'' ' YOUR PARENTS LIFE ' ''
FOUNDERS : STUDENTS SHAHZAIB KHAN AND SALAR KHAN, never ever got to see their grandfather.
Brig Mohammed Nawaz Khan - an officer and a human of the highest class, died very early. In my personal observations-
The Proud Pakistani Army, rarely could produce an officer of his class, dedication and distinction. Wretched neuro cancer, got him.
HALEEMA LOST HER MOTHER very early............ Wretched Cancer.
*Great Haly* [as I lovingly called her], I grew very fond of. And when - and whenever, she felt unobserved, the melancholy of her frozen features, just numbed me, restless.
I made it a point to keep her more engaged. Haleema, is no ordinary girl. Telecom Engineer and an inspiring founder, Haly is made of stainless solid steel.
A perfectionist, hardworking, humble, reliable, and a hard-task master she became the first editor-in-chief of Sam Daily Times : ''The Voice Of The Voiceless''.
Haleema, is now a household name not only in Pakistan, but the entire world over as a source of inspiration, sacrifice, selflessness, and fearlessness and accomplishment.
The World Students Society stops to give Engineer Haleema, Rabo's best friend, a standing ovation.
But in any context, Humans aren't built to last forever. And since that is so, Is there a ceiling on life expectancy?
The most common risk factor for serious disease is old age. Heart disease, cancer, stroke, neurological conditions, diabetes - all increase radically with advancing years.
And the older a person is, the more likely he or she is to have multiple chronic illnesses. But some scientists hope one day to treat all of them at once - by targeting aging itself.
Humans aren't built to last forever. The oldest person on record was Jenne Calment, a Frenchwoman, who died in 1997 at age 122. In 2040, the average life span for people in Spain, projected to pass Japan as the country with the longest-lived citizens, will reach about 86 years.
There is a considerable dispute, however, over how long humans might live under optimal circumstances.
In 2016, a team of scientists declared the upper limit to be 115 years. But in June, researchers reviewing death rates among elderly Italians suggested that there may be no limit at all.
In animal studies over the last few decades, scientists have begun to understand the specific cellular and molecular processes that cause the deteriorations of old age.
In an essay in the journal JAMA last month, Tamara Tchkonia and Dr. James L. Kirkland of the Mayo Clinic categorized these processes into four broad groups :
Chronic inflammation; cell dysfunction; changes in stem cells that make them fail to regenerate tissue; and cellular senescence, the accumulation in tissue of aging cells that accompanies disease.
Old cells, researchers have found, secrete proteins, lipids and other substances that increase inflammation and tissue destruction.
In one study in mice, researchers showed that transplanting these cells to the knee joints of healthy animals causes disease that looks very much like human osteorthritis.
Healthy young people have few of these aging cells, but after age 60, they begin to accumulate, and their increasing quality correlated with disabilities of old age.
Could there be any remedy that removes these old cells while leaving young cells? Several are being tested.
In one study of mice, old cells have been found susceptible to a combination of two drugs: dasatinib, a cancer drug, and quercetin, a plant flavonoid. They improve cardiac function and exercise capacity in old mice, delayed symptoms of osteoporosis and prolonged healthy old age.
Some drugs already approved for other purposes are being tested as ''senolytics,'' as the drug that kill old cells are now called.
Dr. Nir Barzilai, a professor of medicine at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine, is planning a study of metformin, a drug that has been used for 60 years to treat diabetes and has been shown to be effective against several age related diseases.
If drugs can treat aging, is aging itself a disease?
No, Dr. Barzilal said.
''We're seeing the consequences of pushing the limits of survival : the rise of Alzheimer's disease, dementia, joint and hip problems, loss of muscle mass.''
The Honor and Serving of the latest Operational Research on Life, Aging and Death continues. The World Students Society thanks author and researcher Roni Caryn Rabin.
With loving and respectful dedication to the ever lasting memory of all Grandparents, Parents who have left for their heavenly abodes, and then to the Researchers, Scientists, Students, Professors and Teachers of the world.
