Most of us strive to stay healthy in order to enjoy a long and active life. It has been shown that supplementing with alpha lipoic acid (ALA) may be an effective way to do so. In fact, recent studies indicate that adding ALA to your daily diet may help rejuvenate both body and mind, and may also provide powerful antioxidant protection that helps keep cells safe from the effects of free radical damage.

(NaturalNews) People should not be misled into believing that the typical chocolate bar is good for heart health, according to an editorial published in the influential medical journal Lancet, because most processed chocolate bars contain very low amounts of the nutrient that makes chocolate good for you.A series of recent studies have suggested that the flavanols contained in dark chocolate are good for the heart. A paper published in the journal Circulation reported that heart transplant patients who were given a dose of dark chocolate showed significant improvement in measures of blood flow, clotting and vascular function within only two hours. Participants who were given a placebo dose of fake chocolate showed no improvement in any of these measurements.But the flavanols that make chocolate healthy also make it bitter, and as such are removed by many commercial chocolate manufacturers. And as the Lancet editorial noted, there is no requirement for manufacturers to state on the label whether flavanols have been removed or not.Flavanols are naturally occurring plant chemicals in the flavonoid family. They are powerful antioxidants that have been shown to have a number of health benefits, including for the heart. Flavonoids are also found in tea, red wine and a number of fruits and vegetables.For those seeking to exploit chocolate’s heart health effects, an article published in the Mayo Clinic health Letter recommends dark chocolate, which contains an average of 53.5 milligrams of flavonoids per bar. In contrast, the average bar of milk chocolate contains less than 14 milligrams, and white chocolate contains none.But the sugar and fat in chocolate bars come with their own health risks.”If you ask me what’s more important, a little physical activity like walking or eating the chocolate, go take your walk,” said Jacob Shani, chair of the Cardiac Institute at Maimonides medical Center in Brooklyn.
Recent Study Finds Plant Foods Preserve Muscle Mass in Aging Adults (NaturalNews) Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals and fiber that are key to good health. Now, a newly released study by Agricultural Research Service (ARS)-funded scientists suggests plant foods also may help preserve muscle mass in older men and women.The study was led by physician and nutrition specialist Bess Dawson-Hughes at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, Mass.The typical American diet is rich in protein, cereal grains and other acid-producing foods. In general, such diets generate tiny amounts of acid each day. With aging, a mild but slowly increasing metabolic “acidosis” develops, according to the researchers.The study was led by physician and nutrition specialist Bess Dawson-Hughes at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, Mass.The typical American diet is rich in protein, cereal grains and other acid-producing foods. In general, such diets generate tiny amounts of acid each day. With aging, a mild but slowly increasing metabolic “acidosis” develops, according to the researchers.Acidosis appears to trigger a muscle-wasting response. So the researchers looked at links between measures of lean body mass and diets relatively high in potassium-rich, alkaline-residue producing fruits and vegetables. Such diets could help neutralize acidosis. Foods can be considered alkaline or acidic based on the residues they produce in the body, rather than whether they are alkaline or acidic themselves. For example, acidic grapefruits are metabolized to alkaline residues.The researchers conducted a cross-sectional analysis on a subset of nearly 400 male and female volunteers aged 65 or older who had completed a three-year osteoporosis intervention trial. The volunteers’ physical activity, height and weight, and percentage of lean body mass were measured at the start of the study and at three years. Their urinary potassium was measured at the start of the study, and their dietary data was collected at 18 months.Based on regression models, volunteers whose diets were rich in potassium could expect to have 3.6 more pounds of lean tissue mass than volunteers with half the higher potassium intake. That almost offsets the 4.4 pounds of lean tissue that is typically lost in a decade in healthy men and women aged 65 and above, according to authors.Sarcopenia, or loss of muscle mass, can lead to falls due to weakened leg muscles. The authors encourage future studies that look into the effects of increasing overall intake of foods that metabolize to alkaline residues on muscle mass and functionality.The study was published in the March issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.Source:U.S. Department of Agriculture (2008, May 31) (http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usdahome)About the authorLeslee Dru Browning is a 6th generation medical Herbalist and Nutritionist from the ancestral line of Patty Bartlett Sessions; Pioneer Mid-Wife and Herbalist.

