This document discusses a neuroscience-informed biopsychosocial approach to managing low back pain in athletes. It begins by describing the traditional biomedical model used to treat athlete back pain, focusing on identifying pathology and correcting biomechanics. However, research shows this approach often fails to explain persistent pain. The document then proposes a biopsychosocial model incorporating knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics, tissue pathology, pain mechanisms, and how the nervous system processes injury and pain. It describes moving beyond a solely biological understanding to address psychological and social factors. Finally, it discusses components of a biopsychosocial approach including the brain's representation of injury and how the nervous system's sensitivity can develop centrally over time independent

A Retrospective Study to Investigate Association among Age, BMI and BMD in th...IOSR Journals
Bone strength (and, hence, fracture risk) is dependent on many qualities of bone, of which bone mineral density (BMD) is the most commonly measured. Association between advancing age and lower body mass index (BMI) is an important risk factor in the occurrence of low BMD. This study was aimed at evaluation of the association among age, BMI and status of BMD among 159 age matched postmenopausal women who underwent Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptimetry (DEXA) scan. The study population was divided into three groups on the basis of body mass index (BMI) as normal weight, obese and severely obese. The mean bone mineral density (BMD) of obese and severely obese postmenopausal women was found to be significantly higher (P value < 0.001) as compared to the mean BMD of normal weight women. Significant negative correlation was found between the age and BMI except in severely obese group (P value < 0.05). Age and BMD in all the three groups correlated negatively (P value < 0.01) in all the three groups. BMD and BMI in the normal weight group significantly correlated negatively (P value < 0.05) while a very weak positive but insignificant correlation existed between the same in the obese and severely obese postmenopausal women. The study revealed that with advancing age BMD is lowered and that higher BMI might have a positive influence (although not significant as observed in the present study) on the BMD. Other factors like exposure to sunlight, calcium intake, diet etc should also be investigated which could not be probed in the present study as it was a retrospective analysis.
Neuroprotective effects of α-Lipoic acid alone and in combination with feruli...Mayuri N Jagtap
The present pre-clinical activity was undertaken to screen the two antioxidants, mainly α-lipoic acid and ferulic acid alone, and in combination in neuropathic pain induced by diabetes in rats. The activity was confirmed by assessing various behavioral as well as biochemical and histopathological studies. The study was performed on adult albino rats. The rats were divided into different groups, and each group contained six rats. Diabetic neuropathy in rats was induced by administering a freshly prepared single dose of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg, i.p). After development of neuropathy the rats were treated with α-lipoic acid (25 mg/kg/day, p.o), ferulic acid (10 mg/kg/day, p.o) and standard drug Pregabalin (30 mg/kg/day i.p). One group received the combination of antioxidants, i.e.,α-lipoic acid (12mg/kg, p.o) and ferulic acid (05 mg/kg/day, p.o) respectively, for two weeks. Neuropathic pain was assessed using mechanical allodynia, mechanical hyperalgesia, cold allodynia, and thermal allodynia. Biochemical parameters of blood glucose, nitric oxide, level of lipid peroxidase, reduced glutathione, and membrane-bound ATPases activities were also studied. Neuropathic pain induced rats showed a significant alteration in behavioral and biochemical parameters. Treatment with α-lipoic acid in combination with Ferulic acid significantly restored the altered parameters towards normal as compared to single antioxidants, thus provided proper neuroprotection. This effect might be due to the strong free radical scavenging potential of α-lipoic acid and ferulic acid.
The document contains illustrations and descriptions of various methods for measuring body composition, including BMI categories, skinfold thickness measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis, waist circumference measurements, computed tomography scans, magnetic resonance imaging, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans, and ultrasonography. It also discusses criteria for diagnosing metabolic syndrome based on measurements of abdominal obesity, blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood glucose levels.
This document provides an update to the 2001 American College of Sports Medicine position stand on appropriate physical activity intervention strategies for weight loss and prevention of weight regain in adults. It summarizes evidence that greater amounts of physical activity than previously recommended, between 150-250 minutes per week, may be needed to effectively prevent weight gain, promote weight loss, and prevent weight regain. Moderate-intensity physical activity of this duration is supported to prevent weight gain greater than 3% and provide modest weight loss of around 2-3 kilograms, but greater amounts above 225-420 minutes per week may be needed for clinically significant weight loss of 5-7.5 kilograms. However, no randomized controlled trials have clearly established physical activity levels needed

