Weight loss cures diabetes: Time to shed those extra pound and get rid of your diabetes at the same time.

clipped from www.ipowerblogs.com Cure Diabetes with Weight Loss, Not Drugs, Expert Says (PR Newswire via Yahoo! Finance) According to leading weight loss expert, Dr. Kent Sasse, some of the most common and effective treatments for diabetes actually cause more weight gain. Insulin, the primary treatment for diabetes, is known to cause weight gain in diabetic patients, in part because insulin acts on the fat storage cells to block the breakdown and promote more storage of these fats.

Lasers detct Disease In Patient Breath

I hope the public get to use this technology and not just the dreaded insurance companies...

clipped from dsc.discovery.com Lasers Detect Disease in Patient Breath Feb. 22, 2008 -- Diagnosing life threatening diseases could soon be as easy as breathing. Researchers at the National Institute for Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado are now using lasers to detect specific chemical compounds in the breath of patients with cancer, asthma and diabetes. The technique, once perfected and commercialized, could save patients and insurance companies thousands of dollars and make disease diagnosis and monitoring faster and more efficient. "We hope that the technology will develop to be a very useful tool for preventive medicine," said Jun Ye, a study author and a physics professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder. "It can provide an early warning system to potential patients." In a much simplified version of the technique, the researchers simply look and see what colour the breath is after interacting with the comb and then diagnose a condition based on the colour.

More evidence suggests a link to Lyme disease

Some cases of autism spectrum disorders are induced by Lyme Disease.

clipped from www.wddty.com Autism: More evidence suggests a link to Lyme disease 14 February 2008 Up to a third of all cases of autism may be the result of Lyme disease and other chronic infections, new research suggests. Researcher Robert Bransfield believes that tick-borne infections, such as Lyme disease, can weaken the immune system during infancy and make the sufferer more vulnerable to autistic-spectrum diseases. He estimates that between 20% and 30% of all autistic children may be infected by Lyme disease or other similar infections. If so, it means that 140,000 autistic children in the USA alone have the problem as a direct result of an infection. If they were treated with high-dose antibiotics – considered to be the most effective therapy, especially in the early stages of infection – the savings in healthcare and education costs would amount to around $358bn, he estimates.

Scary Things I Didn't Know About Lyme Disease

Lyme Disease can often mimic ALS.

clipped from blogs.knoxnews.com Through it all, Michael maintained to numerous doctors that he had been bitten by a tick shortly before becoming ill, and believed that he had an infection resulting from the bite. He was told by these doctors that he was in denial about ALS diagnosis and sent on his merry way to get on with the business of dying. Those of you who know Michael also know that bit of advice didn't sit too well with him. So we continued to search for answers, and we finally found them with the help of a doctor in Philadelphia who diagnosed and treated Michael for Lyme Disease. Within a year of intensive IV antibiotic therapy he was breathing normally and having no trouble feeding himself. Within a year and a half he was walking with a cane. Within 2 years he was walking normally and to all outside observers appears completely normal (though he was left with a great deal of chronic pain as a souvenir).

Antidepressant Drug Treatment For Preventing Recurrence In Depression

clipped from www.sciencedaily.com Does It Help To Continue Antidepressant Drug Treatment For Preventing Recurrence In Depression? Apparently it doesn't help much, according to a study by Dutch investigators. Maintenance antidepressant (AD) medication is the most commonly used preventive strategy in a highly recurrent disease, i.e. depression. Little is known about the discontinuation of maintenance AD use and the association with recurrence in daily clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to examine the discontinuation rate of maintenance AD in daily clinical practice in recurrently depressed patients and the associated risk of recurrence. Prospectively AD maintenance medication and recurrence were examined in 172 euthymic patients with recurrent depression. AD user profiles before recurrence (nonusers, intermittent users, continuous users) were examined and related to recurrence over a 2-year follow-up period.

clipped from www.reuters.com Daytime dozing may be warning sign of stroke CHICAGO (Reuters) - Older people who have significant trouble staying awake during the day have more than four times the normal risk of having a stroke, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. They also found a higher risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems in seniors who regularly nod off during the day without planning to. "Even when we controlled for things like hypertension, diabetes, physical activity, obesity and socioeconomic status, we found that people who had significant daytime dozing were much more likely to end up with stroke," the risk of stroke was 2.6 times greater for those classified as doing "some dozing" during the day compared to those with "no dozing." Those in the "significant dozing" group had a 4.5 times greater risk. people with sleep apnea who briefly stop breathing throughout the night are at high risk of stroke. This can cause daytime sleepiness.
