Obesity measures are associated with higher risk for 10 cancers Obesity increases the risk of developing 10 of the most common cancers, regardless of how it is measured, according to a study of more than 400,000 adults in the UK, being presented at The European Congress on Obesity (ECO) held online this year, with central fatness (larger waist and hips) and general obesity (body mass index [BMI] and body fat percentage) associated with similar estimates of cancer risk. The results suggest that BMI is an adequate measure of cancer risk from excess weight, and there is no advantage in using mor...

This Puts You at Risk for 10 Cancers, Says New Study Leah Groth © Provided by Eat This, Not That! Overweight woman is working on her laptop on a sofa. Cancer, one of the leading causes of death worldwide, is a disease in which some of the body's cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body, according to the American Cancer Society. There are more than 100 types—some deadlier than others. While there are a number of risk factors that can increase your chance of cancer, there is one that is preventable that can increase your risk of developing one of the ...

New testing technology can accurately differentiate between viral and bacterial infections When patients complain of coughing, runny nose, sneezing and fever, doctors are often stumped because they have no fundamental tool to identify the source of the respiratory symptoms and guide appropriate treatments. That tool might finally be on its way. In a study proving feasibility, researchers at Duke Health showed that their testing technology can accurately distinguish between a viral and a bacterial infection for respiratory illness - a critical difference that determines whether antibiotics are...

New Additive Manufacturing Method Could Allow 3D Printing of Custom Medicine Written by AZoMMay 4 2021 A study by scientists from the University of East Anglia (UEA) analyzed technology to 3D “print” pills and demonstrated that customized medicines could someday be manufactured as per individual requirements of patients. Image Credit: Pavel Kubarkov/Shutterstock.com The research group, which also included Dr Andy Gleadall and Professor Richard Bibb from Loughborough University, has discovered a new additive manufacturing technique to enable the 3D printing of medicine in highly porous st...