Chronic administration of the novel hydrogel Gelesis100 at a dose of 2.25 g twice daily significantly decreased body weight in overweight and obese subjects over 12 weeks compared to placebo. Weight loss was especially pronounced in subjects with impaired fasting glucose at baseline. Gelesis100 was well tolerated with few gastrointestinal side effects. The hydrogel works by expanding in the stomach and intestines to increase feelings of fullness without calories. It has potential as a safe and effective weight loss treatment, especially for those with prediabetes.
Body Composition Profiling: The Stepping Stone Towards Precision Medicine in ...Chelsea Ranger
Body composition and fat distribution is an unknown factor in many clinical trials conducted in the metabolic area today. Many studies are likely conducted in a population thought to be homogeneous, while those studies actually include subjects with vastly different body compositions associated with completely different metabolic disease profiles. The answer to whom should be included and which subjects respond best to a treatment could lie in body composition.

The documents discuss the relationship between dietary glycemic index (GI) and obesity. High-GI foods are rapidly digested and absorbed, causing sudden rises in blood glucose and insulin levels. One study found that obese teenagers consumed 53% more calories after a high-GI breakfast compared to a low-GI breakfast. High-GI diets in animals have been shown to increase fat deposition and cause greater weight gain over time compared to low-GI diets. However, long-term clinical trials are still needed to fully examine the effects of GI on human body weight regulation.

The document discusses strategies for healthy weight loss, including maintaining a calorie deficit through diet and exercise. It notes that portion sizes have increased significantly over the past 20 years, contributing to weight gain. Various weight loss drugs are mentioned, but many were withdrawn from the market due to safety concerns. Long-term weight loss is associated with reducing intake of sugary drinks and desserts and increasing physical activity and sleep. The key to weight loss is creating a calorie deficit through lifestyle changes.
This document discusses obesity and related topics including:
- Definitions of obesity and measurements like BMI and waist circumference.
- The global scale of obesity and trends over time showing rising rates.
- Common causes of obesity including changes to food environment, diet, and physical activity levels.
- Endocrine factors that can contribute to obesity like hormones that regulate hunger.
- Health complications of obesity such as increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers.
- Approaches to obesity management including diet, exercise, drugs, and bariatric surgery. Evidence is presented on effectiveness of different options.
- The relationship between obesity and diabetes including impact of weight gain from diabetes medications and potential benefits of new incre
The document discusses recent advances in surgical treatment for obesity, focusing on laparoscopic gastric banding surgery as a treatment option that can provide sustained weight loss over several years. It describes the health risks of obesity and how weight loss surgery like gastric banding can help resolve health conditions by facilitating gradual and long-term weight loss. Key details about the LAP-BAND system and the surgical procedure are provided.
Recent advances in surgical treatment for obesity include laparoscopic gastric banding surgery, which provides a partnership for sustained weight loss. Obesity is defined as a BMI over 30 and affects 20% of adults, increasing risks for diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and some cancers. While diet and behavior changes often fail to maintain long-term weight loss, surgery has been shown to produce 60% excess weight loss after 2 years through a gradual process, resolving comorbidities. The LAP-BAND system works by allowing small meals to satisfy hunger for long periods, providing an adjustable tool for significant weight loss.

