Bp In Childhood Foretells Adult Hypertension

Health ministers adopt ‘New Delhi Declaration’ to combat high blood pressure

Before leaving high school, 68% of the participants had a normal weight, 16% were overweight (85th to less than the 95th percentile of BMI adjusted for age and sex), and 16% were obese (95th percentile or higher). The rate of adult hypertension was 6% among those with a normal weight as children, 14% for those who were overweight, and 26% for those who were obese. The differences between the groups held up in a multivariate analysis. “The findings highlight the importance of preventing and treating overweight and obesity in childhood,” Watson wrote in an email. “The current focus is primarily on obese patients. Our findings that those who are overweight are twice as likely to develop hypertension suggest that we should be more aggressive in educating and treating these patients as well.” “It is important,” she added, “that we as pediatricians counsel our patients on the risk of hypertension associated with overweight and obesity, and stress that a healthy diet, including reducing salt intake , and exercise may help reduce this risk.” Both Tu’s and Watson’s studies “highlight that children with risk factors, including children with obesity or even single, isolated high blood pressure, are at an increased risk to develop hypertension at a relatively early age,” Samuels said.

Childhood obesity linked to high blood pressure in adulthood

However, a recent report from Medical News Today highlighted some positive statistics from the CDC, which showed that childhood obesity rates in the US decreased in 19 of 43 states and territories studied between 2008 and 2011. Sara E. Watson, pediatric endocrinology fellow at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University and lead study author, says: “It is important that pediatricians counsel patients on the risk of high blood pressure associated with overweight and obesity, and stress that a healthy diet, including reducing salt intake and exercise, may help reduce this risk. Interventions to prevent and treat obesity will play an important role in decreasing the significant burden of high blood pressure in adulthood.” Additionally, the study showed that children who have one or more high blood pressure readings are three times more likely to develop the condition as adults. After accounting for age, gender and weight, the researchers found that those who had at least one high blood pressure reading at childhood had almost a 10% higher risk of developing the condition in adulthood, compared with children who had consistently normal blood pressure readings. “This study highlights the need for pediatricians to regularly check blood pressure and weight,” says Wanzhu Tu, professor of biostatistics at Indiana University School of Medicine and study author.

But it often shows no symptoms for years and by the time symptoms appear, cardiovascular disease is advanced and the risk of heart attack or a stroke is increased,” said WHO director general, Dr Margaret Chan. “The public health challenge is to get more people routinely tested early to enable proper management of high blood pressure through life style change or medication,” she added. India’s minister for health and family welfare Ghulam Nabi Azad highlighted that India is soon to be certified as a polio free country. He acknowledged WHO’s undivided support to the government’s strong political will and leadership at the highest levels.

Digestive endoscopy center, most advanced in VN, opens

These advanced technologies will help Vietnamese doctors make effective diagnoses of stomach cancer, said Associate Professor Dr Tran Van Huy, president of the Central Vietnam Association for Digestive Endoscopy. With these equipment and supports from Japanese experts, the center is able to serve 150-200 patients per day, mainly from provinces in central and Central Highlands regions. The Hue Medicine and Pharmacy University has sent staff to Japan for training in using the medical equipment.

Annually, a Japanese doctor will work at the center to transfer new medical techniques and technologies to Vietnamese doctors.

Hormone Therapy Linked To Higher Breast Cancer Death Risk

Manning wants hormone therapy in prison. Will it happen?

null “It is early in the follow-up and the number of breast cancer deaths will certainly substantially increase as we move forward,” said Dr. Rowan Chlebowski, professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and lead author of the study. Women in the study who used estrogen and progestin for five-and-a-half years — which is considered long-term use of the therapy — were at higher risk of getting breast cancer, said Chlebowksi. Earlier results of this trial indicated a connection between synthetic hormone therapy — commonly marketed as as the drug Prempro — and less aggressive forms of breast cancer .

Because of this, she wanted to initiate the gender transition process prior to her incarceration, but found herself unable to do so in the face of the restrictions imposed on her by a conservative family and workplace, the lawsuit continues. Adams had been diagnosed with gender identity disorder; Manning has also received the same diagnosis. Adams filed a lawsuit in 2009 after her prison denied treatment. That suit was settled outside of court two years later, with one prong of the settlement being a change to prison policy, allowing hormone therapy treatment to start in prison. In May 2011, the Bureau of Prisons sent a memo to its wardens outlining a new policy that all inmates seeking hormone replacement therapy Receive a current individualized assessment and evaluation. Treatment options will not be precluded solely due to level of services received, or lack of services, prior to incarceration. Mannings prison sentence doesnt fall under this policy. Military prisons are part of the Defense Department, not the Bureau of Prisons.