Review: SunWarrior Protein Wins Editor’s Choice Award for Raw, Vegan, Brown Rice Protein Concentrate (NaturalNews) If you’re into a plant-based diet and all the health and performance benefits that come from eating plants, it’s difficult to find a high-quality source of supplemental protein. Until now, traditional sources have been soy protein, yellow pea protein, hemp seed protein, brown rice protein and mesquite flour. But each of these has problems. Isolated soy protein, for example, is a cheap, low-end protein “filler” protein that’s often extracted with chemical solvents (and can even be made from genetically-modified soybeans!). This is why it’s the No. 1 protein used in all those cheap, low-end protein bars found at the grocery store.Hemp protein, on the other hand, is nutritionally very rich, but it often has an annoyingly high “grit” factor, and the taste is not very pleasing to many consumers (I still eat lots of hemp protein, though, due to its outstanding nutritional profile). Brown rice protein also seems to have a high grit factor, and it never seemed to offer sufficient assimilation to provide all the protein I needed in my diet. That’s why, until now, I had never found a source of brown rice protein that I really liked.All that changed when I received a phone call from Brent Hauver at SunWarrior (www.SunWarrior.com). He had gotten my phone number from David Wolfe at Sunfood Nutrition (www.SunFood.com), who was convinced that I needed to know about this new “silky smooth” brown rice protein that was about to be launched. He said it was both raw and vegan, and that it trounced every other plant-based protein product on the market today in terms of assimilation and performance. Strong claims, yes. But could they be true?In this article, you’ll hear my full review of this breakthrough SunWarrior brown rice protein concentrate. I’ll reveal why I’ve come to the conclusion almost everyone can benefit from this supplemental protein (including women, children and senior citizens), and how it helped me break through a strength plateau in my own training at the gym. Better yet, you’ll also learn about an exclusive, time-limited discount offered only to NaturalNews readers. Feel free to just skip right to the discount code, below, if you’re ready to try SunWarrior protein for yourself. (Note: I earn nothing from the sales of this product. This is a 100% independent, non-commercial product review.)You can watch my video review of SunWarrior Protein here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtk3pNfQddUYou can also listen to my audio interview with Brent Hauver here: http://www.naturalnews.com/Index-Podcasts.html#36My introduction to SunWarrior ProteinWhen Brent enthusiastically described SunWarrior protein to me, I was naturally skeptical. I’ve got a lot of products showing up at my door every day, and some are described with some fairly outrageous claims, but knowing the integrity of David Wolfe and Sunfood, I decided to go visit Brent Hauver in person and find out for myself if this protein product lived up to its claims.I got that chance at the Expo West gathering in Anaheim, California, where over 3,000 natural living product vendors get together to show off their latest products to buyers like Whole Foods, Vitacost, and individual health food chains from around the world.On the first morning, just after the exposition doors opened, I darted over to the SunWarrior booth and introduced myself to Brent Hauver, the founder of SunWarrior. Brent is really tall, with a wide smile and a level of enthusiasm for natural living that’s ridiculously contagious. Within minutes we were talking about global transformation through the pursuit of a plant-based diet, and why animal-based protein products are being increasingly replaced with plant-based protein supplements by discerning consumers.Brent tells me his new SunWarrior protein product is raw, GMO-free, vegan, fermented brown rice protein, and that what’s in the canister is 85% pure protein! He also says it’s silky smooth, without any of the grit usually associated with brown rice protein products. This is accomplished, Brent explains, through a high-tech microfiltration process conducted at very low temperatures (room temperature, essentially), which keeps the product raw. No chemical solvents whatsoever are used in the processing of this brown rice protein concentrate.I interrupted Brent to remind him that I still hadn’t tasted the product to see for myself what it was like. He chuckled, reached under the booth table, pulled out a 2.2 lb. container of SunWarrior “Natural” Protein, and with a magician’s flourish, whipped back a curtain, revealing a Vita-Mix blender. (Score! A Vita-Mix on the road is worth its weight in gold, I’ve discovered…)I scooped up three or four heaping spoons of SunWarrior protein, chucked it into the Vita-Mix, then poured in a container of unsweetened hemp milk I’d scored the night before. After a 15-second blend, I poured the resulting brown rice protein milk into a cup and chugged it.Wow… Brent was right. No grit! This stuff was not only exquisitely delicious, it was also silky smooth. As smooth as the best whey protein powders, yet it was made from brown rice! This made it easy to swallow, and the taste was phenomenal: Just a hint of natural sweetness, with absolutely none of the sharp taste overtones you might find in hemp protein or soy protein. I instantly knew I could blend this into any smoothie — fruit, chocolate, tropical, whatever! — and the taste would fit right in.On top of that, this product had no chemical sweeteners, no refined sugars, no dairy, no soy, no genetically-modified ingredients… this looked like the plant-based protein product