1) A clinical perspective on breastfeeding and autism
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mnt/healthnews/~3/3xX7PJoUxp8/268505.php
In an article appearing in Medical Hypotheses, a New York-based physician-researcher from the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine has called for the testing of umbilical cord blood for levels of a growth protein that could help predict an infant's propensity to later develop autism.
Based on an analysis of findings in prior published studies, Touro researcher Gary Steinman, MD, PhD, proposes that depressed levels of a protein called insulin-like growth factor (IGF) could potentially serve as a biomarker that could anticipate autism occurrence.
His research points to numerous prior studies that powerfully link IGF with a number of growth and neural functions. Dr. Steinman -- who has also conducted extensive research into fertility and twinning -- further points to breastfeeding as a relatively abundant source of the protein. He says that IGF delivered via breastfeeding would [...]

2) The influence of food order on healthy food selection at buffets
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mnt/healthnews/~3/BC9bx4e2uU8/268504.php
Every day millions of people stand in line at all-you-can-to-eat buffet lines waiting to satiate their palates with the delicious foods on the line. Most of these people, however, are unaware that food order biases what ends up on their plates: the first food in line is taken the most and biases what else is taken. In fact, this influence is so strong that in a recent study published in Public Library of Science One, Drs. Brian Wansink and Andrew Hanks found that two-thirds of an individual's plate is filled with the first items they encounter. Plus, when less healthy foods are served first, individuals take 31% more total food items.
Drs. Wansink and Hanks conducted their study at a conference where attendees were served a seven-item breakfast buffet. In the dining area, the food items were served on two separate tables just over 50 feet apart. Unbeknownst to the attendees, foods were [...]

3) Relief from emotional lows may be more important to addicts than euphoric highs
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mnt/healthnews/~3/2pS9HebO2ds/268506.php
Cocaine addicts may become trapped in drug binges - not because of the euphoric highs they are chasing but rather the unbearable emotional lows they desperately want to avoid.
In a study published online in Psychopharmacology, Rutgers University Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience Professor Mark West, and doctoral student David Barker in the Department of Psychology, in the School of Arts and Sciences, challenge the commonly held view that drug addiction occurs because users are always going after the high. Based on new animal studies, they discovered that the initial positive feelings of intoxication are short lived - quickly replaced by negative emotional responses whenever drug levels begin to fall.
If these animal models are a mirror into human addiction, Rutgers researchers say that addicts who learned to use drugs to either achieve a positive emotional state or to relieve a [...]

1) Three Ways to Increase Your Metabolism
[No link provided]
As I continue studying for my group fitness instructor certification exam, I am becoming more aware of the important role that metabolism plays in contributing to or detracting from wellness. Although there is much information about metabolism that an individual should grasp, recognizing that an increased metabolic rate can facilitate calorie burning is important for individuals interested in shedding unwanted pounds. If you are interested in accomplishing this goal, here are three ways that you can increase your metabolism:1. Stretching. As many health experts know, metabolism is the measure of the rate at which an individual's body consumes or "burns" calories. In discussing ways to boost metabolism, Peak Health Advocate notes that stretching can boost metabolism and thereby burn calories. This is an important reality to recognize for those interested in weight loss or maintenance. [...]

2) Want to Raise Your Metabolism to Lose Weight? Here's How
[No link provided]
As I continue preparing to become a group fitness instructor, I realize that one of the motivating factors that lead people to start exercising is a desire to lose weight. Although there are a variety of ways this goal can be accomplished, raising your metabolism can be a very effective way to make it happen. If you are interested in shedding unwanted pounds by increasing your metabolic rate, here are three great strategies you can employ to accomplish your goal:
1. Drink More Water. As many health experts know, water raises metabolism by changing your body temperature. In noting how water consumption affects metabolic rate, Maggie Spilner notes that "It may speed up metabolism by as much as 28 percent in an hour." For the best results, she encourages you to drink it cold. (In addition to drinking water to lose weight by boosting your metabolism, you should note that consuming water [...]

