New Theory on ‘Venus’ Figurines
One of world’s earliest examples of art, the enigmatic ‘Venus’ figurines carved some 30,000 years ago, have intrigued and puzzled scientists for nearly two centuries. Now a researcher from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus believes he’s gathered enough evidence to solve the mystery behind these curious totems.
The hand-held depictions of obese or pregnant women, which appear in most art history books, were long seen as symbols of fertility or beauty. But according to Richard Johnson, MD, lead author of the study published today in the journal,
Obesity, the key to understanding the statues lays in climate change and diet.
Water May be an Effective Treatment for Metabolic Syndrome
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that fructose stimulates the release of vasopressin, a hormone linked to obesity and diabetes. They also found that water can suppress the hormone and alleviate these conditions in mice.
“The clinical significance of this work is that it may encourage studies to evaluate whether simple increases in water intake may effectively mitigate obesity and metabolic syndrome,” said the study’s lead author Miguel A. Lanaspa, PhD, an associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine specializing in renal disease and hypertension.

But if rivaroxaban is ’in’, is DAPT ’out’?
The introduction of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in 2010 significantly changed clinical algorithms for prevention of VTE and stroke, as well as management of atrial fibrillation. In this report, which was initially published March 29, 2020, researchers presented findings that support a role for rivaroxaban in revascularization procedures in patients with PAD. BreakingMED is republishing this report as part of its year end clinical review series.
Findings from a trial of more than 6,564 patients undergoing revascularization procedures for peripheral artery disease are likely to change clinical practice, signaling a death knell for dual antiplatelet therapy while boosting the use of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy in these patients.
