High blood-sugar levels may harden heart valves

Posted: Published on October 21st, 2014

Rice University bioengineers have found new evidence of a possible link between diabetes and the hardening of heart valves. A Rice lab, in collaboration with the University of Texas (UT) Medical School at Houston, discovered that the interstitial cells that turn raw materials into heart valves need just the right amount of nutrients for proper metabolic function. The surprise was that feeding them too much glucose, a sugar, slowed the cells down. Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood-sugar levels over a long period; a 2006 study of atherosclerosis by University of Washington researchers found a correlation between diabetes and aortic-valve calcification. In the new work by the lab of Jane Grande-Allen of Rices bioengineering department, recently ranked No. 5 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, researchers have directly seen the effect of high blood-sugar levels on heart-valve cell metabolism for the first time. The study appears this month in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. The most significant result of the study is that high glucose concentration can actually be detrimental to the aortic-valve cells and their behavior in interacting with the extracellular matrix, said lead author Peter Kamel, who carried out the … Continue reading

Vitamin D Might Help Kids With Eczema

Posted: Published on October 21st, 2014

FRIDAY, Oct. 17, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Daily vitamin D supplements might help children with eczema that gets worse in the winter, a new study suggests. When eczema, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, flares up in the winter it's known as winter-related atopic dermatitis. Researchers found vitamin D significantly reduced the uncomfortable symptoms associated with this disorder. "While we don't know the exact proportion of patients with atopic dermatitis whose symptoms worsen in the winter, the problem is common," said study leader Dr. Carlos Camargo, of Massachusetts General Hospital's department of emergency medicine. "In this large group of patients, who probably had low levels of vitamin D, taking daily vitamin D supplements -- which are inexpensive, safe and widely available -- proved to be quite helpful," he said in a hospital news release. A common treatment for severe atopic dermatitis is the controlled use of ultraviolet light, which stimulates production of vitamin D in the skin, the study's authors said. In conducting their research, they explored the possibility that vitamin D deficiency -- the so-called sunshine vitamin -- could help explain why the condition often gets worse during winter. The study, conducted with the help of scientists at the Health … Continue reading

Topical BioMedics Announces "Soothe the Skin They're in," a New Program for Children Who Suffer with Eczema

Posted: Published on October 21st, 2014

Rhinebeck, NY (PRWEB) October 20, 2014 Topical BioMedics, Inc., announces its new program to help relieve the discomfort and pain of children who suffer with eczema by sending their parents a free tube of their proprietary topical product, Topricin Junior for Children. Formulated especially for a child's sensitive kin, Topricin Junior is a natural way to help the body heal the skin as it helps relieve itching, redness, pain, and discomfort. The statistics are staggering. According to the National Eczema Association, there are 31.6 million people in the United States who suffer with eczemaand many of them are children. Eczema is the most common skin problem treated by pediatric dermatologists. About 65% of their young patients develop symptoms before age one, and about 90% of them before age five. Adolescents and adults can also develop this condition, and individuals who had eczema as a child may experience reoccurrences later in life. A non-contagious inflammatory skin condition, the term eczema is derived from Greek, meaning "to boil out." The name is appropriate since to ancient medical practitioners the skin may have appeared to be "boiling." Eczema can appear anywhere on the body or in just a few areas. Common symptoms include … Continue reading