I was searching for!Why a professional bodybuilder switched to SunWarrior ProteinI won’t go into all the rest of the technical details of what Brent described to me: How the product is fermented, for example, to make the amino acids far more bioavailable, and why this greatly enhances absorption, making it superior to any other plant-based protein source he’d ever seen. I agreed this was a big benefit, because as a person who works out at the gym quite a bit, I’m usually disappointed with plant-based protein products. They usually don’t provide the absorption I’m looking for, and they leave me feeling hungry and under-nourished.That’s when superstar bodybuilder Wade McNutt stopped by the booth. He’s a champion bodybuilder with a freakishly ripped physique. I slapped a microphone on Wade and pressed record on my portable audio recorder as he talked about why whey protein caused him bloating and gas, but after finding SunWarrior protein, his waist slimmed down, all the bloating went away, and he was getting some crazy-good results at the gym… all from SunWarrior brown rice protein! (You can check out Wade McNutt’s “natural bodybuilding” site, if you’re curious, at: www.WadeBodySystems.com )Listen to my full interview with Wade McNutt and Brent Hauver here: http://www.naturalnews.com/Index-Podcasts.html#36With all this enthusiasm about the SunWarrior product, I told Brent I would give it the health Ranger test: I would take it home, work out with it for 2-3 months as my primary protein source and find out what it did for me personally. So I bought several large canisters from Brent, stacked them into the back of my van, and drove back to Tucson after the show, ready to start the test.You can get your own SunWarrior protein right now, by the way, with an exclusive discount for NaturalNews readers, at: http://store.sunwarrior.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=iUse coupon code natnews to get the 10% discount (good only through July 10th). After July 10th, it’s the regular price, which is still a really fantastic price, by the way, as I’ve seen competing products sell for $60 - $70 for similar quantities. (Don’t compare SunWarrior Protein to cheap soy-based protein products. There’s simply no comparison…)You can also order by phone at: 800-205-2350 (U.S. only)Who Needs Supplemental ProteinYou don’t have to be working out in the gym, of course, to benefit from supplemental protein. A lot of natural health consumers are eating and drinking so many plants that they don’t get the level of protein they would need for optimum performance. This is even true of women; especially those who are pregnant.High-quality protein, I’ve discovered, is absolutely crucial for maintaining a healthy heart and healthy digestive system. Often, people suffering from Crohn’s disease or irritable bowel syndrome see their symptoms completely disappear when they shift to a high-assimilation plant-based protein product. I’ve even heard of asthma and arthritis vanishing! (Because animal products cause inflammation, of course…)Getting off of animal products and onto a plant-based diet, in fact, is likely the single most beneficial decision you can make in your own diet. And usually, when people do that, they’re concerned about getting enough protein because they aren’t eating meat anymore. Well guess what? SunWarrior Protein solves that. (Plus, you can eat quinoa, kale juice, spinach juice, nuts, seeds and lots of other plant-based protein sources.) Also, as Dr. Gabriel Cousens points out, cooking food destroys about half its protein, so eating RAW plants will also boost your protein intake substantially!Children especially need high-quality plant-based proteins, and this SunWarrior product is the perfect way to deliver that in a tasty, sweet superfood smoothie that has absolutely no grit and no chemical additives. If you’ve got children and you want to feed them right, I encourage you to experiment with adding SunWarrior protein to their smoothies. Just blend it up with lots of fruits and superfoods, then sweeten with stevia, agave nectar or even raw honey! It’s delicious!! (I also recommend Sunfood’s raw cacao powder in those smoothies to turn them into raw chocolate powerhouse smoothies! You can find that at www.Sunfood.com )For anyone who exercises — even just walking a few times a week — I can’t say enough about this: SunWarrior Protein could very well be the product that helps you break through that performance plateau and get to the next level of strength, endurance, fitness or just pure cosmetic beauty in your own life.People who look fit, lean and athletic are sexy! But it’s only truly sexy from the inside out if they’re doing it naturally, without chemicals, additives or junk protein products. That’s why SunWarrior makes so much sense: It helps build an athletic physique while staying 100% natural, raw and plant-based!By the way, I do want to interject here and say that becoming athletic also requires lots of exercise. You cannot eat your way to an athletic body. Food is crucial, but exercise is still required, no matter what. Lots of it. Fortunately, SunWarrior is exactly the kind of product that gives you the strength, endurance and adaptability that helps you pursue and enjoy far more exercise than what you might have done in the past; and that’s what will give you the results you’re looking for! (Weight loss, slim waist, radiant skin, better posture, ripped abs, whatever…)How to get SunWarrior Protein: Go to: http://store.sunwarrior.