PERSPECTIVES Small Heat Shock Proteins, Amyloid Fibrils, and Nicotine Stimulate a Common Immune Suppressive Pathway with Implications for Future Therapies
The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) is central to the anti-inflammatory function of the vagus nerve in a physiological mechanism termed the inflammatory reflex. Studies on the inflammatory reflex have been instrumental for the current development of the field of bioelectronic medicine. An independent investigation of the biological role of αB-crystallin (HspB5), the most abundant gene transcript present in active multiple sclerosis lesions in human brains, also led to α7nAChR. Induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in HspB5–/– mice results in greater p...

Implementing Practice Changes in Family Medicine to Enhance Care and Prevent Disease Progression
This issue epitomizes family medicine with a heavy emphasis on research to prevent illness and illness progression. Which patients will experience significant symptomatic knee osteoarthritis? Do the elderly use retail clinics, and what is the impact on care for chronic conditions? Does capitation payment enhance or decrease same-day access? How do primary care practices risk stratify to provide integrated care? Can risk screening and on-site providers enhance psychiatric care? What screening questions should we ask adolescents, to identify problematic drug use? A report on a practice intervention to improve opioid prescrib...

Hospital-Based Addiction Medicine Healthcare Providers: High Demand, Short Supply
Substance use disorders account for a significant burden of disease and place an enormous strain on the health care system in the United States and beyond. Despite death tolls climbing, a myriad of evidence-based medications exist to effectively treat many substance use disorders including nicotine, alcohol, and opioid use disorders. To date, hospitals have largely been overlooked as a setting ripe for the delivery of specialized addiction care. This occurs despite a high lifetime prevalence of a substance use disorder (50%) occurring among hospitalized individuals. A potential barrier to this is the lack of addiction medi...

Five strategies to keep your athlete engaged and positive after ACL surgery
About the blogger: Melissa Christino, MD, is an orthopedic sports medicine fellow in Boston Children’s Hospital’s Sports Medicine Division.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in children and teens can be challenging injuries. While the surgery for ACL reconstruction generally involves minimal hospital time, patients must complete six to nine months of aggressive physical therapy to rehabilitate the injured leg, help optimize results and prevent re-injury.
Recovering from an ACL injury can be more devastating to a young athlete than the injury itself, and it is important for parents to be aware of the psychological...

UCLA volunteers at free clinic solve small problems for poor that could become catastrophic
It was a typical misunderstanding that could have led to disastrous consequences. The man had run out of medication to control his hypertension. But he couldn’t afford to get it refilled, or so he thought.
So instead of picking up a simple, generic medication at Wal-Mart or Target for $4, the man decided to go without it and unknowingly put himself at risk for a stroke. All because he didn’t realize he could obtain the medication cheaply.
Fortunately, he was one of hundreds who were treated by UCLA health care workers volunteering at the Care Harbor’s annual health clinic held Sept. 11-14 at the Los Angeles Sports Ar...

Link between Physical Activity Type in Adolescence and Body Composition in Adulthood
Purpose
We investigated whether type of physical activity (PA) (sports, running, and fitness/dance) engaged in during adolescence is associated with body composition in late adolescence or early adulthood.
Methods
Data were drawn from 631 participants in the Nicotine Dependence in Teens study, a prospective investigation of students ages 12–13 yr at inception. Self-report PA data were collected at baseline, in grade 7, and every 3–4 months thereafter during the 5 yr of high school (1999–2005). Anthropometric indicators (height, weight, waist circumference, triceps, and subscapular skinfold thickness) were measur...

A longitudinal exploration of pain tolerance and participation in contact sports
Conclusions Those who cease participation in contact sports become less pain tolerant of experimental pain, possibly a result of catastrophizing. The results suggest that athletes who commit to contact sports find pain less bothersome over time, possibly as a result of experience and learning to cope with pain. Athletes who continue to participate in contact sports have a higher pain tolerance, report less bothersomeness and have higher direct coping than those who drop out. In addition, tolerance to ischaemic pain increased over the season for participating athletes. Implications Having a low pain tolerance should not pre...

Smokers Die About A Decade Earlier On Average
WebMD Medical News
By Salynn Boyles
Reviewed by Laura J. Martin, MD
Jan. 23, 2013 — Women who smoke are now just as likely to die of lung cancer and other smoking-related diseases as men — and smokers of both sexes die, on average, about a decade earlier than non-smokers.
These were among the findings from two major studies examining death rate trends among smokers published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
“The studies highlight the fact that cigarette smoking remains a leading cause of death in the U.S.,” says Steven A. Schroeder, MD, who directs the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center at ...

Participation in High School Sports and Bystander Intentions, Efficacy to Intervene, and Rape Myth Beliefs
Debate exists as to whether male athletes are more prone to commit acts of sexual violence and maintain problematic attitudes about sexual assault. To contribute to the literature on this relationship, this study posed the following research questions: (1) Do those students who participated in high school sports and those who did not differ significantly in their attitudes about sexual violence and willingness to intervene as a bystander? Do these differ among types of rape myths and bystander intervention situations? (2) Within a group of athletes, are there significant differences by gender or type of sport (contact spor...

More Baby Boomers Turning To Marijuana, Study Says
(CNN) — Older Americans are increasingly passing the pipe. About 9% of US adults between the ages of 50 and 64 have used marijuana at least once during the survey year, while 3% of those over 65 have done so, new research finds.
For middle-age adults, the percentage of cannabis users has doubled over nearly a decade, according to the study, published Thursday in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence. Older adults have seen a seven-fold increase in that period.
Though marijuana use is increasing among older Americans, “most of these people are not first-time users,” said Joseph Palamar, senior study a...
