Genetic variation increases risk of metabolic side effects in children on s
2012-01-24 17:35:00 Researchers have found a genetic variation predisposing children to six-times greater risk of developing metabolic syndrome when taking second-generation anti-psychotic medications. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The study showed a close association with two conditions in particular: high blood pressure and elevated fasting blood sugar levels, which is a precursor to diabetes. The research is published today in the medical research journal Translational Psychiatry. ?This is the first report of an underlying biological factor predisposing children to complications associated with second-generation anti-psychotic medication use,? says Dr Dina Panagiotopoulos, study co-author, clinician scientist at the Child & Family Research Institute (CFRI), pediatric endocrinologist at BC Children?s Hospital, and assistant professor, Department of Pediatrics, University of British Columbia (UBC). ?It?s concerning because these...

Oil and Gas Services Avoid Geopolitical Risk: John Stephenson
2012-01-17 22:00:00 The Energy Report: 2011 was a pretty exciting year with oil prices all over the map, largely fueled by the European debt crisis. What do you expect are going to be the hot topics affecting energy commodities in 2012? John Stephenson: The spread between Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices, which was a big story in 2011, will continue to play a role. I expect a lot of talk about how WTI has once again resumed its place as the global benchmark. Another big topic, as it always is, will be the continuing geopolitics of oil, be it a possible Arab spring in Saudi Arabia or Iran’s nuclear program and how that impacts the world.

Depression increases risk of dementia in patients with Type 2 diabetes
2011-12-06 03:11:00 Depression in patients with diabetes is associated with a substantively increased risk of development of dementia compared to those with diabetes alone, according to researchers from the University of Washington and Kaiser Permanente. The study, among the first (and largest to date) to examine all-cause dementia in diabetes patients with and without depression, appears on the current online issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry. Patients with type 2 diabetes who also had depression had a doubling in risk of dementia during years 3 to 5 after initial screening, compared to patients with diabetes who did not have depression, said the study?s lead author Wayne Katon, MD, professor and vice chair of the University of Washington department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences. This study was supported by the National Institutes of Health-funded Diabetes & Aging Study, which focuses on the special health problems of older patients with diabetes, and its parent study, Diabet...

How to Get Greater Investment Returns with Less Risk
2011-12-02 02:00:00 As a kid, I was scared to death of roller coasters. I never went on them. But in the summer of 1977, peer pressure changed that. The last day of summer camp featured a trip to Six Flags Over Georgia. After riding just about every ride in the park, my cabin — the Badger Den — had one left to conquer: the HUGE wooden roller coaster named "The Scream Machine." Every member of the Badger Den was wound up and ready to ride. Well… just about every member. I had a dilemma: I was terrified. I was also an 11-year-old in a pack of 11-year-olds.

Depression in Young People Increases Risk of Heart Disease Mortality
2011-11-11 18:36:00 The negative effects of depression in young people on the health of their hearts may be stronger than previously recognized. Depression or a history of suicide attempts in people younger than 40, especially young women, markedly increases their risk for dying from heart disease, results from a nationwide study have revealed. The results are published in the November 2011 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry. ?This is the first study looking at depression as a risk factor for heart disease specifically in young people,? says senior author Viola Vaccarino, MD, PhD, chair of epidemiology at Emory?s Rollins School of Public Health. ?We?re finding that depression is a remarkable risk factor for heart disease in young people. Among women, depression appears to be more important than traditional risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, obesity and diabetes which are not common in young women.?

Depression associated with increased risk of stroke and stroke-related deat
2011-09-20 19:20:00 An analysis of nearly 30 studies including more than 300,000 patients finds that depression is associated with a significantly increased risk of developing stroke and dying from stroke, according to an article in the September 21 issue of JAMA. ?Stroke is a leading cause of death and permanent disability, with significant economic losses due to functional impairments. Depression is highly prevalent in the general population, and it is estimated that 5.8 percent of men and 9.5 percent of women will experience a depressive episode in a 12-month period. The lifetime incidence of depression has been estimated at more than 16 percent in the general population,? according to background information in the article. Whether depression increases the risk of stroke has been unclear.

Employers keep the cash, employees take home the risk
2011-06-21 16:00:00 It seems like there was an era in America where there was a general contract between employers and employees. Employees work hard and dedicate their careers to helping a company earn a profit. In return, employers are loyal to those employees, offering them insurance, workers' comp, and the general expectation of being taken care of in exchange for your work. That contract, if it ever existed, has been severely weakened. Some might even say it's been broken. ARISE Chicago, a collaboration between faith groups and local workers to fight labor injustice, is bringing to light the ways in which employers no longer feel obligated to offer their employees anything except a meager wage... and sometimes, not even that.

Would You Risk the Wrath of the Information Commissioner?
2011-05-10 18:00:00 The Information Commissioner's fining of solicitor Andrew Jonathan Crossley is interesting in several respects and contains an important message for many small businesses. The £1,000 fine was announced by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) today in a press release. Mr Crossley was the owner of the law firm ACS Law, which has recently ceased trading. The firm gained widespread exposure for its aggressive pursuit of those alleged to have infringed copyright through peer-to-peer file sharing activities in recent years. It seems that many of those pursued by the firm were probably innocent and I understand that the only successful prosecutions in this matter were won by default when the defendants failed to appear in court. In September 2010, ACS Law's web site was seriously attacked, causing it to crash. In the subsequent aftermath, a backup file containing emails between ACS Law's employees and other parties appeared on the web site, which allowed anyone ...

Sathya Sai Baba?s Health Condition Again At Grave Risk
2011-04-05 03:35:00 In a matter of days, rosy reports emanating from official Puttaparthi sources about Sai Baba's condition are now shown to be either pipe dreams or deliberate gloss. Of course it is conceivable that his leaders who control the bulletins to the media, government and Sathya Sai Organization etc., are unable to believe that their guru can die very soon. He had long prophesied matters very differently. By a number of usually well-informed sources , we are told that there is a battle royal going on for control of his organization. We learn of serious chicanery among certain Sai Baba family members and others. Alert media, lawfirms and other investigators will need for example - very quickly, before witnesses are hushed up - to get hold of stakeholders who have been disaffected, and also those, including many leaders in India and abroad, who have resigned from the Sathya Sai Organization on a matter of ethical principle.