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=iUse coupon code natnews to get the 10% discount (good only through July 10th) on as many bottles as you want. The discount is also good on SunWarrior’s Activated Barley product, which is also outstanding!You can also order by phone at 800-205-2350 (then choose option #1). (U.S. only)How SunWarrior performs in the gymEverybody who has seen my fitness pictures knows I’m not a super bulky muscle guy (www.healthRanger.org/stats.html). At over six feet tall, I just don’t have the proportions to look like a Wade McNutt, but I do pack a lot of strength and endurance into my much smaller muscles. In fact, I’ve steadily built strength over the last eight years to the point where I’m much stronger at age 38 than I was at age 30, and I’m doing things now with Capoeira, Pilates and martial arts that I could never do in my 20’s (because I was eating a junk food diet then, of course).But the big question was now: Would SunWarrior protein support significant strength and endurance gains in my own training routine?To conduct this test, I stopped eating fish. As NaturalNews readers know, I used to eat fish from time to time as a last resort animal-based protein source. I always felt I needed the fish protein to avoid feeling hungry all the time, and even though I disliked sacrificing any living creature to feed myself, I reasoned that fish were the simplest life forms providing such protein, and thus any bad karma would be minimized. (Funny how we rationalize things like that, huh?)Well, I’m happy to announce that SunWarrior protein worked to keep me off all animal products, period! After a few days, it became obvious to me that SunWarrior protein was providing the same high-density protein assimilation as fish meat, and I no longer needed to eat fish at all.From that day, I have been on a 100% vegan diet! It’s exciting, because as an “O” blood type, and someone who used to be prediabetic, I had always felt the need to consume a lot of protein, but suddenly, something truly magical was happening with SunWarrior Protein that completely shifted my biology and got me off fish protein for life!But how about the training in the gym? Would SunWarrior make me weak and thin, or strong and functional?Getting fit, lean and trim with SunWarrior ProteinIt’s not difficult to notice that a lot of raw foodists don’t have much muscle mass. Although I completely respect the Ghandi approach to minimizing calories (and extending life), I personally do not choose to live my life in a state of hunger. I like to eat a lot of food, and I enjoy the physical freedom and athletic expression that comes from being able to do handstands, poi spinning, weight lifting and other similar functions that require significant muscle strength.So I enjoy being strong, lean and muscular, regardless of whether it’s a bit of a diversion from the usual raw foodie physique. Because I’m so serious about strength gains, I track the results of all my workouts. I know exactly how much weight I can push for how many reps, for each muscle group. Since I’ve kept logs for the past three years, this gave me an ideal way to test the effectiveness of SunWarrior Protein.After blending SunWarrior Protein into my smoothies twice each day (for a week or so), I hit the gym and began the workouts. The first workout was really just a way to wake up the muscles and get them to adapt with more strength over time, so I wasn’t really concerned about the strength performance on the first workout. Rather, I was more interested in how my muscles would adapt to the workout when I was on the SunWarrior Protein product!It didn’t take long for that answer to become clear. After two weeks, nearly every one of my strength exercises was UP by anywhere from 5% - 10%. One leg exercise went up by 20%! (Leg press.)If these gains seems small, consider that I’m not some newbie to the gym. I’ve been working out for years, and sometimes I’ll go six months with no gains whatsoever for a particular muscle group. To see a 10% strength gain in two weeks is phenomenal for a person who’s already training on a regular basis.After a few more weeks of tracking the results of over 25 exercises, the results were clear: I was gaining significant strength on this raw, vegan protein, even without the fish protein in my diet. SunWarrior was working!And yet, it didn’t make me bloated or gassy. It didn’t make my muscles look bulky, either; it just help me keep them looking lean and functional — even while I was getting stronger!Team WarriorThis made me an instant convert to the SunWarrior brown rice protein. I was astonished at the performance gains on this product, and knowing that it was 100% GMO-free, chemical free, sweetener free and made entirely from raw plants drove this point home even further: SunWarrior is the best plant-based protein concentrate product available today, anywhere in the world!David Wolfe feels the same way about it. He provided this quote for this article:”For years I have been looking for a pure, natural, superfood, protein source that tastes great, is easy to assimilate, burns fat and tones muscle. That’s when I discovered Sun Warrior. At 85% protein, this is the best meal replacement strategy ever. When used with nutrient dense superfoods like my Maca Extreme, Goji Berries, Cacao Powder and Yacon Syrup you can pack more nutrition into a single smoothie than many people get in a month. From moms on the go to extreme athletes, Sun Warrior provides a quick and delicious way to get the energy and nutrition your body needs to make every day the best day ever!” - David Wolfe, founder www.sunfood.com, author of The Sunfood diet Success System, Eating For Beauty, Amazing Grace, Naked ChocolateSo now, David Wolfe, Wade McNutt and myself have all joined “Team SunWarrior,” which is a group of natural living warriors who are using this product to fuel our muscles as we pursue our work in the world.

