The competition of ecological resonances in the quantum metabolic model of cancer: Potential energetic interventions.

Cancer (a) represents an atavistic reversion to attempted asexual reproduction; (b) metastasizes to absorber "soil" tissues based upon temporal, ontogenetic commonalities; (c) cycles/precesses with competitive immunological surveillance and self-competition within the ecological environment of the body; and (d) is potentially manageable via quantum information qubit phase transitions and universal principles of thermodynamic hysteresis and resonant driving forces . We use retro-recognition of evidence-based cancer anomalies to make these arguments, which in sum position cancer as an ecological quantum information problem. The findings reposition the quantum metabolic model of cancer and presents a research approach aimed at applied treatments: Tertiary Lymphoid Structure ecological competition with cellular transmembrane quantum energy boosting using VDAC and other voltage gated ion channels.

Allostatic Load, Mobility Disability, and Viral Effects in Cancer: A Structural Equation Model.

A growing number of cancers have been linked to specific oncogenic viruses and physiological stress. Recently, two separate studies linked mobility limitations to allostatic load and four major cancer types. The objective of this study was to determine if cancer occurrence regresses on three latent domains of Allostatic Load, Level of Physical Functioning (i.

Disability and health outcomes in geospatial analyses of Southeastern U.S. county health data.

Background: People with disabilities tend to be at risk for secondary conditions. There is a need for comprehensive disability and health databases, including geographic information systems to evaluate trends in health, functioning, and employment.

Objective: We evaluated county levels in morbidity and mortality across the Southeastern United States using spatial regression, examining 2015 trends in accordance with Healthy People 2020 objectives.

Biomarkers of chondriome topology and function: implications for the extension of healthy aging.

Multiple theories of aging (e.g., free radical, error catastrophe, mitochondrial) are complementary but fail to provide adequate models that comprehensively predict lifelong aging processes and that are valid across species.

Heart age differentials and general cardiovascular risk profiles for persons with varying disabilities: NHANES 2001-2010.

Background: Persons with disabilities are at risk for secondary conditions, including allostatic load contributing to cardiovascular disease. The General Cardiovascular Risk Profile (GCRP) estimates cardiovascular disease risk for individuals. The GCRP variables are present in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for the Healthy People 2010 decade.

Creating a multi-institutional family medicine clerkship examination: lessons learned.

Background And Objectives: Multiple choice examinations assess learners' attainment of medical knowledge. Developing multiple choice examinations that discriminate among learners is difficult and time-consuming. Many institutions avoid this effort by using the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) subject examinations, which can also provide comparisons to a national norm.

Griev_Ing: death notification skills and applications for fourth-year medical students.

Background And Purpose: Our study examined whether GRIEV_ING improved death notification skills of medical students, whether pretesting with simulated survivors primed learners and improved results of the intervention, and whether feedback on the simulated encounter improved student performance.

Methods: GRIEV_ING training was given to 138 fourth-year medical students divided into three groups: exposure to simulated survivor (SS) with written feedback, exposure to SS but no feedback, and no exposure to SS before the training. Students were tested on self-confidence before and after the intervention and were rated by SSs on interpersonal communication and death notification skills.

Progress along developmental tracks for electronic health records implementation in the United States.

The development and implementation of electronic health records (EHR) have occurred slowly in the United States. To date, these approaches have, for the most part, followed four developmental tracks: (a) Enhancement of immunization registries and linkage with other health records to produce Child Health Profiles (CHP), (b) Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) demonstration projects to link together patient medical records, (c) Insurance company projects linked to ICD-9 codes and patient records for cost-benefit assessments, and (d) Consortia of EHR developers collaborating to model systems requirements and standards for data linkage. Until recently, these separate efforts have been conducted in the very silos that they had intended to eliminate, and there is still considerable debate concerning health professionals access to as well as commitment to using EHR if these systems are provided.
