That is not to say that there’s nothing to be said for exercise. It is, for example, linked with a reduced risk of chronic and potentially fatal conditions such [...] (Source: Dr John Biffa's Blog) Dr John Biffa's Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2793448 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:14:37 +0100 2793448 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2376408&cid=t_162184_117_f&fid=34696&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.straightfromthedoc.com%2F50226711%2Fbreasfeeding_is_good_for_moms_too.php © myllissa Breast milk is the best milk for babies, we've always been told.

Bilingual Babies Get Head Start --- Before They Can Talk: - Unlike the monolingual group, the bilingual group was able to successfully learn a new sound type and use it to predict where each character would pop up. - The bilingual babies' skill applies to more than just switching between languages. Mehler likened this apparently enhanced cognitive ability to a brain selecting "the right tool for the right operation"—also called executive function. - In this basic process, the brain, ever flexible, nimbly switches from one learned response to another as ...

Three key items: 1. The agency isn’t ready to approve AstraZeneca’s drug Seroquel XR for major depressive disorder, the company said. The drug — an extended release version of the company’s blockbuster — has already been approved for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. But the agency issued a complete response letter asking for more information before making a final decision on whether the drug should be approved for the newest indication. The original version of Seroquel is likely to lose patent protection in 2011. 2. Also likely to lose patent protection in 2011 is Takeda’s diabetes pill Actos. By that time, the company hopes to ...

It’s not necessarily altruism. Sick employees miss more work. What health conditions are most likely to lead to absences? The answers may not be obvious. In a list of common conditions and behaviors contained in a forthcoming survey by the HR consulting firm Watson Wyatt Worldwide, the one with the biggest share of folks missing 10 or more days of work in the last year was heart disease — 30%. Next highest by that measure was diabetes at 22%. For depression, the figure was 18%, while high blood pressure and stress/anxiety were a bit lower.

One out of every four citizens of the United Arab Emirates has diabetes — a federation that includes the city-states of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. 2. While the treatment of people with diabetes who suffer a heart attack has improved, along with subsequent survival rates, mortality is still higher than in non-diabetics, a study shows. 3. About 250,000 children in Germany have diabetes and concerns grow as three to four new children here are diagnosed with diabetes every day… some families have turned to a private nanny service to help with the rigorous medical care, often including thousands of insulin injections throughout a patient’s childhood. 4. In adults, the development...

Blood sugar hogs the seats on the bus in most diabetics, therefore reducing the amount of Vitamin C we can absorb. This is the premise of The GAA Theory: high glucose levels hinder vitamin C entry into cells. Vitamin C is vitally important for many functions throughout the body - a big one being metabolism. Glucose and Vitamin C are similar in the way they enter the cells. Both molecules require help from insulin. The name for the process that brings glucose and Vitamin C through cell membranes is insulin-mediated uptake. The insulin-mediated uptake of glucose and vitamin C uses white blood cells. White blood cells have more insulin pum...

Here are the key numbers: In 2005, the federal government spent almost eighty billion dollars on diabetes care, writes Linda von Wartburg, reporting on a study commissioned by drug giant Novo Nordisk as part of its "Changing Diabetes" campaign. In fact, one in every eight healthcare dollars - or twelve percent of the budget - was spent on diabetes. Need some more perspective? Well, according to the Novo study, this amounts to more than the entire budget of the Department of Education. Phew.Yes, diabetes care is costing a lot of money. But the ballooning cost of diabetes treatment is only part of the problem. Of...

The researchers found that the sperm of the men with diabetes were healthy in many respects. The shape and abundance of the sperm from type 1 diabetic males were perfectly normal and apparently they were great swimmers. However, when the DNA was examined, there was more damage to the DNA of the diabetic men. Around 52% of the DNA in their sperm cells was fragmented, compared to only 32% in the men without diabetes. There was also a higher rate of deletions in the DNA inside their mitochondria, separate DNA found within each cell. The results of this study suggest type 1 diabetes may cause d...
