PITTSBURGH, Penn. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Since drug cocktails were introduced in the mid-1990’s, the number of Americans who die from AIDS dropped from more than 51,000 in 1995 to a steady 17,000 to 18,000 since 2000. Two new drugs have just been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and doctors hope these new drugs will lower those numbers even further.

Adult Stem Cells Reprogrammed to Treat Muscular Dystrophy in Mice

Friday, December 14th, 2007

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Doctors may someday be able to use a patient’s own cells to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

DMD is a hereditary disease caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the muscle protein, dystrophin. Dystrophin is key in keeping muscle cells intact. Duchenne patients have chronic degeneration of their muscle cells that leads to progressive muscle weakness. There is no cure for the disease.

Researchers from Italy took adult stem cells from Duchenne patients, implanted them into a mouse model of the disease then genetically corrected the defective dystrophin gene.

Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs Increase Risk of Bleeding in the Brain

Friday, December 14th, 2007

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Taking a cholesterol-lowering drug such as atorvastatin after a stroke may increase your risk of hemorrhagic stroke – bleeding in the brain. This is not a risk found in patients who take statins who have never had a stroke.

Researchers from Duke University Medical Center looked at 4,731 people who had had a stroke or transient ischemic attack – mini-stroke – within one to six months and had no history of heart disease. Half of the participants got atorvastatin; the other half got a placebo.

The study found overall treatment reduced total stroke by 16 percent and significantly cut down on coronary heart events. But a secondary analysis found the overall reduction in stroke included an increase in the risk of brain hemorrhage. Of the participants taking atorvastatin, results show 2.3 percent had a hemorrhagic stroke compared to 1.4 percent of those taking placebo. Those taking atorvastatin also had a 21-percent reduction is ischemic stoke – a more common type of stroke where there is a blockage in the blood supply to the brain.

Female Lower Back Evolved to Accommodate Pregnancy Weight

Friday, December 14th, 2007

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Changes in a woman’s spine may explain how her body can compensate for the strain and weight of being pregnant.

A new study from Harvard University and the University of Texas at Austin finds women’s lower spines evolved to be more flexible and supportive than men’s to increase comfort and mobility during pregnancy and to be able to carry a baby for nine months while standing on two feet.

Researchers studied 19 pregnant women between the ages of 20 and 40. They found when the women are naturally standing they lean back which increases their lordosis – the inward curvature of the spine – by as much as 60 percent by the end of their term. By doing this pregnant women keep a stable center of gravity above their hips.

Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Increases Risk of Future Alcohol Abuse

Friday, December 14th, 2007

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – There may be a new explanation for why teens with a family history of drinking may drink more themselves.

Two new studies from the State University of New York Developmental Ethanol Research Center find the fetus of a mother who drinks while she’s pregnant learns to prefer alcohol’s taste and smell and is more likely to abuse alcohol later in life.

In one study rats exposed to alcohol (ethanol) in the womb drank much more of it in youth but not in adulthood. Researchers say when the developing nervous system senses ethanol in amniotic fluid, it adapts to it without knowing which chemicals will help or hurt the organism and ends up “liking” the taste and smell of ethanol. But if the nervous system doesn’t have any more experience with ethanol by adulthood, it loses its appeal for it.

Managing Diabetes during the Holidays

Friday, December 14th, 2007

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – All the holiday festivities – and the temptations of unMen’s healthy food that come with them – may make it hard for diabetics to manage their disease.

“The key to successfully navigating the holiday season is to remember that even though you can take a holiday, your diabetes never does, says Philip Barnett, M.D., Ph.D., Diabetes Outpatient Treatment Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Barnett says diabetics should avoid having too many sugary desserts and rich foods during the holidays. And he has the following tips to help them enjoy the season in a (more…)

Parents of Obese Kids Don’t Realize their Child has a Weight Problem

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Most parents agree childhood obesity is a major problem, but many may underestimate their own child’s weight.

A new poll from the University of Michigan C.S, Mott Children’s Hospital finds more than 40-percent of parents with obese children ages six to 11 describe their child as “about the right weight;” only 13 percent rate their child as being overweight; and less than 10 percent say they are “very concerned” about their child’s weight.

But parents of older children may be more aware of the problem. Results show 31-percent of those with obese children ages 12 to 17 rate their child as being overweight and 46-percent are very concerned about their child’s weight.