Is that exciting, or what?!I love the fact that elite athletes are now starting to ditch the animal products and discover the seemingly superhuman performance attributes of eating superfoods, raw foods, and plant-based protein concentrates. This could really change the tide for mainstream America and show all those kids who look up to MMA athletes that eating McDonald’s hamburgers and drinking Pepsi is NOT going to make you fit and healthy!Brent Hauver at SunWarrior is leading the charge to introduce this plant-based protein to the very top athletes in the MMA industry. I personally believe, without a doubt, that the top athletes who switch to superfoods, raw foods and plant-based diets will greatly out-perform those who don’t.I think that a plant-based diet may turn out to be the single most important factor in determining an athlete’s strength, endurance, adaptability and resiliency. In fact, be sure to read my $10,000 athletic challenge, where I’ve personally challenged Big Pharma to produce a single person on their prescription drugs who can beat me in a physical contest. You can read that $10,000 challenge here: http://www.naturalnews.com/023476.htmlWhat can SunWarrior protein do for you?Regardless of what SunWarrior protein does for anybody else, the real question is: What can it do for you?Based on my considerable research and experience in this area, here are the main benefits of SunWarrior brown rice protein:• Builds functional strength without unnecessary bulk caused by the hormones found in meat products.• Helps create a lean, athletic body with a thin waist (no gas, no bloating, no putrified meat products sitting in your gut…)• Accelerates strength gains due to the outstanding assimilation of amino acids (probably due to the fermentation process).• Tastes truly fantastic: Can be used in ANY smoothie!• Does not contain ANY garbage additives: No chemical sweeteners, no chemical solvents, no refined sugars, no dairy, no soy, no animal byproducts, nothing artificial!• Seems to be remarkably alkaline for a protein product. Animal-based proteins are highly acidic and have a huge insulin load over time, but this SunWarrior Protein has never made me acidic, even when consumed in large quantities!• Allows you to follow more of a high-protein diet without turning to animal products.

AimTo prospectively determine the role of platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GP IIIa) gene PlA1/PlA2 polymorphism on the long-term clinical outcome in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary stenting.Design and settingProspective observational study in the University Hospital of Caen (France).Patients and methods1 111 symptomatic consecutive Caucasian patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention including stent implantation underwent genotyping for GP IIIa PlA1/A2.Main outcome measuresLong-term clinical outcome in terms of the rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE, ie death from any cause, non-fatal Q wave or non Q wave myocardial infarction, and need for coronary revascularisation) was obtained and subsequently stratified according to the GP IIIa PlA1/A2 polymorphism. Results: Three groups of patients were determined according to the GP IIIa PlA1/A2 polymorphism (71.6% had the A1/A1, 25.8% had the A1/A2 and 2.6% had the A2/A2 genotype). These three groups were comparable for all clinical characteristics including sex ratio, mean age, vascular risk factors, previous coronary events, baseline angiographic exam, indication for the percutaneous coronary intervention and drug therapy). The incidence of MACE was similar in these 3 groups of patients during a mean follow-up period of 654+/-152 days. Independent risk factors for MACE were a left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%, absence of treatment with a beta-blocker and absence of treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor during follow-up. Conclusion: The GP IIIa PlA1/A2 polymorphism does not influence the clinical long-term outcome in patients with symptomatic coronary disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation.

