C-Plus Rating for Massachusetts on Health
Wed, 19 Jun 2013 06:15:40 +0100 | RWJF News Digest - Childhood Obesity
Massachusetts is making strides toward reducing childhood obesity but still has a way to go in improving health education and public health funding, according to a health and wellness report card being released Tuesday by two nonprofit groups. The annual report card from the Boston Foundation and NEHI, a health policy think tank, gave Massachusetts an average grade of C-plus in 14 categories related to healthy living, up from C minus in 2011. The state improved in the health of school meals, public health funding, and food deserts — neighborhoods without retailers selling healthy options — but dropped from a B-plus to a B in biking and walking because of safety concerns.

Comparison of Polysomnographic and Clinical Presentations and Predictors for Cardiovascular-Related Diseases between Non-Obese and Obese Obstructive Sleep Apnea among Asians
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:15:04 +0100 | Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine : JCSM
Conclusion:Among Asians, most OSA patients were not obese. Compared to obese OSA patients, non-obese OSA patients were noted to have less prevalence of hypertension and less history of nocturia. They were also noted to have overall milder OSA. Only OAI was noted to be a significant predictor for cardiovascular-related disease in the non-obese OSA group.Citation:Chirakalwasan N; Teerapraipruk B; Simon R; Hirunwiwatkul P; Jaimchariyatam N; Desudchit T; Charakorn N; Wanlapakorn C.

Narcolepsy with Cataplexy Mimicry: The Strange Case of Two Sisters
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:15:04 +0100 | Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine : JCSM
We report on two sisters, 17 and 12 years of age, with clinical features suggesting narcolepsy with cataplexy (NC): daytime sleepiness, spontaneous and emotionally triggered sudden falls to the ground, and overweight/obesity. MSLT showed borderline sleep latency, with 1 and 0 sleep onset REM periods. HLA typing disclosed the DQB1*0602 allele. Video-polygraphy of the spells ruled out NC diagnosis by demonstrating their easy elicitation by suggestion, with wake EEG, electromyo-graphic persistence of muscle tone, and stable presence of tendon reflexes (i.e., pseudo-cataplexy), together with normal cerebrospinal hypocretin-1 levels.Our cases emphasize the need of a clear depiction of cataplexy pattern at the different ages, the usefulness of examining ictal neurophysiology, and collecting all ...

Brain Inflammation Due To Obesity Compounded By Low Testosterone
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:00:00 +0100 | Health News from Medical News Today
Low testosterone worsens the harmful effects of obesity in the nervous system, a new study in mice finds. The results were presented at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. "Low testosterone and obesity are common in aging men, and each is associated with type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease," said the study's lead investigator, Anusha Jayaraman, PhD, of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. "Our new findings demonstrate that obesity and low testosterone combine to not only increase the risk of diabetes but also damage the brain... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)