Star Interior Designer Redefines Beauty After Hair Loss

And underneath it, you know, I was experiencing tremendous sense of shame, and of loss, and it was just a very, very challenging, you know, time for me personally.” Whether she lost her show because she lost her hair “It seemed kind of odd that when I did lose my hair and I did make a decision that I didn’t want to wear a wig anymore, I could never get back on television again. So again, the timing of it seemed a little odd. Obviously I can’t say for sure, but I think that there is an idea that’s put forth in the media about what we should look like as women. And certainly, rarely do you see women who have shaved their heads, women who are bald, in the media unless of course they have undergone chemo or they’re sick, or you know like I think when Britney Spears shaved her head, you know then we’re certifiably crazy or something in order to do something like that.” Sheila Bridges with her signature curly hair.

Hair loss

Also, topical minoxidil can cause itching, dryness, and scalp irritation, which you can combat by conditioning every time you shampoo your hair. Another option is to try a hair transplant – a technique that moves hair follicles from a thicker part of the scalp to a thinning patch. However, because of the widespread pattern of hair loss in women, hair transplants may not be as effective at permanently restoring hair as they are in men, Tsao says. The procedure also can be expensive, costing several thousand dollars, depending upon the amount of hair being transplanted. If you’re considering this option, Tsao advises, “Go to a hair transplant specialist who treats a lot of women. Talk with women who have undergone the treatment.” Several newer techniques for treating hair loss are in development, including the laser hair comb – a handheld device that emits a low-level laser light, which is supposed to stimulate new hair growth.

Snoring: A New Tip-off To Stroke And Heart Disease

Snoring: When is it cause for concern?

According to research by Robert Deeb, MD and Karen Yaremchuk, MD, snoring can reveal damage to the carotid arteries the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the brain. The study which has been submitted to the journal The Laryngoscope, will be presentedin Scottsdale, Arizona on Friday at the 2013 Combined Sections Meeting of the Triological Society . The researchers looked at the carotid arteries in snorers and found increased thickening of the artery walls, indicating damage already setting in. The researchers suggested that the damage could be due to the trauma and inflammation caused by the vibrations of snoring.

The surgery is considered minor, but this does require having an electrode and small battery with a thin wire implanted under the skin. A remote turns the device on and off. “This is exciting in terms of research because it’s the first time we can control the position of the tongue without removing or changing the anatomy of the patient,” said Dr. Friedman. Still, it seems like a fairly drastic step to take.

New experimental device may silence snoring, ensure good night’s sleep

And snoring. Its been an ongoing issue the last two to three years, Barker said, starting after the birth of her daughter. She did a sleep study recently for her dentist, wearing a device around her head that included thin sensors up her nostrils, monitoring and recording data. The data obviously recorded a lot of nice snoring and revealed I had moderate sleep apnea, Barker said. I thought it might be light or slight. I was kind of surprised. She quipped when your husband says you snore like a freight train, I guess I did. Trust me, hes got his own snoring issues, Barker said.

Vitamins and Vitamin Supplements: Use Increases in America

The team looked at calcium intake levels among all participants and compared them to the individuals’ overall health outcomes, paying close attention to both death rates and the ages at which certain participants died. During the entire 12-year trial period, a total of 1,160 participants, or about 13 percent, passed away. After looking at the data, it was determined that many of those who died consumed significantly less calcium than those still living. Similarly, insufficient calcium intake was also linked to some participants dying at an earlier age than those who took up to 1,000 mg of calcium daily, a finding with strong correlative significance. Interestingly, a lack of calcium was only found to be detrimental in women — there was no difference of any statistical significance between men who consumed either high or low levels of calcium . Previous studies, however, have found that both sexes need adequate levels of calcium, particularly in conjunction with magnesium, vitamin D and other important co-factors, to maintain healthy bones and avoid developing osteoporosis. “We found that daily use of calcium supplements in women was associated with a lower risk of death, irrespective of cause,” says Prof.

Dietary calcium, supplements tied to longer lifespan in women

“Our diet contains too many processed foods that do not have the nutrients we need to keep us healthy — soda and chips — so people respond by taking vitamins.” Deen said he usually advises his patients to increase their intake of fruits and vegetables to boost their vitamin count, rather than take a pill. “The pill is a nice idea, but we have no reason to think this one-size-fits-all dose makes any sense for each individual,” said Deen. Lead author Gahche said the report makes no recommendations on whether or not a person should or should not use dietary supplements. And if individuals are taking supplements, they should be sure to the tell their doctors what those are and why they’re taking them. “There probably is a perception among the population that taking a dietary supplement is an easy way to obtain necessary nutrients and improve health, but this isn’t necessarily true,” said Dr.

The truth about health supplements

This could be a part of it: According to the Center for Responsive Politics , since 1990, federal candidates and political parties have received more than $11 million in contributions from the manufacturers of nutritional and dietary supplements and those directly linked to the industry. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who drafted the 1994 legislation, has received more than $355,000, of which $85,200 was received during the 1994 election cycle . Eichner said at the time of the legislation, there were only a handful of vitamins and traditional medicines on the market. But since then, the industry has surged. Now supplements are a 60 billion dollar industry.
