Diabetes
Dennis Paul, PhD, Associate Professor of Pharmacology, and Harry Gould, MD, PhD, the Tom Benson Professor of Neurology at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, have been awarded one of two scientific research grants made in 2009 by The Neuropathy Association. The $80,000 grant will fund research to learn how to prevent nerve cell death in people with uncontrolled or untreated diabetes resulting in neuropathy.
Childbearing Increases Risk Of Metabolic Syndrome

Pregnancy / Obstetrics
Childbearing is associated directly with future development of the metabolic syndrome abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, insulin resistance and other cardiovascular disease risk factors and for women who have had gestational diabetes, the risk is more than twice greater, according to a study co-authored by University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

New Links Between Alcohol Abuse, Depression, Obesity In Young Women

Alcohol / Addiction / Illegal Drugs
There is new evidence that depression, obesity and alcohol abuse or dependency are interrelated conditions among young adult women but not men. Using data collected when young adults were 24, 27 and 30 years of age, a team of University of Washington researchers found that nearly half the sample of 776 young adults tracked during the study met the criteria for one of these conditions at each of these time points.
Obesity Hinders Chemotherapy Treatment In Children With Leukemia

Lymphoma / Leukemia / Myeloma
Obesity is an important factor contributing to chemotherapy resistance and increasing relapse rates among children with leukemia, according to recent findings published online first in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. Obesity is associated with increased incidence and mortality of many types of cancer.
Can Tea And Coffee Prevent Type 2 Diabetes?

Diabetes
Researchers claim that drinking at least three cups of tea or coffee a day can reduce your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 42 per cent. The Dutch scientists, from the Julius Centre for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Centre in Utrecht, evaluated questionnaires filled in by 40,000 people. They concluded: "Both coffee and tea consumption were associated with a lowered risk of Type 2 diabetes.
Experts Call For Sweetened Drinks To Be Taxed In America
2009-09-23 08:00
Diabetes
American public health experts have called for a tax to be added to sweetened drinks in a bid to fight the growing obesity epidemic. A group led by academics from Yale and Harvard universities proposed the 'cola tax' which would raise the price of the average can of sweetened drink by 15 to 20 per cent.

Three new HealthPartners Research Foundation studies will examine ways to prevent and treat childhood obesity and hypertension. One study will look at interventions to prevent obesity in children ages 5-9, another will focus on obesity prevention in children ages 2-5, while another will examine hypertension in children and adolescents, including the quality and cost of care.

Cardiovascular / Cardiology
Results of a multicenter study in Asia, demonstrating that drug-eluting stents are effective with a low rate of complications in diabetic patients, was presented at the 21st annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF).

Heart Disease
A new study by researchers at the University of Colorado Denver and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) shows vitamin D plays a vital role in reducing the risk of death associated with older age. The research, just published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, evaluated the association between vitamin D levels in the blood and the death rates of those 65 and older.
Pancreatic Fat Levels May Help Predict Diabetes
2009-09-23 03:00
Obesity / Weight Loss / Fitness
Researchers have long suspected that overweight people tend to have large fat deposits in their pancreases, but they've been unable to confirm or calculate how much fat resides there because of the organ's location. Until now. Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center are the first in the U.S. to use an imaging technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to measure the amount of pancreatic fat in humans.
