Pilot program study finds that pediatric obesity patients like telehealth services

For youth dealing with obesity who need extra help losing weight, experts suggest a multidisciplinary approach in which care is provided by several health specialists. However, the logistics of traveling to multiple appointments, even if just across town, can be a barrier to receiving care, especially for low-income families.

UCLA researchers who work with this patient population set up a pilot program using telehealth technology — a secure system that allowed patients to see and speak with their health care providers at UCLA over a computer from their local health clinic — to evaluate if such a system could be an effective strategy to help overcome these issues.

HIV plus HPV leads to increased anal cancer risk in men

Human papillomavirus, or HPV, which can cause cervical cancer in women, is also known to cause anal cancer in both women and men. Now, a study led by researchers at the UCLA School of Nursing has found that older HIV-positive men who have sex with men are at higher risk of becoming infected with the HPVs that most often cause anal cancer.

The researchers also report that smoking increases the risk of infection with specific types of HPV among both HIV-infected and uninfected older men by up to 20 percent. This is the first large U.S. study of a group of HIV-infected and uninfected men between the ages of 40 and 69 who have sex with men. Study participants were examined twice a year for up to 25 years.

Ob China, Arktis oder Südafrika – und vermutlich auch bei Ihnen zu Hause: PFC-Chemikalien lassen sich weltweit nachweisen. Sie gelangen in Hausstaub, Trinkwasser und Blut, weil sie in großen Mengen in der Textilproduktion eingesetzt werden. Greenpeace wollte wissen, wie viel davon in unserer Outdoor-Kleidung steckt und hat Jacken und Handschuhe ins Labor geschickt.

In allen 17 Produkten wiesen zwei unabhängige Labore per- und polyfluorierte Chemikalien (PFC) und andere Schadstoffe nach. An neun der 17 Proben hat Greenpeace erstmals testen lassen, ob die Giftstoffe aus den Textilien auch an die Luft abgegeben werden. Auch das ist der Fall. (more…)