3) Three Fitness Facts You Should Know About
[No link provided]
The decision to become a certified group fitness instructor is probably one of the best I've made in my whole life. Although I have been exercising consistently for several years now, I was unaware of how complex and interesting the field is until I began studying for my exam. Here are three interesting fitness facts you should know about:1. Every Little Bit Helps. As an individual who works out 6 to 7 times per week, I'm accustomed to being very active and reaping the benefits that result from continual engagement in cardiovascular and weight training activity. However, research shows that individuals who do not exercise this much can still experience profound results from their activity. In discussing the benefits of exercise, Meredith Melnick noted a study which found that individuals who engage in even a little bit of activity-such as a 15 minute daily walk-will reap benefits from [...]

1) Does Cocoa Butter Really Help Against Stretch Marks?
[No link provided]
While carrying my first child, I've been a little worried about what my belly has in store for me when it comes to developing stretch marks! During my nightly application of cocoa butter, I wonder how it really does help prevent the development of stretch marks, or if it even works at all!
Luckily, there is proof that applying cocoa butter religiously throughout pregnancy, or any type of growth spurt or weight gain, can provide promising results. Some argue that the results aren't prominent enough, or that products like Vitamin E are more efficient, but there are some things that cocoa butter does to your skin, that can help prevent new stretch marks from showing up, or even fade ones that you already have.
The main thing that cocoa butter does, is it replenishes the levels of collagen in your skin. Collagen is a protein in or skin's tissue, and sometimes if we're lacking it, [...]

New research on mice raises hope of a better, more lasting treatment for macular degeneration, which uses
a class of drugs known as MDM2 inhibitors to regress the abnormal blood vessels responsible for the vision loss
associated with the disease.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine and colleagues write about their findings
in a recent online issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Senior author Sai Chavala, assistant professor of Ophthalmology and Cell Biology & Physiology at the UNC School of
Medicine says:
"We believe we may have found an optimized treatment for macular degeneration. Our hope is that MDM2 inhibitors
would reduce the treatment burden on both patients and physicians."

Researchers say that efforts to tackle youth obesity rates in the US may be "having some success," as a new study reveals that teenagers in the US are eating healthier, carrying out more physical activity and watching less TV.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2010 more than a third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. The "obesity epidemic," particularly in children and adolescents, has become an increasing concern, although there have been positive signs of decline.
Medical News Today recently reported that the CDC revealed rates of childhood obesity declined in 19 of 43 states and territories studied between 2008 and 2011.

Article Date: 02 Sep 2013 - 14:00 PDT
A nuclear stress test is similar to the exercise stress test or pharmacological (chemical) stress test, but a small amount of radioactive substance is used to determine the health of the heart and blood flow to the heart.
The nuclear stress test can be referred to by other names, such as a thallium stress test1, myocardial perfusion scan2, or radionuclide test3.
The nuclear stress test can be done while the patient is resting or doing exercise. The radioactive substance that is injected into the patient is called a radionuclide
According to the British Heart Foundation, "Radionuclide tests are considered safe4. However, during the test you will be exposed to some radiation."
How can a nuclear test help the doctor?

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure that involves placing a neurostimulator in the brain which sends out electrical impulses to specific regions of the brain.
The electrical impulses are sent out to block abnormal signals that can cause a number of different neurological disorders.
DBS is commonly used to treat essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia (a movement disorder in which the muscles contract and spasm).
The procedure is also being studied as a potential form of treatment for Tourette syndrome and major depression.
The DBS system is made up of three different components:
an implanted pulse generator
the lead
an extension wire
The lead (also called an electrode) is a thin insulated wire [...]

The NuvaRing is a hormonal contraceptive device for women.
The device is a flexible plastic ring which is placed into the vagina. The NuvaRing releases the hormones progestin and estrogen into the body, which prevents the ovaries from producing mature eggs.
A NuvaRing is typically worn for three weeks, after which it should be removed - to allow menstruation. A regular menstrual period will typically start within two or three days of removing the ring. After a one week break a new ring can be inserted.
NuvaRing is manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant Merck. It was first approved in Holland on February 14, 2001, and months later 14 other European Union countries approved.
On October 3, 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made [...]

The device is a flexible plastic ring which is placed into the vagina. The NuvaRing releases the hormones progestin and estrogen into the body, which prevents the ovaries from producing mature eggs.
A NuvaRing is typically worn for three weeks, after which it should be removed - to allow menstruation. A regular menstrual period will typically start within two or three days of removing the ring. After a one week break a new ring can be inserted.
NuvaRing is manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant Merck. It was first approved in Holland on February 14, 2001, and months later 14 other European Union countries approved.
On October 3, 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made [...]

