In The Marshall Islands, Traditional Agriculture And Healthy Eating Are A Climate Change Strategy
LAURA VILLAGE, Marshall Islands -- Holding in his hand a bunch of what he called mountain apples, Steve Lepton grinned like a kid with a new toy. “Oh, it’s good,” he said. “Yesterday I didn’t find any fruit on this one. Wow, this is great. They’re getting red.” The delicate little fruit is crunchy like an apple and sweet. It’s a popular snack in the Marshall Islands, Lepton told The WorldPost, but kids pickle it with salt and Kool-Aid, which defeats the purpose of eating fruit in the first place. As the Global Climate and Health Alliance made clear with an announcement ...

Message from the Minister of Health - National Non-Smoking Week January 17-23, 2016
Canada has made great strides in tobacco control, demonstrated by our country's all-time low smoking rate of 15 per cent. However, millions of Canadians continue to smoke, increasing their risk for developing cancer, heart disease, lung disease, stroke, or other complications. During National Non-Smoking Week, and throughout the year, the Government of Canada supports smokers in their efforts to quit smoking and live healthier lives.

Tipping the scales: Why preventing obesity makes economic sense
The report found that rising rates of obesity and overweight could lead to 700,000 new cancer cases in the UK, as well as millions of new cases of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke. This would cost the NHS an additional £2.5 billion a year by 2035 over and above what is already spent on obesity related disease. The report calls on the Government to introduce a 20p per litre tax on sugary drinks as well as a 9pm watershed ban on TV advertising of junk food as part of a comprehensive children's obesity strategy.

Three quarters of councils still insisting on 15 minute homecare visits for elderly and disabled people, reveals UNISON report
Three quarters (74 per cent) of local authorities in England are still limiting homecare visits for their elderly, ill and disabled residents to just 15 minutes, says UNISON in a report published today (Friday).
The report – entitled Suffering Alone at Home – is based on an online survey of 1,100 homecare workers and data obtained from a Freedom of Information request (FoI) to the 152 local authorities in England that commission social care visits.
The UNISON survey findings mirror those of the FoI request to local councils. Three quarters (74 per cent) of homecare workers who responded felt they did not have enough ...

Placental growth factor deficiency is associated with impaired cerebral vascular development in mice
STUDY HYPOTHESIS
Placental growth factor (PGF) is expressed in the developing mouse brain and contributes to vascularization and vessel patterning.
STUDY FINDING
PGF is dynamically expressed in fetal mouse brain, particularly forebrain, and is essential for normal cerebrovascular development.
WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY
PGF rises in maternal plasma over normal human and mouse pregnancy but is low in many women with the acute onset hypertensive syndrome, pre-eclampsia (PE). Little is known about the expression of PGF in the fetus during PE. Pgf –/– mice appear normal but recently cerebral vascular defects were docum...

2016 Moon Shot for Cancer: Focus on Prevention
It is now 2016, and Americans hope for a brighter, healthier new year. Are Americans healthier today than they were last year or the year before? Will there be fewer people diagnosed with cancer? According to the American Cancer Society, it is projected that in 2016 there will be 1,685,210 new cancer cases and 595,690 deaths due to cancer. This is an increase over previous years. While it is true that the death rate for several cancers has decreased (due mostly to better screening and earlier diagnosis), it is also true that several cancers are on the rise, including cancers of the thyroid, liver, pancreas, kidney, small i...

PERSPECTIVES The Economic Promise of Delayed Aging
Biomedicine has made enormous progress in the last half century in treating common diseases. However, we are becoming victims of our own success. Causes of death strongly associated with biological aging, such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke-cluster within individuals as they grow older. These conditions increase frailty and limit the benefits of continued, disease-specific improvements. Here, we show that a "delayed-aging" scenario, modeled on the biological benefits observed in the most promising animal models, could solve this problem of competing risks. The economic value of delayed agin...

The Japanese rTMS experience – Present and future
Fig. 8 coil, which is popular now, was invented by Prof. Ueno in 1988 and spread globally. The rTMS machines were developed in Europe and imported to Japan from 2001 and spread over Japan. The clinical treatments with rTMS have been mainly used for Parkinson’s syndrome, neuropathic pain, depression and rehabilitation after stroke. rTMS of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Neuronetics Inc) for depression is already used in Japanese private clinic, and will be approved by Japanese government in the near future.
