Associations between cardiorespiratory fitness in youth and the incidence of site-specific cancer in men: a cohort study with register linkage
CONCLUSION: We report a number of protective associations between higher CRF in healthy young men and the subsequent hazard of site-specific cancers. These results have implications for public health policymaking, strengthening the incentive to promote health through improving CRF in youth.PMID:37582636 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2022-106617

Advancing Research Methods for Common Problems in Family Medicine and Family Medicine Practice Management
Several research groups from multiple institutions provide structure and methods to improve research for family medicine. Colon cancer research includes which common screening test for colon cancer most often results in completed colonoscopy. Authors explore how some cardiovascular preventive medications are overused while others are underused. Three research papers specifically advance improvements for practice management, 3 articles address diabetes, 3 others cover family physicians caring for specific populations (pregnant women, children, and those with sports-related issues). There are practical research articles on p...

Tai chi can improve life for people with chronic health conditions
Last summer, I practiced tai chi with my 83-year old mother at the senior center near her home. The hour-long class helped me realize why this flowing, meditative practice is an ideal exercise for older people with health issues. My mom is doing well, but she has osteoporosis and had a heart valve replacement a few years ago.
Practiced for centuries in China, tai chi has become popular in the United States in recent years, thanks in part to the growing evidence for its many health benefits. Not only does tai chi improve balance and flexibility, it may prevent falls, ease pain, and even help your heart.
Like walking, which ...

Physical activity levels and counseling by health care providers in cancer survivors
Publication date: Available online 26 January 2017 Source:Preventive Medicine Author(s): Yelena N. Tarasenko, Eric A. Miller, Chen Chen, Nancy E. Schoenberg Physical activity guidelines for cancer survivors issued by the American Cancer Society and the American College of Sports Medicine emphasize the essential role of a health care provider (HCP) in counseling cancer survivors to achieve healthier lifestyles. However, research has not established whether HCP's recommendations to engage in physical activity are associated with increased physical activity levels of cancer survivors. The study examines this potential associ...

Republished editorial: Physical activity for cancer survivors: Beneficial in the short term, but longer term outcomes are lacking
This article is an abridged version of a paper that was published on bmj.com. Cite this article as: BMJ 2012;344:e7998 In 2008, more than 12 million people worldwide were diagnosed with cancer (http://globocan.iarc.fr/). Because of improvements in early diagnosis and the introduction of more aggressive treatments over the past 20 years, cancer survivors are now living longer.1 However, treatment often leads to a range of undesirable and debilitating adverse effects. In the linked meta-analysis, Fong and colleagues assess the effects of physical activity after treatment for cancer on 48 separate health related outcomes.2 Th...

The effect of physical activity on the mental and physical health of childhood cancer survivors
Conclusions
Exercise training improves aerobic fitness in childhood cancer survivors, yet the small sample size did not allow identification of additional expected benefits. Nevertheless, changes in fitness over 6 months were significantly correlated with measures of body composition, bone health and quality of life.
Childhood cancer survivors should be continuously encouraged to exercise, in order to both improve their immediate well-being, and to decrease their risks for potential late effects of pediatric cancer.
The study was funded by the Israel Cancer Association.

New Injection Neuters Dogs Without Surgery
BOSTON (CBS) – It’s one of our first jobs as pet owners, getting the dog neutered.
The surgery means a long day in the hospital and a week recovering. Now, staff at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine is training on a non-surgical way to sterilize male dogs.
“It’s nice that they don’t have to go through the standard surgery approach. And they have an easier recovery, faster recovery,” explains Dr. April Paul.
“I think it’s important for people that don’t want to change the physique of the dog by neutering him.”
Instead of surgery, the dog receives a light sedat...

‘Bionic Pancreas’ For Diabetics Developed At MGH, BU
Scientists have made big progress on a “bionic pancreas” to free some people with diabetes from the daily ordeal of managing their disease. A wearable, experimental device passed a real-world test, constantly monitoring blood sugar and automatically giving insulin or a sugar-boosting drug as needed, doctors said Sunday.
The device improved blood-sugar control more than standard monitors and insulin pumps did when tested for five days on 20 adults and 32 teens. Unlike other artificial pancreases in development that just correct high blood sugar, this one also can fix too-low sugar, mimicking what a natural pancr...

Stop hunting for zebras in Texas: end the diagnostic culture of "rule-out": We need to make the most of clinical context rather than order every investigation, writes Saurabh Jha
"The patient's skull was struck by a baseball bat. He has a perfectly legitimate reason for subarachnoid hemorrhage. He already had a CT [computed tomogram] of the head showing the bleed in good detail. Why another?" I remonstrated with Watson, the neurosurgeon. "But you don't know that there is no intracranial aneurysm. You can't rule that out. He needs a CT angiogram of the brain immediately," protested Watson. Hit by a hard object (cause) and blood in brain (effect) is deductive reasoning at its simplest. But Watson was correct: I could not rule out cerebral artery aneurysm without a CT angiogram. I could not, for that ...
