Epigenetics of Early-Life Socioeconomic Stressors and the Impact on Childhood Body Mass Index —Potential Mechanism and Biomarker?
Overweight and obesity are growing epidemics worldwide. Recent estimates from the World Health Organization indicate that 39% of adults had overweight, and 13% had obesity. In addition, an estimated 340 million children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 years had overweight or obesity in 2016 whereas 39 million children younger than 5 years had overweight or obesity in 2020. Understanding the biological mechanisms behind the development of overweight and obesity is critical as overweight and obesity are risk factors for a host of cardiometabolic outcomes including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.

Fast Heartburn Relief Without Deadly Drugs
Since gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was first identified in the early 1930s, the number of people experiencing heartburn has increased substantially. In fact, one study shows that in just 10 years, the number of people experiencing:1 Any GERD symptoms increased by 30% Symptoms at least once a week increased by 47% Severe GERD increased by 24% While these numbers are concerning, I’ll admit they’re not surprising considering the typical American diet.

I’m sure you’ve noticed how expensive eggs have gotten lately. The price has soared more than any other food in the supermarket…up 60% from one year ago.1 One reason for skyrocketing prices is the ongoing avian flu epidemic. But another reason is that demand for “nature’s perfect food” has increased substantially. And that is good news because eggs are essential for your health – including the fight against Alzheimer’s. And that means they’re worth every penny for the way they protect your brain. Two breakthrough studies back up what I’ve been telling my patients for over three decades… That ...

Obesity and kidney transplantation
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Feb 1. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001050. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. It is a risk factor for developing, among others, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), and thus a major public health concern and driver of healthcare costs. Although the prevalence of obesity in the CKD/end-stage kidney disease population is increasing, many obese patients are excluded from the benefit of kidney transplant based on their BMI alone. For this reason, we sought to review the experience th...

The Contemporary Impact of Body Mass Index on Open Aortic Aneurysm Repair
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has deemed obesity a national epidemic and contributor to other leading causes of death including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Accordingly, the role of body mass index (BMI) and its impact on surgical outcomes has been a focus of persistent investigation. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of BMI on open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (oAAA) outcomes in contemporary practice.
