Eating lots of sugar and sugar-sweetened foods could increase a person's likelihood of developing cancer of the pancreas, by far one of the deadliest types of cancer, Swedish researchers report. Dr. Susanna C. Larsson of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and her colleagues found that pancreatic cancer was significantly more likely to strike men and women who added the most sugar to their food and consumed the greatest quantities of soft drinks.

The government believes Fidel Castro's health is deteriorating and that the Cuban dictator is unlikely to live through 2007. That dire view was reinforced last week when Cuba's foreign minister backed away from his prediction the ailing Castro would return to power by early December. "It's a subject on which I don't want to speculate," Felipe Perez Roque told The Associated Press in Havana. U.S. government officials say there is still some mystery about Castro's diagnosis, his treatment and how he is responding. But these officials believe the 80-year-old leader has cancer of the stomach, colon or pancreas.

Probeer anders eens Carnibest!! Rauw vlees voeren doet wonderen bij katten met darmproblemen.. Vraag anders of je zymoral kunt krijgen om te geven aan hem. Dit is een middel wat een enzym bevat wat katten met pancreas insufficiëntie niet aanmaken en die daardoor veel ontlastingsproblemen hebben.

Now Sweet Peet is Fighting With Karl Brauer
Meer over: Now Sweet Peet is Fighting With Karl Brauer|2006-11-04 07:48:41
A couple of days ago, His Magnificent Sweetness took Karl Brauer of Edmunds to task over the site's "Most Wanted" vehicles list only including two slabs of Detroit iron. Peter's rationale? "[I]s it any wonder that the new go-to guy for auto-biz quotage for that beacon of anti-Detroit objectivity, The New York Times, happens to be none other than Karl Brauer, editor in chief of Edmunds.com?" And while I have heard people talk smack about Karl and his industry connections, I've gotta give the win to Karl's response in this matter. Click through for Brauer's smackdown of Peter and a bit of analysis."Interesting that Peter questions my bias when he's paid directly by the Detroit Three. Oh, this isn't a controversial statement by any means, as he totally admits to being on their bankroll in this BusinessWeek article. I think it's refreshing that Pete wants to be upfront about working for Detroit's automakers, as it's important for readers to know that you're paid by the people you also report on." This is a dirty business we're in. There're a lot of good guys in the auto industry, people who are simply trying to earn a living and indulge their passion for automobiles -- on both the manufacturer and journalistic ends of the spectrum. And plenty of journalists turn into corporate whores without even realizing it. It also colors a review when you've gone on a junket. I happen to like Toyota's FJ Cruiser very much. Does the fact that Toyota treated me like a king in Birmingham, Alabama have anything to do with that? No, it does not. Toyota's got savvy PR people, for sure. But I did point out as many of the utelet's shortcomings as I could find, and it had a few. Regardless, the fact that I liked the truck so much troubled me, because I wanted to be taken seriously, and not look like I was huffing corporate dong. So then, Johnson, why don't you simply pay your own way for these things? Budget, basically. The best I can do is disclose what Toyota set me up with. I really like Mickey Kaus' idea of renting any car you review. But where are you going to find an Audi RS4 in a rental fleet? If you truly want access, you have to go to the manufacturers. And even a company as large as Edmunds (Brauer has 13 colleagues voting with him on the awards; in contrast, we have Spinelli, myself, Wert and sometimes Loverman, Austin and Uncle Bumbeck) is still going to take the free lunch. Corporate protocol demands it. The manufacturer gets ink, thus justifying its PR outlay, and the bean-counters at the publication see a cheap-as-free way to generate content and hopefully ad dollars, even if they're not necessarily telling the journos what to scribble. Broke-dick writers get a chance to experience things that they could otherwise never afford to do. Everyone wins, right? Right. Everyone wins but the consumer and the reader. Peter calls bias on magazines because he's an ad guy. He may be tired of the ad biz (and as somebody who worked in advertising on-and-off for the better part of a decade, I can relate), but in some sense, he'll always be an ad guy. Karl calls Peter on bias because he's a journalist. Both men, however, love their cars. But their petty little war seems pretty self-absorbed to me. Peter obviously hit Karl where he lived, given the length of his response. And frankly, as much as I hate the New York Times (sorry, Ray), being quoted in it is a pretty silly excuse for having somebody call you anti-Detroit, just because people you work with think Detroit is building a lot of subpar cars. It looks as if Peter's got his tinfoil hat on. At the same time, Brauer's response is kind of candy-assed, somewhat "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?" and nebulously disingenous. Besides. Dude freaking bought a modern-day Malibu after describing it as "relatively trouble-free". I may drive a Durango, but Christ -- that's a credibility-blower if there ever was one. I have a few PR-type rules that were learned the hard way over the years, and I can't honestly tell you where they've gotten me. 1. When you're blatantly wrong, concede and apologize. 2. When your assailant is half-right, either ignore him (because it will probably go away) or concede the half that's wrong and hit him back. 3. If the man with the club is entirely wrong, deliver a withering, highly-precise attack that leaves him sans scrotum, pancreas and intestines. In the heat of battle, sure, these things can get muddled. And while Karl won this round, in my opinion, both he and Peet made themselves look like children. But when the red mist clears, learn from it. And finally, if you're so desperately worried about your cred, stop sucking corporate teat altogether. Otherwise, you're always going to be somewhat suspect. And that goes for me, too. [Thanks to Mike on the tipoff to Karl's rant.] – Davey G.