This document discusses assessing a patient's diet and using low-calorie diets (LCD) and very low-calorie diets (VLCD) for weight loss and management. It provides information on factors that influence food choices, differences between plant-based and Western diets, strategies for changing diet and lifestyle, and using meal replacements and customizing protein intake as part of a weight loss plan.
This document discusses obesity and infertility. It begins by defining categories of obesity based on BMI. It then shows trends over time revealing increasing rates of obesity globally. The document outlines how obesity impacts fertility potential by disrupting the menstrual cycle and increasing rates of anovulation. Specifically, it discusses how excess weight leads to hormonal imbalances and changes fat distribution in the body. The role of obesity in assisted reproductive technologies is then reviewed, finding obesity reduces response to fertility drugs and lowers success rates of IVF. Lastly, the document discusses how weight loss can help improve fertility.
This document summarizes research on the relationships between obesity, physical activity, and breast cancer risk and prognosis. It finds that obesity is positively associated with breast cancer risk and mortality in postmenopausal women. Physical activity is associated with reduced breast cancer risk and improved survival. Obesity may influence breast cancer through increased estrogen levels, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Weight loss interventions show improvements in relevant biomarkers and health outcomes for breast cancer survivors. The ENERGY trial aims to test if weight loss counseling improves weight and physical functioning in breast cancer survivors.
The document discusses obesity, including its definition, classification, prevalence, causes, comorbidities, and treatment approaches. Some key points include:
- Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30 or higher and is classified based on BMI levels. It affects over 19% of adults in the US and over 32% in Kuwait.
- Factors contributing to obesity include an energy imbalance where calorie intake exceeds energy expenditure. Hypothalamus plays a role in regulating hunger and satiety.
- Obesity is associated with increased risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and certain cancers.
- Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, as well as potential drug therapies or surgery for

This document discusses childhood obesity and its long-term health consequences. It notes that childhood obesity increases the risks of non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The risks of these diseases are influenced by factors in early life like an individual's birth weight and their mother's diet and lifestyle during pregnancy. The document suggests that interventions focused only on adult lifestyle may be too late, as metabolic and weight control systems are programmed in early development based on environmental influences like nutrition in the womb and early life. A broader, early life approach is needed to address obesity and chronic disease risks.
The document discusses bariatric surgery options and outcomes for patients with a BMI over 50 (super obesity). It reviews the trends in various bariatric procedures from the 1990s, including restrictive procedures like vertical banded gastroplasty and laparoscopic gastric banding, as well as malabsorptive procedures like Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Studies presented show that while super obese patients lose more weight than morbidly obese patients after various procedures, they often do not achieve normal weight. Malabsorptive procedures tend to produce greater weight loss for super obese patients compared to restrictive options.
Dear Colleagues
This topic is targeting the understanding of the methods of body composition and their application in clinical practice. Since Obesity is a major cause of morbidity worldwide, this has to be under a healthcare program and to be recognized by the healthcare system and the providers.

This document discusses recent advances in surgical treatment for obesity, focusing on laparoscopic gastric band surgery. It provides definitions of obesity, discusses the prevalence and health risks of obesity in Australia. It then summarizes the LAP-BAND system, how it works to promote weight loss through gradual restriction of food intake and sustained feelings of fullness. It notes that LAP-BAND produces similar long-term weight loss as more invasive surgeries, with affordable costs covered partly by private health insurance. Interested patients are instructed to contact the clinic for a consultation.

The document discusses the metabolic effects of sleeve gastrectomy for treating obesity and diabetes. It finds that sleeve gastrectomy results in significant weight loss and resolution of diabetes in patients with BMI over 35. For patients with BMI between 30-35, sleeve gastrectomy also led to improved blood glucose levels, reduced medication use, and 70% resolution of diabetes after 1 year according to HbA1c levels. However, more randomized trials are still needed to determine if these effects are long-lasting for chronic diseases like diabetes.

Early insulin therapy may help preserve pancreatic beta cell function by reducing glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity, and may provide cardioprotection by helping reach glycemic targets. While weight loss can be more difficult for those with T2DM, lifestyle and medical interventions can still help manage the disease.

NAVIGATING THE HORIZONS OF TIME LAPSE EMBRYO MONITORING.pdfRahul Sen
Time-lapse embryo monitoring is an advanced imaging technique used in IVF to continuously observe embryo development. It captures high-resolution images at regular intervals, allowing embryologists to select the most viable embryos for transfer based on detailed growth patterns. This technology enhances embryo selection, potentially increasing pregnancy success rates.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

Your smile is beautiful.
Let’s be honest. Maintaining that beautiful smile is not an easy task. It is more than brushing and flossing. Sometimes, you might encounter dental issues that need special dental care. These issues can range anywhere from misalignment of the jaw to pain in the root of teeth.
The skin is the largest organ and its health plays a vital role among the other sense organs. The skin concerns like acne breakout, psoriasis, or anything similar along the lines, finding a qualified and experienced dermatologist becomes paramount.