Venous thromboembolism prevention post neck of femur fractures - does it make a difference? Neck of femur fractures predispose patients to venous thromboembolism (VTE). NICE has issued guideline 46 to reduce this risk through the use of antithrombic agents. We audited our department’s VTE practise by reviewing the clinical notes of 123 consecutive patients with no exclusions. We found our compliance to be a low 6%. We also found that patients were likely to be given low molecular heparin (LMWH) only during their hospital stay. Reasons for the low adherence were probably secondary to confusion caused by the multiple thromboprophylaxis protocols used in our department. The correlation between duration of heparin administration and length of hospital stay was due to logistical difficulty in administering VTE prophylaxis out of hospital setting.
Examining warfarin underutilization rates in patients with atrial fibrillation: Detailed chart review essential to capture contraindications to warfarin therapy IntroductionAtrial fibrillation affects an estimated 2.5 million Americans and incurs an average annual stroke risk of 4.5% per year. Despite warfarin reducing stroke risk by approximately 66%, prior studies show warfarin usage rates to be about 50%. However, the methods that define warfarin as “inappropriate underutilization” might not be sensitive enough to pick up relative contraindications. We assessed the inappropriate underutilization of warfarin in atrial fibrillation patients at our hospital by abstracting individual patient charts. Methods: medical records were reviewed to determine stroke risk factors, warfarin use, and documented contraindications to warfarin use in 364 consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation. Results: Amongst 364 atrial fibrillation patients, 54.6% received warfarin anticoagulation. Overall, 29.5 % of patients had documented reasons for not prescribing warfarin. Primary reasons listed by treating physicians included: gastrointestinal bleed 10.7%, secondary/transient atrial fibrillation 8.2%, and fall risk 6.3%. Only 7.1% of the patients had no documented reasons for the lack of warfarin use. Conclusion: Consistent with previous reports, 45.4% of patients in this atrial fibrillation cohort were not prescribed warfarin. However, after reviewing medical charts for documented reasons why warfarin was not used, the inappropriate underutilization rate was only 7.1%. These findings suggest that studies utilizing administrative database and ICD-9 CM coding might overestimate warfarin underutilization.

Effects of rosiglitazone on contralateral iliac artery after vascular injury in hypercholesterolemic rabbits Background: The objective was to evaluate the effects of rosiglitazone on iliac arteries of hypercholesterolemic rabbits undergoing balloon catheter injury in the contralateral iliac arteries. Methods: White male rabbits were fed a hypercholesterolemic diet for 6 weeks and divided into two groups as follows: rosiglitazone group, 14 rabbits treated with rosiglitazone (3 mg/Kg body weight/day) during 6 weeks; and control group, 18 rabbits without rosiglitazone treatment. All animals underwent balloon catheter injury of the right iliac artery on the fourteenth day of the experiment. Results: There was no significant difference in intima/media layer area ratio between the control group and the rosiglitazone group. Rosiglitazone did not reduce the probability of lesions types I, II, or III (72.73% vs. 92.31%; p = 0.30) and types IV or V (27.27% vs. 7.69%; p = 0.30). There were no differences in the extent of collagen type I and III deposition or in the percentage of animals with macrophages in the intima layer. The percentage of rabbits with smooth muscle cells in the intima layer was higher in rosiglitazone group (p = 0.011). Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that rosiglitazone given for 6 weeks did not prevent atherogenesis at a vessel distant from the injury site.

