Coast woman turns to BHRT to feel and look better

Posted: Published on October 1st, 2014

GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) - There's no way to escape getting older; but more men and women are turning to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to help them feel and look better as they age. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy or BHRT replaces hormones that you lose as you age. And while it's still considered controversial by some more people say they are discovering the benefits; and feeling happier and more energized. Robyn Turner, 49, of Biloxi says when she entered her40s her life changed; and not in a good way. But she says BHRT has given her back her life. "Within two months I felt like a completely different person. It changed my life," Turner said. She started on BHRT about a year ago after enduring several years of not feeling right; she was lacking energy, motivation, and worst of all she was feeling depressed. "I think for women, who feel like something isn't right, it's really important to be proactive," she said. Even though Robyn is a pharmacist with healthcare connections, she says she had trouble finding help, because doctors kept telling her she was normal. "The sad part is how many years I spent suffering when I didn't need to," … Continue reading →

Genetic Analysis Fails To Support Vitamin D To Prevent Diabetes

Posted: Published on October 1st, 2014

A vitamin D pill cant substitute for a healthy diet and sunshine,a new genetic study published inThe Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinologysuggests.In recent years many people have been seduced by observational studies that found low levels of vitamin D in people who developed type 2 diabetes. The new study instead suggests that the association is not causal, and that raising vitamin D by itself will not be helpful. Researchers in the U.K. performed a Mendelian Randomization study in more than 100,000 peoplein which they examined the effect of four separate, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on genes that have a known effect on vitamin D levels. Despite the significant effect of these genetic variations on circulating levels of vitamin D (25(OH)D), the researchers found no relationship between genetically determined levels of vitamin D and the risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Added to previous evidence, write the authors, the results suggest that interventions to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by increasing concentrations of 25(OH)D are not currently justified. Instead, they write, our findings emphasize the need for investigation of the discrepancy between the observational evidence and the absence of causal evidence. Two possible confounders are physical activity and adiposity, they add. … Continue reading →

Pitt team searches for genetic roots of cleft lip, palate

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 30-Sep-2014 Contact: Anita Srikameswaran SrikamAV@upmc.edu 412-578-9193 University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences @UPMCnews Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine have been awarded a $11.8 million, five-year grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the National Institutes of Health, to continue their exploration of the genetic roots of cleft lip and cleft palate and to expand the effort to include populations in Colombia, Nigeria, the Philippines and Pennsylvania. Orofacial clefts (OFCs), which are small gaps in the lip or palate that can form when a baby's mouth doesn't develop properly during pregnancy, occurs in 1 out of 700 live births worldwide, said Mary L. Marazita, Ph.D., professor and vice chair, Department of Oral Biology, and director of the Center for Craniofacial and Dental Genetics (CCDG). "Orofacial clefts present a significant public health challenge as these patients typically require surgical, nutritional, dental, speech and behavioral treatments for years," Dr. Marazita said. "We hope to build on the progress we've made in our previous studies by identifying genetic susceptibility not only for the overt defects, but also for more subtle features such as changes in facial structure that we … Continue reading →

Synthetic sperm protein raises the chance for successful in vitro fertilization

Posted: Published on September 30th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 30-Sep-2014 Contact: Cody Mooneyhan cmooneyhan@faseb.org 301-634-7104 Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology @fasebopa Having trouble getting pregnanteven with IVF? Here's some hope: A new research report published in October 2014 issue of The FASEB Journal, explains how scientists developed a synthetic version of a sperm-originated protein known as PAWP, which induced embryo development in human and mouse eggs similar to the natural triggering of embryo development by the sperm cell during fertilization. "We believe that the results of this study represent a major paradigm shift in our understanding of human fertilization by providing a precise answer to a fundamental unresolved scientific question in developmental biology," said Mahmoud Aarabi, M.D., Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the Department of Human Genetics at Montreal Children's Hospital Research Institute in Montreal, Canada. "Based on our findings, we envision that physicians will be able to improve their diagnosis and treatment of infertility, a problem that affects 10-15 percent of couples worldwide, and scientists will be able to finally resolve the signalling pathway leading to initiation of embryonic development in mammals." To make their advance, Aarabi and colleagues injected transcripts coding for PAWP protein into human eggs, and the … Continue reading →
