Successful Management of a Gastric Sleeve Leak with an Endoscopic Stent
Thu, 17 May 2012 16:03:02 +0100 | International Journal of Biomedical Imaging
We present the case of a 23-year-old female with gastric sleeve leak managed successfully with a fully covered wall flex stent. Our aim is to examine the incidence, causes, classification, and presentation of gastric sleeve leaks and to evaluate the use of endoscopic stents in its management.

Need for Early Interventions in the Prevention of Pediatric Overweight: A Review and Upcoming Directions
Thu, 17 May 2012 12:47:47 +0100 | Experimental Diabetes Research
Childhood obesity is currently one of the most prevailing and challenging public health issues among industrialized countries and of international priority. The global prevalence of obesity poses such a serious concern that the World Health Organization (WHO) has described it as a “global epidemic.” Recent literature suggests that the genesis of the problem occurs in the first years of life as feeding patterns, dietary habits, and parental feeding practices are established. Obesity prevention evidence points to specific dietary factors, such as the promotion of breastfeeding and appropriate introduction of nutritious complementary foods, but also calls for attention to parental feeding practices, awareness of appropriate responses to infant hunger and satiety cues, physical activity/in...

Community-based participatory research to improve preconception health among Northern Plains American Indian adolescent women.
Thu, 17 May 2012 10:27:11 +0100 | American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research
We examined the effectiveness of implementing this intervention during a residential summer program for AI high school students. Materials and Methods: The educational intervention consisted of 15 preconception health education sessions and was piloted during a summer high school residential academic program. The intervention (N = 39) and non-intervention (N = 38) groups were comprised of incoming AI female freshmen representing comparable demographics. A pre- and post-intervention survey was administered to both groups. Results: Results indicated a significant difference in Time 2 (T2; post-intervention) scores, with the intervention group scoring higher than the non-intervention group in overall preconception health knowledge and obesity knowledge. In terms of intra-group score analysis ...

‘Fat tax’ needs to be at least 20% to improve health

Taxing unhealthy food and drinks could improve the public’s health, but the tax rate would need to be at least 20% to have a significant effect on obesity and cardiovascular disease, say researchers. (Source: MedWire News - Lipidology)

Insulinemia and the risk of breast cancer and its relapse
Thu, 17 May 2012 04:00:00 +0100 | Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism
A fairly large body of evidence has shown that insulin is a tumour‐promoting agent, especially for breast cancer. High circulating and microenvironmental levels of insulin may directly increase the risk of breast cancer via the activation of cognate receptors expressed on normal and cancer cells and indirectly be associated with other known metabolic risk factors of cancer that usually are present in conjunction with the hyperinsulinic state.The focus of this review is to analyse and discuss available data in the literature on the possible causative/prognostic role of insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia in breast cancer development and progression.

Juvenile, but not adult exposure to high‐fat diet impairs relational memory and hippocampal neurogenesis in mice
Thu, 17 May 2012 04:00:00 +0100 | Hippocampus
AbstractIncreased consumption of high‐fat diet (HFD) leads to obesity and adverse neurocognitive outcomes. Childhood and adolescence are important periods of brain maturation shaping cognitive function. These periods could consequently be particularly sensitive to the detrimental effects of HFD intake. In mice, juvenile and adulthood consumption of HFD induce similar morphometric and metabolic changes. However, only juvenile exposure to HFD abolishes relational memory flexibility, assessed after initial radial‐maze concurrent spatial discrimination learning, and decreases neurogenesis. Our results identify a critical period of development covering adolescence with higher sensitivity to HFD‐induced hippocampal dysfunction at both behavioral and cellular levels. © 2012 Wiley Periodica...
