A low calorie diet and high intensity exercise can reduce nerve damage in prediabetic mice, according to a Michigan Medicine study. Researchers say findings reinforce the potential of lifestyle factors to treat peripheral neuropathy, a prevalent and painful complication of obesity, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
In a new analysis of national data, researchers at the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Center for Outcomes Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) estimated that 137 million U.S. adults, more than half of all adults, are eligible for semagludtide for weight loss, diabetes management, or prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events.
Newly updated stroke prevention guidelines from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association say women with endometriosis and women with early-onset menopause are at greater risk.
A recent study highlights the health benefits of a cocoa-flavored, soy-based powder drink mix enriched with hydrolysates from edible bird鈥檚 nests. This innovative functional beverage shows promise in managing hypertension and inflammation, along with improving glycemic control and prolonging satiety. The study focuses on the drink鈥檚 angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition and red blood cell membrane stabilization effects, suggesting a fresh approach to dietary management of chronic health issues.
Jiang He, M.D., Ph.D., Professor and Chair Designate of Epidemiology in the Peter O鈥橠onnell Jr. School of Public Health at UT Southwestern Medical Center, is a 2024 recipient of the American Heart Association鈥檚 (AHA) highest commendation, the Distinguished Scientist award. The honor recognizes Dr. He鈥檚 prolific research on reducing the risks of cardiometabolic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney disease.
Obesity causes insulin resistance by increasing activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the release of the stress hormone norepinephrine, according to a Rutgers Health study.
University of Wisconsin鈥揗adison researchers are warning that artificial intelligence tools gaining popularity in the fields of genetics and medicine can lead to flawed conclusions about the connection between genes and physical characteristics, including risk factors for diseases like diabetes.The faulty predictions are linked to researchers鈥� use of AI to assist genome-wide association studies.
A new study led by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine involving more than 200,000 adults found that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a 29% increase in risk for developing dyslipidemia, a condition involving abnormal lipid (fat) levels in the blood. Seniors and people with type 2 diabetes were even more strongly affected, experiencing an approximately two-fold increased risk for developing dyslipidemia, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. The research was published today in the print edition of The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
During November鈥檚 Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month, the American Society of Retina Specialists encourages people with diabetes, their friends, and loved ones to learn more about diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema and prioritize their eye health to protect and preserve vision.
Ten years after undergoing bariatric surgery as teens, over half of study participants demonstrated not only sustained weight loss, but also resolution of obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, according to the report published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Most patients should continue taking their glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists before elective surgery, suggests new clinical guidance released by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), American Gastroenterological Association, American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, International Society of Perioperative Care of Patients with Obesity, and the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons. Patients at the highest risk for significant gastrointestinal (GI) side effects should follow a liquid diet for 24 hours before the procedure or other measures, depending on the specific circumstances.
Adults aged 35 to 60 are drinking at unprecedented rates, with those who binge drank in high school reporting more past 30-day high-risk drinking in midlife. And this link may be especially strong for women, according to a study just published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research Health. These trends are particularly concerning as health conditions, and biological processes common with aging put adults in midlife at greater health risk from alcohol use.
Glucagon-like peptide-1-receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are medications that are increasingly prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure. Reports of GLP-1RA鈥揳ssociated acute kidney injury (AKI) have emerged, but the risk of GLP-1RA鈥揳ssociated AKI among patients on anti-cancer drugs is unclear. Surprisingly, new research suggests that taking GLP-1RA is not associated with an increased risk of AKI in patients receiving anti-cancer therapies. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥� 27.
Prior efforts to identify novel kidney biomarkers as risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression have typically evaluated proteins individually, which limits their prognostic power. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases鈥� (NIDDK鈥檚) CKD Biomarkers Consortium of investigators recently developed and tested novel dimensions of kidney health by combining a set of 17 urine and plasma biomarkers that had been individually associated with CKD progression. The research will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥� 27.
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, but it is unclear whether their effects differ based on patients鈥� age. A recent analysis of clinical trial data reveals that the SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin benefited patients across all age categories. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23 鈥� 27.
The results of numerous high-impact phase 3 clinical trials that could affect kidney-related medical care will be presented in-person at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥�27.