Warfarin dose and INR related to genotypes of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 in patients with myocardial infarction Background: Warfarin treatment has a narrow therapeutic range, requiring meticulous monitoring and dosage titration. Individual dosage requirement has recently partly been explained by genetic variation of the warfarin metabolizing enzyme CYP2C9 and the Vitamin K-activating enzyme VKORC1. In the WARIS-II study, comparing three different antithrombotic regimens after myocardial infarction, warfarin treatment reduced thrombotic events, but was associated with more frequent bleeding than use of acetylsalisylic acid (ASA) alone.AimsThe primary aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between genotypes of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 and warfarin maintenance dose in myocardial infarction. The secondary aim was to relate the genotypes to international normalized ratio (INR). Methods: Genotyping was performed in 212 myocardial infarction patients from the WARIS-II study by robotic isolation of DNA from EDTA whole blood (MagNa Pure LC) before PCR amplification (LightCycler) and melting point analysis. Results: The 420 C>T substitution of CYP2C9*2, the 1075 A>C substitution of CYP2C9*3 and the 1173 C>T substitution of VKORC1 had minor allele frequencies of, 11.3%, 5.7% and 36.6% respectively. Warfarin weekly dose varied between 17 mg and 74 mg among the patients. INR did not vary between genotypes. Warfarin dosage requirement was significantly associated with CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes, treatment group and age. The VKORC1 genotype contributed 24.5% to the interindividual variation in warfarin dosage, whereas the combined CYP2C9 genotypes were only responsible for 7.2% of the dose variation. Conclusion: CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotype frequencies in myocardial infarction patients appear similar to other patient groups and have similar impact on warfarin maintenance dose.

When the news broke on June 24 that microblogging sensation Twitter picked up new venture investors, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, the company — as luck would have it — was suffering a service outage. “Twitter is stressing out a bit right now, so this feature is temporarily disabled,” read the message. Trouble is, that message and others like it have become all too common on Twitter. The site, a tool that lets some one million people exchange brief 140-character messages, seems to be as unreliable as it is popular. In fact, it’s the surging traffic, in part, that leads to failures. Noises About Forsaking Twitter The new investments, from Bezos and Boston’s Spark Capital, will give the company “some runway and breathing room” as it invests in a big technology upgrade, says Biz Stone, a Twitter co-founder. He would not disclose the dollar or equity amounts of the investments. The goal, he says, is to rebuild the architecture “piece by piece.” The process is already underway and “will take months,” Stone adds. Existing Twitter backers Union Square Ventures in New York and Tokyo-based Digital Garage also participated in the most recent round. Bijan Sabet, a partner at Spark who landed a Twitter board seat through the investment, says the “highest priority is providing rock-solid service.” He envisions Twitter becoming “a global communication utility system,” though he didn’t elaborate on what that will look like. Bezos didn’t respond to a phone call seeking comment. More crucial to Twitter’s future than deep-pocketed investors and dependable machines are its throngs of users around the world. And it’s not clear these devotees will stick around through months of hiccups. Some are tempted to bail for rivals and related offerings, such as Plurk and FriendFeed, which appear to suffer fewer outages. As blogger Rafe Needleman asked on FriendFeed on…

Mars Lander Finds Salty Environment in Taste Test The Phoenix lander’s first taste test of soil near Mars’ north pole reveals a briny environment similar to what can be found in backyards on Earth, scientists said Thursday. The finding raises hope that the Martian arctic plains could have conditions favorable for primitive life. Phoenix landed a month ago to study the habitability of Mars’ northern latitudes. “There’s nothing about it that would preclude life. In fact, it seems very friendly,” mission scientist Samuel Kounaves of Tufts University said of the soil. “There’s nothing about it that’s toxic.” Phoenix so far has not detected organic carbon considered an essential building block of life. Last week, the lander found evidence of ice below the soil. Scientists generally agree that liquid water, a stable energy source and organic, or carbon-containing, compounds are required for a habitable zone. The latest experiment was designed to test for minerals that do not have carbon in them. Earlier this week, Phoenix’s 8-foot-long robotic arm delivered a pinch of dirt dug up from near the surface to its onboard lab. Like a chemist, the spacecraft mixed the soil with water brought from Earth into a beaker the size of a teacup and stirred it. Sensors inside the beaker detect the soil’s pH and probe for traces of the nutrients. Preliminary results showed the soil had a pH between 8 and 9, researchers said. A pH less than 7 means the solution is acidic, while a pH over 7 means it is alkaline. Phoenix also detected the presence of magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride in the mixture. “It’s very typical of the soil here on Earth minus the organics,” Kounaves said during a teleconference from Tucson, Ariz. On Earth, asparagus, green beans and turnips could be planted in such an environment and chemical-loving bacteria would thrive there, he said. Planetary scientist David Paige of the University…
Novel Mutation of Aspartoacylase Gene in a Turkish Patient with Canavan Disease Canavan disease is a neurodegenerative disease with autosomal recessive inheritance. Although this disease is prevalant among Ashkenazi Jewish population, several cases have been reported from all over the world. Canavan disease is caused by a genetic mutation in aspartoacylase gene. We have identified a novel mutation, a homozygous C432+1G>A mutation, in a 10-month-old boy who has a typical Canavan phenotype (without macrocephaly) accompanied by typical brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and diffusion magnetic resonance findings. The patient’s mother was found to be heterozygous for this mutation. We believe that future studies of aspartoacylase gene in various ethnic groups could lead to a better understanding of Canavan’s pathophysiology and gene therapy.
