Low birth weight not associated with increased risk for childhood asthma

2013-02-15 16:33:00 (читать в оригинале)

There was no link between low birth weight and an increased risk for children developing asthma within the first 7 years of life, according to recent study results.Researchers in Rochester, Minn., conducted a retrospective cohort study of 3,933 children born between January 1976 and December 1979 to compare incidence of childhood asthma between low birth weight and normal birth weight newborns. One hundred ninety-three children had low birth weight (less than 2,500 g), and 3,740 were considered of normal birth weight (2,500 g or more).

Melanocortin 4 receptor agonists activate obesity-related hypertension

2013-02-15 16:33:00 (читать в оригинале)

A cellular correlation between melanocortin 4 receptor agonists and their role in obesity-associated hypertension has been identified, according to data published in Cell.“Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, with recent statistics showing that obese adults are three to four times more likely to develop high blood pressure,” study researcher Nina Balthasar, PhD, from the school of physiology and pharmacology at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom, said in a press release. “In order to curb the escalating incidence of obesity and obesity-related diseases, a primary prevention goal must be to understand the physiological processes underlying our vulnerability to weight gain — knowledge that is central to the development of novel, effective therapies.”

BLOG: Reduced CBO estimate reignites debate over sustainable growth rate repeal

2013-02-15 16:33:00 (читать в оригинале)

On Feb. 5, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reduced its estimate of the cost to freeze Medicare payments under the physician fee schedule (PFS) at current levels by more than $100 billion. Medicare spending under the PFS is driven in large part by the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula. Under the current formula, the CBO projects that Medicare payments to physicians will be reduced by about 25% percent in January 2014 before increasing by small amounts in subsequent years.
