The Scientist 16[10]:20, May. 13, 2002 NEWS Aging, in Theory: A Personal Pursuit Do body system redundancies hold the key? E-mail article By A.J.S. Rayl Courtesy of Natalia Gavrilova Natalia Gavrilova and Leonid Gavrilov Every human being has asked at least once, "Why do we have to age and die?" Leonid Gavrilov and Natalia Tuchnina (now Gavrilova ), decide to really pursue the answer. They first met at a conference in 1975 when they were both fourth-year chemistry students at Moscow State University. Then, seven days after their first date, a smitten Gavrilov proposed, promising he would discover how to stop aging if she would marry him. It is, they suggest, "a promising approach" for developing a comprehensive theory that integrates biological knowledge with systems repair principles and mathematical methods. Since its publication, the Gavrilovs' paper has sparked discussion among those in theoretical biology and others interested in the evolution of aging, garnering comments ranging from "astonishing" to "a useful contribution," as well as "incredibly clever," "robust," "original," "thought-provoking," and "a pointer in the direction of how to understand the aging process." The Theory In essence, the Gavrilovs have taken general reliability theory from mathematics

Wir werden in den nächsten Wochen die Visionen des Alternsforschers Kirkwood in jeweils leicht gekürzter Fassung vorstellen.

Screening in the Elderly: Principles and Practice J. SCOTT RICH HAROLD C. SOX Veterans Affairs Medical Center White River Junction, Vt. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Lebanon, N. H. Data on the benefits of screening that have been obtained from studies of middle-aged adults cannot be extrapolated to the elderly; indeed, benefits decline appreciably with age. In addition, recommendations based on expert opinion are conflicting. The authors present an tailored, stepwise approach that weighs the benefits of screening against the risks and cost for each patient. Dr. Rich is Outcomes Group Research Fellow, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, White River Junction, Vt. Dr. Sox is Chair and Joseph M. Huber Professor, Department of Medicine, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, N. H. As more people live into the eighth and ninth decades of life, physicians increasingly will have to decide whether to routinely screen older patients. Because few clinical trials of screening and prevention have enrolled patients aged 70 years and older, an evidence-based answer to this question is unlikely in the near future. Until then, one way to decide about screening in the elderly is to follow recommendations that are based on expert opinion. Unfortunately, current guidelines differ, no doubt reflecting the scientific uncertainty that exists. For example, the American College of Physicians and American Society of Internal Medicine recommend against routine screening mammography for breast cancer in women older than 75 years; the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force states that evidence for or against routine screening in women older than 70 is insufficient to make recommendations; and the American Cancer Society and American Medical Association cite no upper age limit for routine screening. The recommendations for other conditions are similarly inconsistent.

HERBALCONSULTS Add To Your Favorites Now About Dr. Moore About Holistic Medicine Our Vision FAQ ... Consult Office Excerpt from "The Aging Factor in Health and Disease" In 1825, an English actuary named Benjamin Gompertz observed that death rates in humans rise exponentially after sexual maturity, and he proposed a simple formula to define the relationship between the force of mortality and age within a population. This is often used to characterize the age-related changes in mortality of a genetically heterogeneous population, whether human or animal. The Gompert z curve implies no finite maximum age for a species, strain or population, but does predict decreasing probabilities of survival with increasing age. The crucial question now is: Can the slope of the Gompertz curve be altered by biological interventions, i.e., can basic research on aging provide interventions to improve quality of life by decelerating the rate of senescence.

Downloaded from - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/reith2001/ BBC Radio 4 - Reith Lectures 2001 - The End of Age Lecture 1: Brave Old World by Tom Kirkwood Never in human history has a population so wilfully and deliberately defied nature as has the present generation. How have we defied it? We have survived. Our unprecedented survival has produced a revolution in longevity which is shaking the foundations of societies around the world and profoundly altering our attitudes to life and death. At the same time, science has made hitherto undreamed-of advances in human biology. The explosive force of these two revolutions coming together lies at the heart of my series of Reith Lectures, as it has been at the heart of my work. Science has new things to tell us about the process of ageing. We know now that ageing is neither inevitable nor necessary. It is particularly fitting that the first lecture in a series that will explore the revolution in human longevity should be given at the Royal Institution. This establishment, founded in 1799, has played a pioneering role in science and technology. It was here, exactly two hundred years ago, that the young Humphry Davy was appointed to arrange scientific demonstrations for the public. Davy's demonstrations were spectacular events, often explosive and dangerous. There is delicious irony in the fact that Davy's best-known legacy is the miner's safety lamp, expressly designed to prevent explosions from occurring. My home city of Newcastle upon Tyne, famously associated in earlier times with coal mining, has had good reason to bless the life-preserving qualities of the Davy lamp.
