    Summary: "Over the past twenty years, the biomedical research community has been delivering hundreds of breakthroughs expected to extend human lifespan beyond thresholds imaginable today. However, much of this research has not yet been adopted into clinical practice, nor has it been widely publicized. Just as the Internet and mobile communications were interwoven into our everyday lives over the past two decades, biomedicine will transform our society forever by allowing people to live longer and to continue working and contributing financially to the economy longer, rather than entering into retirement and draining the economy through pensions and senior healthcare. With a refocusing of medical national resources to regenerative medicine, old age will become a concept of the past, breakthroughs in regenerative medicine will continue, and an unprecedented boom to the global economy, with an influx of older able-bodied workers and consumers, will be a reality. A leading expert in aging research, author Alex Zhavoronkov provides a helicopter view on the progress science has already made, from repairing tissue damage to growing functional organs from a single cell, and illuminates the possibilities that the scientific and medical community will soon make into realities. The Ageless Generation is an engaging work that causes us to rethink our ideas of age and ability in the modern world"--Provided by publisher.

    The oral dose of 2g 4-(N-acetyl-L-tyrosyl) aminobenzoic acid was used to establish the secretion of pancreatic chymotrypsin after stimulation with Lundh's test-meal in 45 persons. By action of chymotrypsin 4-aminobenzoic acid is split in the small intestine. The extent of its excretion in the urine serves as an indicator of exocrine pancreatic secretion. The 4-aminobenzoic acid in the urine is estimated after acid hydrolysis by the diazotation reaction. The average value (x +/- SE) of 4-aminobenzoic acid excreted in an 8-hr urine sample amounts to 69.4 +/- 3.0% with the lower limit of the normal values (x - 2 SD) 49.6%. The corresponding values in patients with pancreatic maldigestion were significantly decreased (25.1 +/- 3.6%). Reduction of the collection period of urine to 6 hrs is sufficient for the demonstration of more advanced forms of pancreatic insufficiency. In cases of disturbances of absorption in the small intestine an extension of the urine collection period to 8 hrs is recommended. We consider this oral test to be a suitable screening method which can be conveniently used in out-patient practice.