FDA Approves New Drug for Type 2 Diabetes

Neopallium writes to tell us that the FDA has approved the first of a new kind of treatment for type 2 diabetes. From the article: "JANUVIA belongs to a new breakthrough class of prescription medications called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors that improves blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes. JANUVIA enhances a natural body system called the incretin system, which helps to regulate glucose by affecting the beta cells and alpha cells in the pancreas. Through DPP-4 inhibition, JANUVIA works only when blood sugar is elevated to address diminished insulin due to beta-cell dysfunction and uncontrolled production of glucose by the liver due to alpha-cell and beta-cell dysfunction."

Insulin cell transplant helps control diabetes

An international study confirms that transplantation of insulin-producing pancreas cells, called islets, can help stabilize blood sugar levels in people who have hard-to-control type 1 diabetes. However, the transplanted islet cells gradually lose their ability to produce insulin, the researchers report. The first successful islet transplantations were performed on seven patients in 2000 by a team led by Dr. A. M. James Shapiro.

In a large-scale test, transplanted pancreas cells eliminated the need for insulin in some diabetes patients, but for many the benefit was short-lived. In many cases where the treatment was initially successful, too many transplanted cells eventually stopped working. The authors of the study, published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, said refining their methods should improve the success rate.

A large study of Japanese adults found those with diabetes were more likely to develop cancer, especially of certain organs such as the pancreas and liver, researchers said on Monday. Men with diabetes in the study of nearly 98,000 people were 27 percent more likely than non-diabetics to be diagnosed with cancer, the study by the National Cancer Center in Tokyo found. Women afflicted with diabetes were also more at risk for cancer, though the association was not as clear as with men.

BRUSSEL - Dikke mensen hebben een hogere kans op galstenen en maken daardoor meer kans op een ontsteking van de pancreas (alvleesklier). Dat stelt een team van specialisten van het Academisch Ziekenhuis van de Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Zij deden onderzoek naar de relatie tussen overgewicht en een ongunstig verlopende pancreasontsteking. Uit het onderzoek bleek dat patiënten met overgewicht een meer dan drie maal hogere kans hadden op een pancreasontsteking met ernstige complicaties.

Although he has HIV, living with the virus that causes AIDS is not Nikk Bowden's major concern. He is lucky enough to have the drugs that have turned HIV/AIDS from a death sentence into a treatable illness, and like many in his position what now worries him most are the long-term toxic effects of the medications he takes. Muscle pain and wasting, liver and pancreas problems, diabetes, fat redistribution and nerve damage are side effects that can occur after years of use.

If scientists are able to repeat this success in humans, stem cells could eventually be used to help paralyzed patients walk again, even in cases where spinal cords are severed by motorcycle accidents, sports injuries or war wounds. Kerr's experiment gives hope to a broad range of therapies for the rebuilding of kneecaps, brain cells, and even the pancreas in diabetics.
