Markers of PCOS inherited, persist and raise risk for heart disease, diabetes
Menstrual irregularity and unhealthy metabolic traits associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are inherited and persist with age, putting women with PCOS at a high risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. view more (2006-04-18)
Growth hormone treatment for HIV patients improves abdominal fat, but worsens glucose level
For human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with treatment-related abdominal obesity and growth hormone deficiency, receiving low-dose growth hormone resulted in improvement in fat and blood pressure measurements but worsened glucose levels. view more (2008-08-04)
Penn study points to new direction for pancreas cell regeneration
Replacing faulty or missing cells with new insulin-making cells has been the object of diabetes research for the last decade. Past studies in tissue culture have suggested that one type of pancreas cell could be coaxed to transform into insulin-producing islet cells. view more (2007-04-04)
Fitness-oriented gym classes demonstrate measurable health benefits for overweight children
Overweight children who took part in lifestyle-focused, fitness-oriented gym classes showed significant improvement in body composition, fitness, and insulin levels. view more (2005-10-04)
Sleep disordered breathing and obesity: Independent effects, causes
In a study that addressed the issue of insulin sensitivity with respect to sleep disordered breathing (SDB), Naresh Punjabi, M.D., Ph.D. sought to examine the relationship between SDB and insulin resistance using the best tools at his disposal to do so. view more (2009-01-23)
Troublesome North-American mosquitoes display resistance to insecticides
New evidence published online in Pest Management Science reports the first signs of resistance to pyrethroid insecticides in a population of mosquitoes from Marin County, California. The species in question is not only a major pest, but also acts as a vector of West Nile virus, a virus that spread rapidly westward across the United States after it... view more... (2004-01-09)
Antibiotic resistant bacteria found in fertilizer
Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) have been found in sewage sludge, a by-product of waste-water treatment frequently used as a fertilizer. view more (2009-05-29)
Large fat cells may increase risk of type 2 diabetes in women
Middle-aged women with large abdominal fat cells have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life compared to women with smaller fat cells. view more (2009-09-21)
Researchers discover how a high-fat diet causes type 2 diabetes
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered a molecular link between a high-fat, Western-style diet, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. view more (2005-12-29)
Action needed to avoid HIV drug resistance in Africa
We should stop and think about the risks of resistance, and ways of minimising them, before increasing access to antiretroviral therapy in Africa, argue researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2004-01-29)
Increased glucose level is a strong risk factor for colorectal cancer
Diabetes is a very common illness that affects more than 20 million people in the U.S. and it is estimated an additional 54 million Americans have pre-diabetes, a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-11-02)
Human hormone blocker found to help prevent obesity and diabetes: study
A new study finds that a chemical found in the body is capable of promoting weight loss, improving insulin resistance and reversing diabetes in an animal model. The hormone is gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor blockade. view more (2008-01-04)
Losing a bit of weight and doing some exercise slows progression of chronic liver disease
Losing weight and exercising regularly slows progression of chronic liver disease in those who are overweight, indicates a study in Gut. Being overweight is bad for the liver. And non-alcoholic fatty liver is increasingly being diagnosed in those who are overweight, diabetic, or who have insulin resistance syndrome, a precursor to diabetes.... view more... (2004-02-11)
Software might revolutionize glucose monitoring in critically ill patients
Researchers have developed a new computerized system to easily monitor the levels of glucose in the blood of patients in intensive care. view more (2005-12-19)
Antibiotic Resistance Could Increase Rates Of UK Gonorrhoea Infection (p 1867)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET are calling for UK gonorrhoea treatment guidelines to be revised in light of new evidence showing a steep increase in antibiotic resistance. After chlamydia, gonorrhoea is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK. The symptoms include pain when passing... view more... (2003-05-28)
Diabetes gene raises odds of lower birth weight
Pediatric researchers have found that a gene previously shown to be involved in the development of type 2 diabetes also predisposes children to having a lower birth weight. view more (2009-07-30)
Key protein molecule linked to diverse human chronic inflammatory diseases
Liwu Li, associate professor of biological sciences at Virginia Tech, has revealed a common connection between the cellular innate immunity network and human chronic inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis, Type 2 Diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. view more (2008-09-16)
The Plaster That Could Change Lives
A new invention that could dramatically change the lives of millions of people administering medication at home, has received investment worth £120,000 from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) - the organisation that nurtures UK creativity and innovation. A plaster that can be worn on the skin, containing a... view more... (2004-04-05)
Passenger Screening Advised To Cut Risk Of Importing Drug-Resistant Malaria To Africa
Imported resistance has rendered ineffective the two affordable malaria drugs which have been the mainstay of malaria treatment in Africa for forty years, according to experts writing today in the journal Science. Scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and colleagues from institutions in the USA, South Africa and... view more... (2004-08-16)