Recurrent Abdominal Pain Syndrome in a Cohort of Sri Lankan Children and Adolescents Recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) is a common problem among children and adolescents. The epidemiology of RAP among Sri Lankan children is unknown. A self-administered parental questionnaire was distributed to 810 randomly selected school children, aged 5–15 years, and 734 (90.6%) were returned. RAP was diagnosed using Apley criteria. Children who fulfilled the criteria were interviewed. Seventy-seven had RAP (10.5%). Of them, 45 (58.4%) had periumbilical pain. The severity was mild to moderate in 45 (58.4%) and severe in 32 (41.6%). Common associated symptoms were headache (42.9%), anorexia (35.1%), lethargy (23.4%) and joint pain (23.4%). health care consultation among affected children was 70.1%. RAP was significantly higher in those who were exposed to stressful life events and who had a family history of RAP (p < 0.0001). RAP was not associated with school academic performance and participation in sports (p > 0.05). According to our results, the epidemiology and clinical profile of RAP in Sri Lankan children appears to be similar to that in other parts of the world, except for health care consultation, which is higher than previously reported.
In-Hospital Risk Estimation in Children with Malaria–Early Predictors of Morbidity and Mortality Background: Rapid diagnosis and adequate therapy are crucial to prevent development of severe disease and death in children suffering from malaria. A reliable but easy system for disease severity assessment would help to fast track seriously ill children and provide suitable therapies for different patient groups. Objectives: To examine risk factors and appropriate scoring systems in children suffering from malaria for outcome in terms of morbidity and mortality. Methods: A prospective, consecutive study in children admitted to the Muhimbili medical Centre in Dar es Salaam was conducted to evaluate risk factors and test appropriate scoring systems. The simplified Multi-Organ Dysfunction Score (sMODS), a severity of disease classification consisting mainly of clinical data, was applied. Chosen outcome parameters were morbidity and mortality. Results were compared to those obtained from the World health Organisation (WHO) classification of severe malaria, the Blantyre Coma Scale (BCS) and selected single clinical parameters. Results: Seventy-five children were recruited into the study. Mean age was 28 months ranging from 6 months to 8 years. ‘Severe Malaria’, according to WHO criteria was evident in 57 patients (76%). Mean sMODS on admission was 15.6 2. Seven patients (9%) died. Among single symptoms, impaired consciousness and respiratory distress predicted both, fatal outcome and morbidity. In terms of scoring systems, the sMODS correlated with both outcome parameters. In comparison, the WHO criteria did not correlate with any of the two parameters, the BCS correlated with mortality only. Conclusion: In our study, sMODS has been shown to represent a useful quantitative approach towards disease severity classification in resource poor settings and can be used for risk estimation in children suffering from malaria in terms of both morbidity and mortality.

Early Introduction of Solids and Pneumonia in Young Infants in Papua New Guinea: A Case Control Study A prospective case control study to determine the association of early introduction of solids with admission to hospital with pneumonia was undertaken at Mount Hagen General Hospital (MHGH) in the highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG) over a 3-month period in 2005. Twenty three infants up to 6 months of age admitted with radiologically confirmed pneumonia were compared with 24 infants of similar age attending the well baby clinic for immunization and with 35 infants admitted to the hospital with conditions other than pneumonia or meningitis. There was a highly significant difference in feeding patterns between the groups. Children with pneumonia were much more likely than the control children to have started solids before the age of 2 months [OR = 18.06 (4.8–72.86)]. They were also significantly more likely to have been admitted previously with a diagnosis of pneumonia (P < 0.001). The children in each group were of comparable age and weight and there were no obvious confounding factors. This study provides clear evidence for the association between early introduction of solids and pneumonia in PNG highlands children. The findings are consistent with other international data. While the reasons for the association remain speculative, the association strongly reinforces the need to educate the community on best infant feeding practices and to discourage the early introduction of solids.
