Health advisory issued for portion of beach due to oil spill FT WALTON BEACH – Effective immediately, in response to oil mousse, tar mats, and extensive tar balls, Brown rice substitution can help reduce diabetes risks Richmond, VA 2010-06-16 17:24:29 (GMT) – A new study suggests replacing white rice with brown may aid in reducing diabetes risks. As reported by HealthDay News, researchers found that the substitution of brown rice or another whole grain may reduce Type 2 diabetes risks by 16 percent. Dr. Qi Sun, an instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston researcher, and lead researcher of the study, is quoted in the report as stating of the findings, “This is an important message for public health. White rice is potentially harmful for the risk of type 2 diabetes…Over the last decade, rice consumption in the U.S. has really increased a lot, but more than 70 percent of the rice consumed is white rice. People should replace white rice with brown rice or whole grains.” More information about the study may be found in the June 14 publication of the Archives of Internal Medicine journal. Abuse of mother may increase childhood obesity risks
U.S. 2010-06-09 15:55:29 (GMT) – A new study suggests children of women who were victims of abuse have an increased risk of becoming obese. As reported by HealthDay News, the study on approximately 1,600 children, showed that children in this circumstance had a higher risk of becoming significantly overweight by age five. Dr. Renee Boynton-Jarrett, of the Boston University School of Medicine, and colleagues, are quoted in the report as writing of their findings, “Medical and public health practitioners must consider the impact of family violence on obesity risk when designing and implementing primary obesity prevention interventions…Interventions to prevent intimate partner violence, particularly those aimed at educating adolescents about healthy relationships prior to childbearing, may play a crucial role in prevention of early childhood obesity.” More information about the study may be available in the June publication of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine journal. Caffeine addiction may prevent morning cup pick-me-up
2010-06-04 14:42:11 (GMT)- U.S. – A new study suggests caffeine addiction may prevent coffee drinkers from seeing anticipated stimulant effects from drinking their morning cup. As reported by Reuters, researchers from Bristol University found that high caffeine consumers develop a tolerance for the stimulant, and may not see the intended perky effects from one caffeinated drink. The scientists are quoted in the report as stating of their findings after testing consumers using a placebo and caffeine, “Although frequent consumers feel alerted by caffeine, especially by their morning tea, coffee, or other caffeine-containing drink, evidence suggests that this is actually merely the reversal of the fatiguing effects of acute caffeine withdrawal.” More information about the study may be available in the Neuropsychopharmacology journal, published by Nature. Minutes of exercise triggers longer effects 2010-06-01 14:40:10 (GMT)- A recent study suggests exercising for minutes can have longer benefits for the body. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), researchers found that ten minutes of exercise can trigger an hour of metabolic changes. However, the benefits are said to correlate with how fit a person is. Dr. Robert Gerszten of Massachusetts General Hospital, is quoted by the AP as stating of the findings, “Ten minutes of exercise has at least an hour of effects on your body We have a chemical snapshot of what the more fit person looks like. Now we have to see if making someone’s metabolism look like that snapshot, whether or not that’s going to improve their performance.” More information about the study may be available in the Science Translational Medicine journal. Toothbrushing linked to heart health 2010-06-01 14:31:08 (GMT)- Researchers have found a link between regular toothbrushing and heart health. As reported by HealthDay News, a recent study suggests that maintaining good oral hygiene may lower one’s risk of heart disease. Richard Watt, co-author of the study, is quoted in the report as stating of the findings, “We were surprised to find a relationship between toothbrushing frequency and both cardiovascular disease and inflammatory markers in the blood… We have not established a causal relationship, however. More research is needed to test if improving patients’ oral hygiene to reduce their gum inflammation has an effect on cardiovascular disease risk.” Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventive cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City and spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, is further quoted in the report as stating of the benefits of good oral hygiene, “We talk often about lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, exercise and diet, and one of the things we can’t forget about when it comes to self-maintenance is oral hygiene… It’s one new thing. Don’t smoke, eat right and brush your teeth.” Online program may aid asthma control U.S. (WiredPRNews.com)2010-05-26 02:24:43 (GMT) – A recent study suggests individuals with asthma may be helped in controlling the condition by using a web-based program. As reported by HealthDay News, researchers found that patients using an online program that assists with monitoring and dosing were able to control their severe asthma long-term with a required lower dose of an oral corticosteroid. Dr. Simone Hashimoto, a research fellow from the department of respiratory medicine of the University of Amsterdam, is quoted in the report as stating in a news