of cancer treatable cost $325,000 a year. For Mitchell, the only reason his drugs are affordable are thanks to insurance and the fact that his drugs are infused rather than pills. Mitchell is seemingly luck with his insurance and form of treatment. A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine reveals that up to 30% of prescriptions are never filled, with cost likely a contributing factor. Some people can’t afford $50 a month for treatment, Dusetzina says, and the price can hinder people from taking the full prescription. Dusetzina believes, splitting up drug doses may be worse than taking none at all. Cutting medication could lead to drug resistance––an outcome potentially worse than taking no drug at all. In particular, Dusetzina says that patients who are rationing insulin are threatening their own lives to a sometimes fatal extent. And it is not just the illness but also the stress that comes from the price of the drugs that can make someone worse, according to Mitchell. A solution the CDC has begun to work on to combat the pricing out drug dilemma would involve a system where a physician takes a patient’s insurance card and in real time knows the cost of the drug they are about to prescribe. This would be extremely beneficial for financial drug adjustment. According to the CDC, 60% of those who are uninsured have not asked their pharmacist or physician if there are cheaper treatment options––options that could be just as life-saving as the drugs themselves.

One in every 50 Americans has a chance of experiencing the type of headache that no amount of medicine can dull. One with a 40% fatality rate. Typically non-symptomatic and often undiagnosed, brain aneurysms are bulging blood vessels in the brain (picture an expanding water balloon). 30,000 people per year have the misfortune of not recognizing their brain aneurysm until it ruptures and produces searing pain. A pain that prompted brain aneurysm survivor Janet Sutherland-Madden to call her mother one March afternoon to say what she believed to be her final goodbye. What started as one of her daily headaches ended up bringing her dangerously close to death. Soon after Sutherland-Madden dialed 911, paramedics found her seizing on the kitchen floor and recognized that she was displaying the symptoms of a ruptured brain aneurysm. Amazingly, these paramedics had recently undergone training on how to identify brain aneurysms––a fact Sutherland-Madden recognizes as a true miracle. Statistically, a brain aneurysm ruptures every 18 minutes, and ruptures have been found to occur twice as often in the African American community compared to Caucasians. Sutherland-Madden discusses these statistics and other truths in her new book Nose Over Toes––a product of her new-found mission to disseminate knowledge and raise awareness about aneurysms.

A look at the top medical headlines for the week of July 15, 2018. When it comes to cancer are you better off safe than sorry? Despite cancer screenings potential risks, many Americans still want it. A study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology finds that more than a third of participants want to receive a hypothetical cancer screening, even when the possibility of serious harm is described in detail. Clinicians say screenings can produce false positives that could lead to unnecessary worry and follow up tests. They can also over-diagnose, resulting in costly and unnecessary treatment of cancers that will never spread. Men who take low dose aspirin to ward off heart attacks have more reason to stay out of the sun. A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology finds those who take aspirin have nearly double the risk of developing melanoma compared to men who don’t take it. However, scientists say that’s not reason to stop taking aspirin, which not only reduces heart attacks but also helps prevent a variety of cancers. Women taking aspirin showed no increased melanoma risk. And finally, want to get more done at work? Scoot on over to a window. A study from Cornell University finds that natural light produces health benefits and increased productivity. Lack of daylight and access to views decrease the ability of the eye to relax and recover from fatigue, but natural light cuts eyestrain is by 51 percent and reduces computer vision syndrome which impacts 70 million workers worldwide.
