#New Test Predicts Teensfuture Risk of Heart disease Risk for cardiovascular disease, currently running rampant in the United states,
The test accounts for many risk factors for the deadly disease and has the potential to be adapted by physicians nationwide to assess teenagersfuture risk
Cardiovascular disease has predominantly modifiable risk factors, meaning that the disease is entirely preventable. These risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes, unhealthy diets and smoking.
The only risk factor unable to be changed is genetic predisposition. A team led by Dr. Mark Deboer of the U. Va. Department of Pediatrics
and Matthew Gurka of West virginia University School of Public health developed the new diagnostic test. The test relies on an evaluation of metabolic syndrome,
and abnormal cholesterol levels that together increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. It takes into account variables specific both to race

The procedure is less invasive causing only minor bruising in the groin no risk of nerve damage and a lower heart attack risk than endarterectomy.
The risk of any stroke in five years was 15.2%in the stenting group compared to 9. 4%in the endarterectomy group
We have shown also that the risk of stroke during the procedure is no higher for stenting than for endarterectomy in younger patients.
The risks of each procedure are different and will vary depending on the patient but stenting should be offered as an option to many more patients under the age of 70.

For the first time knowledge about the individual patient's genetic risk profile is being used. The treatment completely restores the capacity to secrete insulin
which is impaired by the risk gene. The concept of treatment personalized to the individual's risk profile has great potential.
Our results show that it is possible to block the effects of a common risk gene for type 2 diabetes says Anders Rosengren the diabetes researcher at Lund University in charge of the project.
A milestone was an article in the journal Science in 2009. At the time several research teams from Lund University were able to report that a common gene variant in the population makes insulin-producing cells sensitive to stress hormones.
With a known disease mechanism and a method to neutralise it the obvious next step was to test it on patients. 50 patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited. 21 of them did not have the risk variant
Not unexpectedly the secretion was 25 per cent worse in patients who had the risk gene.
Yohimbin neutralised the effects of the risk gene. The carriers of the risk gene gained the same capacity to secrete insulin as those without the risk variant observes Yunzhao Tang principal author of the recently published article.
Yohimbin must be modified to minimise side-effects in this case raised blood pressure and we need the help of a cooperation partner to achieve this.
The substance must also be tested on more patients before it can become a clinical drug says Anders Rosengren adding purely theoretically the drug should be effective for the 40 per cent of type 2 diabetes sufferers who are carriers of the genetic risk variant.
In addition there is little risk of turning off untargeted genes the way RNA interference techniques do.

#Women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy Women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving are increased at risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy,
New research published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) shows that women who eat fried food regularly before conceiving are increased at risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
Recently, frequent consumption of fried foods has been linked to a higher risk of overweight and obesity in two Mediterranean cohorts.
and the risk of subsequent GDM. The authors included 21,079 singleton pregnancies from 15,027 women in the Nurses'Health Study II (NHS II) cohort.

and 2. 18 respectively (thus a more than-doubling of risk for 7 times or more per week or more compared with less than once per week).
After this, the risk ratios of GDM among women who consumed total fried foods 1-3, 4-6,
and 1. 88 respectively (thus an 88%increased risk for 7 or more times per week compared with less than once per week).
This may partly explain why we observed a stronger association of GDM risk with fried foods consumed away from home than fried foods consumed at home."
and positively associated with the risk of incident GDM in a prospective cohort study. Our study indicates potential benefits of limiting fried food consumption in the prevention of GDM in women of reproductive age.
