Cardiovascular effects of current and future anti-obesity drugs.
Abstract The prevalence of obesity increases and is associated with increases in co-morbidities e.g. type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, stroke, asthma, several forms of cancer, depression, and may result in reduction of expected remaining lifespan. We have reviewed the adverse effects on the cardiovascular system of anti-obesity drugs now retracted from the market as well as the cardiovascular profile of current drugs and potential pathways which are considered for treatment of obesity. Fenfluramine, and sibutramine were withdrawn due to increased cardiovascular ...

Multimorbidity and the risk of restless legs syndrome in 2 prospective cohort studies
Conclusions: Multimorbidity was a strong risk factor for RLS in these 2 population-based cohort studies. The results support the hypothesis that cumulative disease burden is more important than the presence of a specific single disease in the pathophysiology of RLS.

Psychiatric and neurologic risk factors for incident cases of new‐onset epilepsy in older adults: Data from U.S. Medicare beneficiaries
Summary ObjectiveNeurologic diseases such as stroke are risk factors for new‐onset epilepsy in older adults. Recent evidence suggests that psychiatric disorders independently predict epilepsy in older male veterans. Our aim was to examine the relationship between these disorders in a population‐based study of older adults that also included women and minorities. MethodsWe used a national 5% random sample of 2005 Medicare beneficiaries including all 50 US states and Washington, DC. Beneficiaries were 65 years of age or older, with continuous Medicare Part A and Part B coverage and not in managed care plans. Epilepsy ca...

The use of stimulant medications for non-core aspects of ADHD and in other disorders.
Abstract Psychostimulants play a central role in the management of ADHD. Here we review the evidence pertaining to the use of methylphenidate, dexamphetamine and related amphetamine salts, the prodrug lisdexamfetamine and modafinil for the management of comorbid ADHD and non-ADHD indications. There is a growing consensus that stimulant medications are helpful at improving the emotional dysregulation and lability, and oppositional and conduct symptoms that are often associated with ADHD. There is some evidence that psychostimulants may improve outcomes in those with treatment resistant depression, reduce negative s...

Running 7 minutes a day 'halves heart death risk'
Conclusion This well-conducted cohort study found running is associated with a reduction in risk of death from any cause and death from cardiovascular disease during a 15-year follow-up. It calculated running was associated with a three-year increase in life expectancy. The study also found short duration running (less than 51 minutes a week, equivalent to less than approximately seven minutes a day) or running at slow speeds was associated with a reduction in risk. As this was a cohort study, it cannot show running caused the reduction in risk of death. It is possible there were other differences between runners and n...

Health Insurance and Chronic Conditions in Low-Income Urban Whites
This study uses cross-sectional data on 491 low-income urban non-elderly non-Hispanic whites from the Exploring Health Disparities in Integrated Communities—Southwest Baltimore (EHDIC-SWB) study to examine the relationship between insurance status and chronic conditions (defined as participant report of ever being told by a doctor they had hypertension, diabetes, stroke, heart attack, anxiety or depression, asthma or emphysema, or cancer). In this sample, 45.8 % were uninsured, 28.3 % were publicly insured, and 25.9 % had private insurance. Insured participants had similar odds of having any chronic condition (odds ra...

FDA Approval of Paroxetine for Menopausal Hot Flushes
ABSTRACT: In June 2013, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved paroxetine (Brisdelle, Noven) for the treatment of moderate to severe hot flushes (vasomotor symptoms) associated with menopause. Brisdelle is the only nonhormonal treatment approved by the FDA for this indication. Prior to approval of Brisdelle, FDA-approved treatments for hot flashes were hormones containing either estrogen alone or estrogen plus a progestin. Hormonal therapy is highly effective for treating vasomotor symptoms. However, the use of hormonal therapy dropped substantially after initial findings of the Women’s Health Initiative randomi...

Health in older women athletes
Physical activity is commonly recognized as healthy behavior and an important part of modern life. A large body of evidence shows that regular physical activity plays a protective role against the development of several conditions, such as cardiovascular disease (hypertension and thromboembolic stroke), type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, colon cancer, breast cancer and psychiatric illness (depression and anxiety) [1]. Recently, some evidence has been found concerning a negative correlation between physical activity and cognitive decline among women [2].

Amy Poehler Struggles With Sleep Just Like The Rest Of Us
You'd think the juggling act of raising two young sons, producing, acting and sometimes directing the final season of "Parks and Recreation," hosting the 2013 and 2014 Golden Globes and maintaining her besties status with Seth Meyers and Tiny Fey would be tiring enough. But actress Amy Poehler doesn't curl into bed at night and fall asleep immediately out of pure exhaustion. In her recently released memoir Yes Please, Poehler hilariously chronicles major events in her life with wisdom and ease -- including her early Chicago improv days, kicking ass as a waitress, getting hired for "Saturday Night Live" at age 30, her marr...
