More Than 3,000 Emergency Hospital Admissions A Year For Children With Diabet... 8 Feb 2010 at 5:00am Latest figures reveal that last year there were more than 3,300 cases of children in England admitted to accident and emergency departments with DKA. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occurs when blood glucose levels are high (hyperglycaemia) and causes nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, rapid breathing and, if left untreated, may lead to coma. DKA requires urgent hospital treatment... Sugar Sweetened Carbonated Drinks Linked To Pancreatic Cancer 8 Feb 2010 at 4:00am A new study found that people who consumed two or more soft drinks (defined as sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages) a week, had a nearly two-fold higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer; the researchers suggested regular consumption of sweetened beverages could raise insulin levels and thereby fuel the growth of pancreatic cancer cells... Possible 'Artificial Pancreas' For Children With Diabetes 7 Feb 2010 at 2:00am Scientists in Cambridge have shown that an 'artificial pancreas' can be used to regulate blood glucose in children with Type 1 diabetes. A trial found that combining a real-time sensor measuring glucose levels with a pump that delivers insulin can boost overnight blood glucose control... Artificial Pancreas Trials Show Benefits For Kids, Teenagers With Diabetes 6 Feb 2010 at 3:00am In a landmark study in children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes, JDRF-funded researchers at the University of Cambridge showed that using a first-generation artificial pancreas system overnight can lower the risk of low blood sugar emergencies while sleeping, and at the same time improve diabetes control... Overeating Triggers Molecular 'Firing Squad' In Mice, Destroys Metabolism 6 Feb 2010 at 2:00am Overeating in mice triggers a molecule once considered to be only involved in detecting and fighting viruses to also destroy normal metabolism, leading to insulin resistance and setting the stage for diabetes... American Diabetes Association Announces Kansas City, Missouri Native Amy John... 5 Feb 2010 at 9:00pm The American Diabetes Association announced that Amy Johnson, 17, of Kansas City, Missouri, will be the Association's 2010 National Youth Advocate. Johnson was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 12 years old... New Research Uncovers Molecular "Firing Squad" Through Which Overeating Destr... 5 Feb 2010 at 11:00am Overeating in mice triggers a molecule once considered to be only involved in detecting and fighting viruses to also destroy normal metabolism, leading to insulin resistance and setting the stage for diabetes... Discovery Of Possible Source Of Beta Cell Destruction That Leads To Type 1 Di... 5 Feb 2010 at 7:00am Doctors at Eastern Virginia Medical School's Strelitz Diabetes Center have been stalking the culprit responsible for Type 1 diabetes. Now, they are one step closer... Access Pharmaceuticals Initiates Program Applying Cobalamin Platform To SiRNA... 5 Feb 2010 at 4:00am ACCESS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (OTC Bulletin Board: ACCP) announced that it initiated an internal pre-licensing program to confirm the utility of its proprietary Cobalamin (vitamin B12) platform technology for targeted delivery of siRNA therapies... TGen And Geisinger Health System Announce Strategic Partnership 5 Feb 2010 at 3:00am The Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) and Geisinger Health System have announced the signing of a strategic research agreement that provides for a focused look at the gaps in clinical medicine where biomedical research can make a difference. One of the first projects will focus on the causes of obesity, diabetes and other metabolic conditions... Young Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: Closed-Loop 'Artificial Pancreas' System... 5 Feb 2010 at 2:00am An article published Online First and in an upcoming edition of The Lancet reports that the use of 'artificial pancreas' closed-loop insulin delivery systems can improve blood sugar control in patients with type 1 diabetes. In these systems the insulin is delivered in response to changing blood sugar levels... Target Identified That May Reduce Complications Of Obesity 4 Feb 2010 at 7:00am Although obesity is a risk factor for diabetes and coronary heart disease worldwide, only some obese individuals go on to develop these metabolic complications, while others are relatively protected. Defining these protective factors could help scientists prevent disease in the wider population... JDRF-Funded Research Advances Potential For Regeneration As A Possible Cure F... 4 Feb 2010 at 7:00am A hormone responsible for the body's stress response is also linked to the growth of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, according to JDRF- funded researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California. The findings are the latest advances to underscore the potential for regeneration as a key component of a possible cure for type 1 diabetes... Major Cause Of Infertility And Obesity Often Missed By Doctors 4 Feb 2010 at 2:00am Gail Donnelly's classmates nicknamed her "Knobby" because she was so skinny all her bones seemed to poke out from under her skin. But when Donnelly turned 27, that once knobby frame disappeared under mysteriously ballooning weight. Her diet hadn't changed, she was still walking several miles a day, but she gained 50 pounds in just six months. Her doctor thought the cause was ovarian cysts... Scientists Map Out Regulatory Regions Of Genome, Hot Spots For Diabetes Genes 3 Feb 2010 at 4:00am Together with colleagues in Barcelona, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have generated a complete map of the areas of the genome that control which genes are "turned on" or "off." The discovery, made in pancreatic islet cells, opens new avenues for understanding the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes and other common illnesses...     HealthBusinessBuilder.com Build your Health Business Fast!
