Does Your Baby’s Bottle Make Her Thighs Look Fat?

Some Parents May Get the Wrong Idea From New Research

Opinion by KEITH-THOMAS AYOOB

A study just published in the respected journal Pediatrics suggested that when babies gain a lot of weight in their first six months, they would be obese at 3 years old.

Just Published Study Suggests Babies Who Gained Weight During The First Six Months Can Be Predicted TO Be Obese at 3 Years Of Age.

While excess weight can be a problem in some babies, perdiatric nutritionists say parents should not put these infants on diets.

For so long, the main nutrition concern regarding infants has been that they obtain enough nutrients and calories to support good growth and development. Well, America got the memo, at least about the calories.

Now there’s an epidemic of obesity, and it seems to appear earlier and earlier in life. This study found that 7.5 percent of 3-year-olds were obese. That’s about one in 13 toddlers, and that’s 50 percent more than the one in 20 you’d otherwise expect. Of course, there really shouldn’t be any obese 3-year-olds.

The cause: Nature? Nurture? Not enough recess?

OK, disregard the recess comment. Actually, this study didn’t look at reasons for the obesity, only that it happened.

The researchers do pose some possible explanations, however, and I can concur, based on 25 years of clinical practice with parents and children:Read more…

Australian Firms Begin First Tests of Swine Flu Vaccine

Country Takes Action in Face of 15,000 Cases of New H1N1 Virus and 41 Deaths

Two biotechnology companies in Australia have begun the first human trials of a vaccine for the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) virus.

Adelaide-based Vaxine Pty Ltd and Melbourne-based CSL Biotherapies injected the first adult volunteers this week in separate trials starting days apart.

Now in its winter flu season, Australia has reported about 15,000 confirmed cases of the new H1N1 virus and 41 deaths. That has made Australian health officials and drug manufacturers anxious to get a vaccination program under way as soon as possible.

“The demand [for a vaccine] was here yesterday,” Nikolai Petrovsky, Vaxine chairman and research director, told the Associated Press.

Vaccine trials are expected to begin shortly in the United States as well. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee will meet tomorrow to discuss clinical trials of an H1N1 vaccine and vaccine approval. Read more…

Mother’s Health Before Conception May Influence Child’s Disease Risk

Women Hoping to Be Moms Should Watch Their Diet

A mother’s health and diet just before conception and during the first few days of fetal development could have an impact on a child’s health in the long run, researchers say.

Researchers found that the effects of nutrition, such as a high-fat diet and vitamin B and folate deficiencies, as well as diseases such as diabetes, during this time could trigger epigenetic changes that manifest in offspring as obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. Collapse

New evidence on this crucial window of time — much of it from animal studies — was presented at this year’s meeting of the Society for the Study of Reproduction in Pittsburgh.

Researchers found that the effects of nutrition, such as a high-fat diet and vitamin B and folate deficiencies, as well as diseases such as diabetes, during this time could trigger epigenetic changes that manifest in offspring as obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. “All of our work suggests there should be a three- to four-month preconception period that’s included in good maternal health,” said Dr. Kelle Moley of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who presented one of the studies.

Half a brain girl recovers vision

Eye

The brain processes visual information from the eye
BBC News

Scientists say they have solved the mystery of how a girl with half a brain has near perfect vision in one eye.

The experts were baffled by the 10-year-old girl who was born missing the right side of her brain, whose job it is to map the left field of vision.

Scans revealed the German girl’s brain rewired itself during development when she was still in her mother’s womb.

The University of Glasgow researchers report the findings in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The girl’s underdeveloped brain was discovered when, aged three, she underwent an MRI scan after suffering seizures of brief involuntary twitching on her left side.

Apart from the seizures, which were successfully treated, and slight weakness on her left side, the girl has had a normal medical history, attending school and taking part in regular activities.

In other cases, where patients have half of the brain removed to treat severe epilepsy, for example, one field of vision is lost in both eyes, meaning they see only objects on the left or right side of their vision. Read more…
