(October 23, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Philadelphia According to research presented at the American College of Rheumatology meeting, patients with lupus who suffer depression are at an even greater risk for cardiovascular disease. Researchers studied over 150 women with lupus and who had no prior history of cardiac problems. Results showed that lupus patients with meaningful symptoms of depression were nearly 4 times more likely to suffer atherosclerosis. From Montreal According to research presented at the International Diabetes Federation World Congress of Diabetes, having both diabetes and schizophrenia increases ones likelihood of suffering a cardiovascular event. Researchers studied the health records of over 125,000 diabetic patients, 2,952 of whom had both diabetes and schizophrenia. They found that patients with both conditions were at a 20% increased risk of heart disease, and also, 49% less likely to have revascularization to treat the cardiovascular event. And finally, from Sweden Even low alcohol consumption may be bad for ones general health, according to a report published in the journal Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation. Researchers analyzed the amount of medical care costs and events that were alcohol related, using information from the 2002 Swedish Social Cost of Alcohol Project. They found that men who drank at most 5 units of alcohol a day, and women who drank 2.5 units a day, were responsible for more health service costs than people who did not drink alcohol.

(Richard Feynman on hand drums and chanting) [Feynman] There's this tremendous mess Of waves all over in space Which is the light bouncing around the room And going from one thing to the other And it's all really there But you gotta stop and think about it About the complexity to really get the pleasure And it's all really there The inconceivable nature of nature

(October 19, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Denver - According to a report presented at the American Dietetic Association meeting, children 1 to 2 years old are at increased risk of having an unhealthy diet. Researchers studied over 3300 children with the Feeding Infants and Toddler Survey. Though these children have seen their diets improve over the past six years, results showed that they still consume too much saturated fat and not enough fruits or vegetables. From Atlanta - Small turtles still being sold in pet stores across the US are again being linked with a salmonella outbreak, according to a report published in the journal Pediatrics. Researchers noted that, during a 2007 salmonella outbreak, 107 infections involved the same salmonella strain. In fact, of the 78 patients interviewed, 60% reported coming in contact with a turtle shortly before their illness. Researchers maintain that children who handle turtles are at a 41 times increased risk of salmonella. And finally, from Philadelphia - According to a report presented at the American College of Rheumatology meeting, overweight people who lose moderate amount of weight are at a reduced risk of osteoarthritis of the knee. Researchers studied over 1,400 men and women 45 and older for up to six years. People who gained weight or maintained their weight were more likely to develop knee OA than people who lost even 5% of their weight

(October 9, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Taiwan According to a report published in the journal Stroke, adults with shingles are at increased risk of stroke. Researchers compared nearly 7, 800 adults treated for shingles with over 23,000 people who did not have the rash. They found that 1.7% of patients in the shingles group had a stroke a year after treatment, compared with only 1.3% who did not have the condition. From the UK The type of treatment a woman has after a miscarriage does not preclude her ability to have a child in the future, according to a report published in the British Medical Journal. Researchers surveyed 3 groups of patients from the Miscarriage treatment trial--five years after the study was completed each group having been treated differently following their miscarriage. Results showed no differences between the three groups; as 82% of the women went on to have a child after their miscarriage treatment. And finally, from Utah According to a report published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, chronic kidney disease patients improve their survival chances with regular exercise. Researchers used information from Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, examining data on over 15,000 participants--5.9% of whom had chronic kidney disease. Results showed that among this 5.9%, those who got the recommended amount of exercise per week had a 56% reduced risk of dying through a seven year follow up period.