Eating too much red meat, which raises brain levels of iron, may heighten the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, researchers from the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA reported in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
As background information, the authors explained that iron can accelerate the damaging reactions of free radicals. Over time, iron builds up in brain gray matter regions and appears to contribute to the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other age-related illnesses.
Alzheimer's disease has been an exceptionally challenging enemy to defeat. Its number 1 risk factor is aging - something none of us can prevent.
Most scientists and specialists agree that Alzheimer's [...]

Sleep is well-known to help us better understand what we have learned. But now, researchers believe they have discovered exactly how sleep helps our brains to better learn specific motor tasks, such as typing or playing the piano.
The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, is the first to use three different brain scans in order to determine changes in particular brainwaves and the exact location of changed brain activity in specific motor learning subjects.
Researchers carried out an analysis of 15 subjects who volunteered for motor learning experiments, which involved a series of finger-tapping tasks.
For the first 3 nights, the participants slept at whatever time they wanted to. During this period, their [...]

Anxiety disorders, which include post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorder, affect 40 million American adults in a given year. Currently available treatments, such as antianxiety drugs, are not always effective and have unwanted side effects.
To develop better treatments, a more specific understanding of the brain circuits that produce anxiety is necessary, says Kay Tye, an assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences and member of MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory.
"The targets that current anti-anxiety drugs are acting on are very nonspecific. We don't actually know what the targets are for modulating anxiety-related behavior," Tye says.
In a step toward uncovering better targets, Tye and her colleagues [...]

Anyone fancy a game of cancer hunting? The charity Cancer Research UK has announced a partnership with an England-based software agency to develop a game in which the general public can analyze cancer data while playing. Scientists hope the game will help them recognize new causes of cancer.
Scientists from the charity are using cancer patients' genetic fingerprints to find ways to treat the disease in a much more focused way, but they have encountered a snag: their research is producing "terabytes upon petabytes of data requiring analysis."
To analyze the data - which must be looked at by a human eye rather than by a machine - Cancer Research UK is working with a company called Guerilla Tea to develop a game called GeneGame. The potential of having thousands of eyes on the data means it can be [...]

An experimental drug in early development for aggressive brain tumors can cross the blood-brain tumor barrier, kill tumor cells and block the growth of tumor blood vessels, according to a study led by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James).
The laboratory and animal study also shows how the agent, called SapC-DOPS, targets tumor cells and blood vessels. The findings support further development of the drug as a novel treatment for brain tumors.

Split liver transplantation carries no increased risk of failure in either recipient, allowing surgeons to safely save two lives from a single donated organ (graft), according to new research from Boston Children's Hospital published online in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.
Due to their regenerative nature, livers donated by a deceased adult or adolescent can be surgically split into two unequally sized portions; the smaller segment is allocated to a young child awaiting transplant and the larger portion to an adult.
"Infants waiting for a donor liver have the highest waitlist mortality of all liver transplant candidates, and dozens of children die each year waiting for size-appropriate organs to become [...]

The global burden of sickle cell anemia (SCA), a hereditary blood disorder, is increasing, with almost half a million babies estimated to be born with the condition in 2050, according to a study published in this week's PLOS Medicine. The study, conducted by Frédéric Piel and colleagues from the University of Oxford and Imperial College in the United Kingdom, and the KEMRI/Wellcome Trust Research Programme, Kenya, suggests that implementing basic health interventions could significantly reduce death rates in children aged less than 5 years with the condition. These findings can be used to guide national policy decisions on public health spending.
The researchers used estimated country rates of SCA and information on projected birth rates to show that the [...]

Bias pervades the scientific reporting of animal studies
A new study published in the open access journal PLOS Biology suggests that the scientific literature could be compromised by substantial bias in the reporting of animal studies, and may be giving a misleading picture of the chances that potential treatments could work in humans.
Testing a new therapeutic intervention (such as a drug or surgical procedure) on human subjects is expensive, risky and ethically complex, so the vast majority are first tested on animals. Unfortunately, cost and ethical issues constrain the size of animal studies, giving them limited statistical power, and as a result the scientific literature contains many studies that are either uncertain in their outcomes or [...]

