Polycystic ovary syndrome: a reproductive and metabolic web of risk, comorbidities, and disease
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been described as the most common endocrine disorder affecting reproductive age women. PCOS is often associated with metabolic dysfunction, obesity, glucose intolerance with hyperinsulinemia, lipid abnormalities. and hypertension. Women with PCOS also suffer higher rates of cardiovascular (CV) disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke, diabetes, sleep apnea, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and breast and uterine cancer. However, rather than a strict cause and effect relationship, many have argued that these conditions are independent or related to a specific feature such as obesit...

Dental status is Associated with Incident Functional Disability in Community-Dwelling Older Japanese: A Prospective Cohort Study Using Propensity Score Matching.
CONCLUSIONS: In this prospective cohort study targeting community-dwelling older adults in Japan, less than 20 teeth was confirmed to be an independent risk factor for functional disability even after conducting propensity score matching. This study supports previous publications showing that oral health is associated with functional disability.

High-Fiber Diet Linked To Lower Risk Of Death And Chronic Illness
(CNN) — People who eat diets that are high in fiber have lower risk of death and chronic diseases such as stroke or cancer compared with people with low fiber intake, a new analysis found.
Dietary fiber includes plant-based carbohydrates such as whole-grain cereal, seeds and some legumes. Fiber’s health benefits have been recorded “by over 100 years of research,” Andrew Reynolds, a researcher at the University of Otago in New Zealand, wrote in an email. He is co-author of the new meta-analysis of existing research, which was published Thursday in the journal The Lancet.
The research shows that high...

Impact of a prudent lifestyle on the clinical outcomes of older men with bipolar disorder.
CONCLUSION: The excess morbidity and mortality of older men with BD seems to be mediated by non-prudent lifestyle practices. If future studies can demonstrate that this association is causal, then lifestyle interventions will need to become an integral part of the management of older adults with BD.

Serum Beta Carotene and Overall and Cause-Specific Mortality.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence that higher beta carotene biochemical status is associated with lower overall, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other causes of mortality. The dose-response associations over a 30-year period were not attenuated by adjustment for other important risk factors and support greater fruit and vegetable consumption as a means to increase beta carotene status and promote longevity.

Too Much Sleep Linked To Greater Risk Of Disease & Death, Study Finds
(CNN) — The recommended amount of sleep for adults is six to eight hours a night. Sleeping more than those hours is associated with an increased risk of death and cardiovascular diseases, says a global study published Wednesday in the European Heart Journal.
Looking at data from 21 countries, across seven regions, the research team found that people sleeping more than the recommended upper limit of eight hours increased their risk of major cardiovascular events, like stroke or heart failure, as well as death by up to 41%.
But a possible reason for this could be that people have underlying conditions causing them to s...

Non-Invasive In Vivo MRI Method to Image Salient Features of Axons and Nerves
The invention from Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) provides a non-invasive, painless means for measuring microanatomical features of Nerve and Axon Diameter Distribution (ADD) to image the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems (CNS and PNS). ADD is altered in abnormal development (e.g., autism), in neurodegenerative processes (e.g., aging, alcoholism, Alzheimer ’s disease) and diseases such as ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). U.S. patent 7,643,863, related to this invention, consists of a novel diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) experiment and modeling framew...