release, “We know that in patients with prednisone-dependent asthma it is important to adjust the daily dose of oral corticosteroids to the lowest possible level in order to reduce long-term side effects…Our study shows that a novel Internet-supported strategy including daily measurements of an objective marker of airway inflammation, FENO [exhaled nitric oxide levels], and supervision by an asthma nurse allows frequent adjustments of prednisone dose.” The research was reportedly presented at the recent American Thoracic Society conference in New Orleans. Researchers view aging as possible disease Researchers have proposed that the aging process may be a disease. London (WiredPRNews.com)2010-05-24 18:58:02 (GMT) – Researchers on aging are now studying the process as a possible disease. As reported by Reuters, some experts have suggested that by examining the biological process from a new perspective, it may be beneficial for finding more effective drugs for age related conditions. David Gems, biogerontologist who recently presented at a London based aging conference, “Turning Back the Clock,” is quoted by Reuters as stating of the issue, “If aging is seen as a disease, it changes how we respond to it. For example, it becomes the duty of doctors to treat it… Because aging is not viewed as a disease, the whole process of bringing drugs to market can’t be applied to drugs that treat aging. This creates a disincentive to pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs to treat it.” Brain cancer, cell phone link study findings inconclusive
2010-05-18 17:57:17 (GMT) - Recent findings of an international study pertaining to a link between brain cancer and cell phone use were shown to be inconclusive. Recent findings of a study regarding a possible link between cell phone use and brain cancer were inconclusive. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), researchers of the international study found that most cell phone use was not a contributor to a higher risk of meningioma or glioma brain tumor development. As noted in the report, the authors suggest that further research is needed to make a conclusion about the certainty that a link does not exist between radiation from cell phones and brain cancer. The Mobile Manufacturers Forum is quoted by the AP as releasing the statement regarding the research, “The mobile phone industry takes all questions regarding the safety of mobile phones seriously and has a strong commitment to supporting ongoing scientific research.” More information about the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer study will be published in the International Journal of Epidemiology. Researcher Dr. Joachim Aerts stated, “We hope that by further development of our method it will be possible to increase survival in patients with mesothelioma and eventually vaccinate persons who have been in contact with asbestos to prevent them from getting asbestos related diseases.” New therapy tested for deadly lung cancer 2010-04-12 01:54:40 (GMT) - A new therapy is reportedly being tested for the treatment of squamous non-small cell lung cancer. As reported by UPI.com, researchers in the U.S. are testing a viral therapy called Reolysin on up to 55 cancer patients who meet the criteria in a clinical study for the treatment. As noted in the report, the experimental treatment reportedly works with other therapies used to eradicate cancer cells, without destroying normal cells in patients. Dr. Alain Mita is quoted in the report as stating of the new study in a statement, “The study offers new hope for this group of patients with lung cancer.” As noted in the report, enrollment for the trial has begun by Cancer Therapy & Research Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio researchers. App designed for ER doctors and nurses An Irving doctor has created an iPhone application to assist emergency room workers. Irving, Texas (WiredPRNews.com)2010-04-09 04:50:50 (GMT) – An iPhone application has been created for emergency room doctors and nurses. As reported by The 33 News, Dr. Harvey Castro, a Las Colinas Medical Center in Irving emergency room physician has developed an iPhone application called IV-Meds, which helps ensure patients are given correct medicine dosages. Dr. Castro is quoted in the report as stating of the app, “I thought wouldn’t it be nice to put all that information that in that book into an iPhone where you could just open the app and hit two clicks and boom, there is your dose.” Emergency Room nurse Sherry Stallings is further quoted by The 33 News as stating of its benefits, “I’m sure it’s already saved some lives, I mean we always double check, triple check all our meds anyways… It’s just another great tool that helps verify your dosage and makes it a little bit speedier.” Cancer News: Scientists working on cancer warning test Washington (WiredPRNews.com)2010-04-08 15:45:46 (GMT) – New testing is in the works designed to warn smokers about associated risks, and may possibly aid in the reversal of reactions that may lead to cancer. As reported by the Associated Press (AP), researchers may be able to assess lung cancer risks of smokers using a genetic windpipe change, and are developing testing to facilitate earlier detection. Dr. Avrum Spira of Boston University School of Medicine, who headed the research, is quoted by the AP as stating of the findings for test participants who were given an experimental drug, “They’re heading toward lung cancer, and we can identify them with this genomic test.” More information about the research may be found in Wednesday’s publication of the Science Translational Medicine journal. As noted in the report, approximately 160,000 people in the U.S. died from lung cancer last year.