Using infrared light and artificial intelligence, the scientists present a sophisticated method for the prediction of disease progression. Their results are now published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology.
The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is commonly found in nature and frequently colonizes the skin and the upper respiratory tract of humans. A healthy immune system can fight the microorganism but once the immune system is weakened [...]

Working in a team is not always easy, and achieving our aims often turns out to be much harder than we thought it would be. What can we do to increase our chances of gaining ultimate success? A new study from Aarhus University's transdisciplinary Interacting Minds Centre (IMC) provides insight into how to improve productivity when members of a group share a clearly identifiable goal.
"Our study focused on how to improve levels of cooperation. What we found was that when people know exactly what they're supposed to be doing as members of a team, they are more willing to trust each other and cooperate more in the future," says Panos Mitkidis, a post-doc scholar at Aarhus University, Denmark.

Scientists have identified the genetic cause of a rare skin condition that causes the hands and feet to turn white and spongy when exposed to water.
The study, led by researchers from Queen Mary, University of London, has provided scientists with an insight into how the skin barrier functions and could help with research into a variety of conditions.
Diffuse non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK) is a rare condition in which individuals have thickened, yellowish skin over their palms and soles, thickened nails and suffer from excessive sweating. When their hands and feet are exposed to water, the skin quickly turns white and spongy and individuals are prone to fungal infections.
While prevalence in the general population is estimated at one in 40,000 it is much higher in northern [...]

Runners who complete one of the world's most difficult ultra-marathons experience less neuromuscular fatigue, inflammation, and muscle damage than those who run distances half to one quarter as long.
The finding came from new research published in PLoS One and was conducted by Jonas Saugy and team from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
For the purpose of the investigation, experts analyzed twenty-five male athletes before, during, and about 30 minutes after the race.
The race, known as the Tor des Geants, is an over 200-mile mountain ultramarathon with 24,000 meters of positive and negative elevation change.
The researchers explained:
"Mountain ultra-endurance running has experienced considerable growth in recent years. These events consist of running/walking on [...]

A new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that the overall rate of Cesarean section (C-section) births has stopped increasing and has been steady from 2009 to 2011.
C-section is a surgical procedure in which a baby is delivered through the mother's abdomen, the surgery usually takes about 30 - 45 minutes. Although C-section is relatively safe, it can pose some health risks for the mother and the baby.
The rates of cesarean section procedures shot up between 1996 and 2009, from 20.7% of all births in 1996 to 32.9% in 2009. Approximately 1.67 million women undergo the procedure every year in the USA.
Major advances in technology made the procedure safer and more convenient for many mothers.

Treatment with atypical antipsychotics

Bravo our Veterans!Current drug PTSD treatment for Veterans found ineffective.Eli Lilly made $70 billion on the Zyprexa franchise.Lilly was fined $1.4 billion for Zyprexa fraud!
The atypical antipsychotics (Zyprexa,Risperdal,Seroquel) are like a 'synthetic' Thorazine,only they cost ten times more than the old fashioned typical antipsychotics.
These newer generation drugs still pack their list of side effects like diabetes for the user.All these drugs work as so called 'major tranquilizers'.This can be a contradiction with PTSD suffers as we are hyper vigilant and feel uncomfortable with a drug that puts you to sleep and makes you [...]

Runners who complete one of the world's most difficult ultra-marathons experience less neuromuscular fatigue, inflammation, and muscle damage than those who run distances half to one quarter as long.
The finding came from new research published in PLoS One and was conducted by Jonas Saugy and team from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
For the purpose of the investigation, experts analyzed twenty-five male athletes before, during, and about 30 minutes after the race.
The race, known as the Tor des Geants, is an over 200-mile mountain ultramarathon with 24,000 meters of positive and negative elevation change.
The researchers explained:
"Mountain ultra-endurance running has experienced considerable growth in recent years. These events consist of running/walking on [...]

Researchers have found that exercise helps "bad" fat transform into a form of "good" fat that is more metabolically active.
The findings were presented at the American Diabetes Association's 73rd Scientific Sessions.
Humans have two types of fat:
Brown fat (the good fat) - this type of fat burns through calories to generate body heat.
White fat (the bad fat) - this fat develops as a result of storing excess calories, it is just an energy reserve.
People with more brown fat are generally slimmer and better able to stay warm when it is cold, whereas individuals who have high levels of white fat tend to live more sedentary lifestyles.
In this study, the researchers found that mice and men who underwent an [...]