Framingham Heart Study, Framingham, Mass 01702, USA.
BACKGROUND: Extreme obesity is recognized to be a risk factor for heart failure. It is
unclear whether overweight and lesser degrees of obesity also pose a risk. METHODS: We
investigated the relation between the body-mass index (the weight in kilograms divided by the
square of the height in meters) and the incidence of heart failure among 5881 participants in
the Framingham Heart Study (mean age, 55 years; 54 percent women). With the use of Cox
proportional-hazards models, the body-mass index was evaluated both as a continuous
variable and as a categorical variable (normal, 18.5 to 24.9; overweight, 25.0 to 29.9; and
obese, 30.0 or more). RESULTS: During follow-up (mean, 14 years), heart failure developed
in 496 subjects (258 women and 238 men). After adjustment for established risk factors, there
was an increase in the risk of heart failure of 5 percent for men and 7 percent for women for
each increment of 1 in body-mass index. As compared with subjects with a normal body-mass
index, obese subjects had a doubling of the risk of heart failure. For women, the hazard ratio
was 2.12 (95 percent confidence interval, 1.51 to 2.97); for men, the hazard ratio was 1.90 (95
percent confidence interval, 1.30 to 2.79). A graded increase in the risk of heart failure was
observed across categories of body-mass index. The hazard ratios per increase in category
were 1.46 in women (95 percent confidence interval, 1.23 to 1.72) and 1.37 in men (95
percent confidence interval, 1.13 to 1.67). CONCLUSIONS: In our large, community-based
sample, increased body-mass index was associated with an increased risk of heart failure.
Given the high prevalence of obesity in the United States, strategies to promote optimal body
weight may reduce the population burden of heart failure. Copyright 2002 Massachusetts

CONTEXT: Overweight and obesity are increasing in the United States. Changes in diet and
physical activity are important for weight control. OBJECTIVES: To examine the prevalence
of attempting to lose or to maintain weight and to describe weight control strategies among
US adults. DESIGN: The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, a random-digit
telephone survey conducted in 1996 by state health departments. Setting The 49 states (and
the District of Columbia) that participated in the survey. PARTICIPANTS: Adults aged 18
years and older (N = 107 804). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Reported current weights
and goal weights, prevalence of weight loss or maintenance attempts, and strategies used to
control weight (eating fewer calories, eating less fat, or using physical activity) by population
subgroup. RESULTS: The prevalence of attempting to lose and maintain weight was 28.8%
4. and 35.1 % among men and 43.6% and 34.4% among women, respectively. Among those
attempting to lose weight, a common strategy was to consume less fat but not fewer calories
(34.9% of men and 40.0% of women); only 21.5% of men and 19.4% of women reported
using the recommended combination of eating fewer calories and engaging in at least 150
minutes of leisure-time physical activity per week. Among men trying to lose weight, the
median weight was 90.4 kg with a goal weight of 81.4 kg. Among women, the median weight
was 70.3 kg with a goal weight of 59.0 kg. CONCLUSIONS: Weight loss and weight
maintenance are common concerns for US men and women. Most persons trying to lose
weight are not using the recommended combination of reducing calorie intake and engaging
in leisure-time physical activity 150 minutes or more per week.

[Modified fasting in the therapy of obesity. A comparison of total fasting and low-calorie
diets of various protein contents]
[Article in German]
Wechsler JG, Wenzel H, Swobodnik W, Ditschuneit H.
Modified fasting represents a successful therapy for obesity without severe side effects. The
daily energy-substitution (1000-1700 kJ) consists of 30-50 g high quality protein, 20-40 g
carbohydrates and small amounts of fat. The mean weight loss is 11-14 kg in a four-week
treatment period. In contrast to total fasting the weight loss achieved with modified fasting
consisted in a percentage of 79% adipose tissue and a minimal protein loss of 3%. The
nitrogen equilibrium was reached after one to three weeks thus avoiding the risks of greater
protein losses.

