Mood disorder drugs may triple kids’ diabetes risk

The researchers warned the risk was seen even in younger children studied. “Risk was elevated during the first year of antipsychotic use, increased with increasing cumulative dose, and was present for children younger than 18 years of age,” wrote the researchers in the study, published Aug 22 in J AMA Psychiatry . Previous studies have linked this drug class and diabetes risk in adults on the medications, but the researchers wanted to see if the same held true in kids. The new study involved more than 29,000 young people between ages 6 and 24 who were prescribed the drugs for attention, behavioral and mood disorders. They were compared to more than 14,400 children who were taking other mental health medications including mood stabilizers (lithium), antidepressants, stimulant medications and benzodiazepines. They were tracked for 12 years. Of all subjects, the researchers found 106 young people were diagnosed with and treated for Type 2 diabetes.

What to do about a snoring spouse

There are ways to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

adults say their partner snores. Aeparate study conducted in the UK found that the average married person loses about 730 hours of sleep each year because their spouse snores or moves around. And in yet another survey that shows what people are doing about it, 30 to 40% of couples choose to sleep in different beds. “People will say they sleep better [together], but when we actually monitor their brains we see that their brain is not getting into deeper stages of sleep because they’re continuously being woken up by movement or sound,” said Dr. Colleen Carney, director of Ryerson’s Sleep and Depression Laboratory , in a published interview. “It creates a lot of problems.” Lot of problems In addition, Carney says couples shouldn’t feel their relationship will suffer because they sleep in separate beds.

Boring Snoring: Braves 3, Phillies 1

Other treatments include oral appliance therapy, which works by pulling the jaw and tongue forward to allow improved airflow. Surgery by itself is generally most successful as a curative measure for patients with relatively mild OSAS, and may include removal of the tonsils with or without the adenoid, and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty to shorten the soft palate and widen the oral pharynx. Nasal surgery may also be recommended to serve as an adjunct to these procedures or to lower the upper airway ‘s resistance to airflow, allowing CPAP to be applied at a lower and more tolerable pressure.This can sometimes be the difference between success and failure in the treatment of a patient with severe OSAS. In pediatric patients with OSAS, symptoms can include loud snoring with or without witnessed gasping or obstructions, but patients may first present with the new onset of parasomnias such as bedwetting, night terrors or sleepwalking. In contrast to adults with OSAS, pediatric OSAS is generally due to obstruction by severely enlarged tonsils and adenoid tissue. In the absence of obesity and neuromuscular issues, removal of the tonsils and adenoid is generally curative.

So the statement that breastfeeding longer seems to protect kids from persistent snoring does not hold water. In fact, he has been the sickest of our 3 boys by far. We have a 7yr old, and the one I am referring to is almost 5, the other one is 3. The older and younger boys have been hospitalized once each. Our middle son (the breastfeeder) has been hospitalized 11 times.

Food folly: Nutrition problems

It’s easy to identify manufactured foods that lead to quick and steady weight gain, right? Soft drinks, certainly. Any food with a lot of sugar is easily stored by the body as excess fat. But what about some of these foods long held as healthy, or at least a healthier option: * Wheat is something your body can live without, says Dr. William Davis in his 2011 book, Wheat Belly. Ancient wheat may have been OK, but today’s wheat has been so hybridized during the last 50 years that human bodies have not had a chance to adapt to it, and that’s before you get to questions of genetically modified crops.

Getting children the nutrition they need

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the healthcare team said: “Vendors are leveraging their widespread distribution networks to increase their customer base. They are increasingly relying on online marketing and promotional activities to increase sales and brand equity. Through online marketing and promotional activities, more and more consumers are becoming aware of the positive health and nutrition benefits of probiotic products. Furthermore, online availability of medical nutrition products not only provides customers with easy access, but also helps vendors reduce their set-up, distribution, and operational costs. Thus, the increase in promotional activities by vendors is seen to have a positive impact on the global medical nutrition market.” The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market.

Canned oranges and chocolate milk. Its hardly a feast, but dont tell that to the children for whom this meal makes all the difference. The experience of a food bank running a summer lunch program for needy children in rural Tennessee shows that more ways must be found to feed the millions of children who go hungry when schools let out. The Posts Eli Saslow recently told the story of a converted school bus that travels the hills of Appalachia in Tennessee to take food to needy children. It was a heart-rending portrait, made all the more poignant by the fact that the need it depicted exists in every part of the United States. A recent study by the nonprofit Feeding America ranked the District second in the nation for child food insecurity, defined as not having access at all times to enough food for healthy living. The group estimates that one in four children in the nation experiences food insecurity.