A group of researchers has managed to create the most detailed and complete map of the human brain to date.
BigBrain, the 3D digital reconstruction of the brain of a 65-year-old woman, reveals its details with microscopic precision.
The brain is made up of numerous networks of neurons that vary enormously in size, shape, and layers. Scientists can now see cerebral neuronal distribution with greater detail using this new model.
The finding, published in the journal Science, could drive further research into a wide range of brain diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
BigBrain will serve as an atlas for neurosurgery and give researchers invaluable insight into how the brain processes emotion, cognition and language.

Children had half as many emergency department visits if their primary care office had evening office hours on five or more days a week, according to new research from child health experts at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Johns Hopkins University.
The new study was published online this month in The Journal of Pediatrics and will be presented at the AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting.
"These findings are an important step in understanding where primary care practices and medical home programs can be most effective in making changes to enhance access," says U-M pediatrician Joe Zickafoose, M.D., M.S., formerly a research fellow with the Child Health Evaluation and Research Unit at the University of [...]

Scientists at A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) have developed a revolutionary method to quickly cut through noise and generate a unified and simplified analysis of high-throughput biological data from, for example, patient samples. The technique, known as a pre-whitening matched filter, is well known in electrical engineering and widely used in cell phones and radar. This is the first time, however, computational scientists led by Dr Shyam Prabhakar, Associate Director, Integrated Genomics, GIS, have adapted it to the analysis of high-throughput DNA sequencing data, with surprisingly accurate results. The development was recently published in the prestigious journal, Nature Biotechnology.
High-throughput DNA sequencing has revolutionized the study of molecular biology and human disease. The [...]

South Asian women in Britain have an 8% higher risk of developing breast cancer than British white women, compared to a 45% lower risk ten years ago, researchers from the University of Sheffield reported at the National Cancer Intelligence Network Conference in Brighton on Friday, June 14th.
Study leader, Dr. Matthew Day and team are not sure why breast cancer incidence has increased so rapidly among British South Asian females. They suggest that possibly some lifestyle factors, like having fewer children today, getting pregnant later in life, an increase in screening uptake, oral contraceptive usage, alcohol consumption, and possibly smoking may have had an impact.
Dr. Day and team said, however, that after carrying out their study in Leicester, the evidence is [...]

Some lifestyle changes, including getting adequate sleep, the right diet, exercise, and proper rehydration can help reduce the number of times you get migraines, says Dr. Robert Sheeler, who works at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Dr Sheeler adds that even for people who do not get frequent migraines, they can have a major impact on their lives. He suggests trying out some lifestyle changes which most likely will help reduce the number of migraine bouts you experience as well as the severity of each attack. If they still persist, you should seek medical advice on altering your treatment plan.
Migraine typically involves moderate/severe pain, usually on one side of the head. Patients commonly complain of a throbbing (pulsating) and [...]

Children who suffer from a second or third concussion take much longer to recover, according to a new study published in the medical journal Pediatrics.
The study, titled "Time Interval Between Concussions and Symptom Duration", included a total of 280 people (between the ages of 11 and 22) who received emergency department treatment for concussion.
A concussion is a traumatic injury to the brain caused by a blow or violent shaking.
Normally it only takes a couple of weeks for the symptoms of concussion to go, which include:
Amnesia.
Depression
Disturbed sleep.
Hyperacusis - sensitivity to sounds.
Irritability.
Lack of concentration, focus.
Moodiness.
Photophobia - sensitivity to light.

Alcohol consumption by adolescent girls has increased substantially - now on a par with boys - and this may be influenced by alcohol advertising, argues an editorial in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal)
Research shows that alcohol advertising in general and alcohol consumption by adolescents have both increased over a similar period.
"The problem with this equality is that alcohol, all drinkable forms of it, is not an equal-opportunity substance," writes Dr. Ken Flegel, senior associate editor, CMAJ. "What is at issue is not the equality of drinking choice but rather the inequality of the impact of alcohol on health. On average, women have a smaller body mass than men, with proportionately less of it composed of water, which results [...]