CONTEXT: The scarcity of data addressing the health effects of popular diets is an important
public health concern, especially since patients and physicians are interested in using popular
diets as individualized eating strategies for disease prevention. OBJECTIVE: To assess
adherence rates and the effectiveness of 4 popular diets (Atkins, Zone, Weight Watchers, and
Ornish) for weight loss and cardiac risk factor reduction. DESIGN, SETTING, AND
PARTICIPANTS: A single-center randomized trial at an academic medical center in Boston,
Mass, of overweight or obese (body mass index: mean, 35; range, 27-42) adults aged 22 to 72
years with known hypertension, dyslipidemia, or fasting hyperglycemia. Participants were
enrolled starting July 18, 2000, and randomized to 4 popular diet groups until January 24,
2002. INTERVENTION: A total of 160 participants were randomly assigned to either Atkins
(carbohydrate restriction, n=40), Zone (macronutrient balance, n=40), Weight Watchers
(calorie restriction, n=40), or Ornish (fat restriction, n=40) diet groups. After 2 months of
maximum effort, participants selected their own levels of dietary adherence. MAIN
OUTCOME MEASURES: One-year changes in baseline weight and cardiac risk factors, and
self-selected dietary adherence rates per self-report. RESULTS: Assuming no change from
baseline for participants who discontinued the study, mean (SD) weight loss at 1 year was 2.1
(4.8) kg for Atkins (21 [53%] of 40 participants completed, P = .009), 3.2 (6.0) kg for Zone
(26 [65%] of 40 completed, P = .002), 3.0 (4.9) kg for Weight Watchers (26 [65%] of 40
completed, P < .001), and 3.3 (7.3) kg for Ornish (20 [50%] of 40 completed, P = .007).
Greater effects were observed in study completers. Each diet significantly reduced the low-
density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio by approximately 10%
(all P<.05), with no significant effects on blood pressure or glucose at 1 year. Amount of
weight loss was associated with self-reported dietary adherence level (r = 0.60; P<.001) but
not with diet type (r = 0.07; P = .40). For each diet, decreasing levels of total/HDL
cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and insulin were significantly associated with weight loss
(mean r = 0.36, 0.37, and 0.39, respectively) with no significant difference between diets (P =
.48, P = .57, P = .31, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Each popular diet modestly reduced
body weight and several cardiac risk factors at 1 year. Overall dietary adherence rates were
low, although increased adherence was associated with greater weight loss and cardiac risk
factor reductions for each diet group.

BACKGROUND: Despite the popularity of the low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat
(Atkins) diet, no randomized, controlled trials have evaluated its efficacy. METHODS: We
conducted a one-year, multicenter, controlled trial involving 63 obese men and women who
were randomly assigned to either a low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diet or a low-
calorie, high-carbohydrate, low-fat (conventional) diet. Professional contact was minimal to
replicate the approach used by most dieters. RESULTS: Subjects on the low-carbohydrate diet
had lost more weight than subjects on the conventional diet at 3 months (mean [+/-SD], -
6.8+/-5.0 vs. -2.7+/-3.7 percent of body weight; P=0.001) and 6 months (-7.0+/-6.5 vs. -3.2+/-
5.6 percent of body weight, P=0.02), but the difference at 12 months was not significant (-
4.4+/-6.7 vs. -2.5+/-6.3 percent of body weight, P=0.26). After three months, no significant
differences were found between the groups in total or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
8. concentrations. The increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations and the
decrease in triglyceride concentrations were greater among subjects on the low-carbohydrate
diet than among those on the conventional diet throughout most of the study. Both diets
significantly decreased diastolic blood pressure and the insulin response to an oral glucose
load. CONCLUSIONS: The low-carbohydrate diet produced a greater weight loss (absolute
difference, approximately 4 percent) than did the conventional diet for the first six months,
but the differences were not significant at one year. The low-carbohydrate diet was associated
with a greater improvement in some risk factors for coronary heart disease. Adherence was
poor and attrition was high in both groups. Longer and larger studies are required to
determine the long-term safety and efficacy of low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diets.
