Children's Health & Fitness ? A Reseacher Weighs In On Childhood ...
June 26th, 2012 by Len Saunders
From The Royal Gazzette?..
The most important tools in combating childhood obesity?
Positive school attitudes and a physical education programme are vital, according to American researcher Margaret Demment.
The doctoral student at Cornell University will speak on childhood obesity this week, part of a lecture organised by the Bermuda Diabetes Association.
?I came into the nutrition programme at Cornell interested in the influences of food on the health of individual communities and families,? said Ms Demment, whose dissertation focuses on obese and overweight children in rural and urban New York.
?I was looking at the broad spectrum. The more I observed the more I learned how important an issue obesity is for [the United States]. I became specifically interested in preventing obesity in childhood.?
Research showed trends suggested a strong correlation between a family?s socioeconomic status and childhood obesity, particularly minority children, she said.
?What I wanted to look at was how changes in low income over a child?s lifetime impacted their risk of obesity. I wanted to look at children who were downwardly mobile.?
The researcher found children whose parents had lost jobs or divorced were at a greater risk of obesity than they had been before crisis hit the family.
?There is still a lot of research that can be done to look at connections between low income and overweight and obesity,? she said. ?It could be that parents are more stressed for time and resources. It could be that the easier and cheaper food options tend to have a lower nutrient quality and are more calorie-dense.?

Video: Flying robot swarm wows at Cannes
15 min.
The performance of a flying robot swarm at a creativity festival in France has echoes of the highly-coordinated human theatrics that kicked off the summer Olympics four years ago in Beijing.?
The difference here, of course, is that real-life robots, not humans, are the performers.
The robots are quadrotors ? helicopters with four rotors. Their coordinated performance, which gets increasingly complex and mesmerizing as the show goes on, was choreographed by KMel Robotics and Marshmallow Laser Feast.
The most recent performance was the opening ceremony for the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors? Showcase at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.KMel Robotics was founded in late 2011 by Alex Kushleyev and Daniel Mellinger, recent graduates of the University of Pennsylvania?s GRASP Lab.?
The duo is also responsible for this video showing nine quadrotors playing the James Bond theme.?
While KMel Robotics promises more information on this project soon, we can surmise a bit more on how they pulled off the performance with a look back at the James Bond playing stunt. Innovation Daily reported:?
The secrets to their smooth, graceful movement are their small size, four rotors and smart on-board processor. By moving each rotor at different speeds, the bots can tilt and turn. Their processors decide the swiftest, smoothest path from Point A to Point B, then send out commands to the rotors 600 times a second.
In a swarm, the robots can also monitor where they are compared to their neighbors. It's important that each robot does this by itself, as it would be too difficult to have one central computer controlling each robot as it flies.
When not showing off their artsy side, the machines could find work scoping out dangerous settings such as buildings after an earthquake or a radiation leak.?
We?ve also seen a quadrotor that keep people motivated on their daily runs. Maybe there?s an idea in there for the opening ceremony for the summer Olympics this July in London??

Experimental drug helps diabetes patients lose weight
ScienceDaily (June 25, 2012) ? An experimental drug helped significantly more overweight patients with diabetes shed pounds, compared with placebo, a new study finds. The results were presented June 23 at The Endocrine Society's 94th Annual Meeting in Houston.
"This new medication is promising because of the amount of weight loss it produces, the resultant improvement in important risk factors for diabetes, and, particularly in the lower dose studied, in its tolerability," said study lead author Donna H. Ryan, M.D., professor emeritus at Pennington Biomedical Research Center (LSU System) in Baton Rouge, LA.
Diabetes treatment involves weight management and medications to control blood-sugar levels and risk factors. If left untreated, diabetes can increase the danger of developing heart and blood-vessel diseases. Since one of the main risk factors for all of these diseases is obesity, weight loss is important to both prevention and treatment.
Focusing on type 2 diabetes, investigators found that patients who took the experimental weight-loss drug phentermine/topiramate, combined with diet and exercise modifications, were more likely to lose moderate amounts of weight than those who received a sugar-pill placebo and the diet and exercise intervention.
The percentage of study participants losing more than 10 percent of their initial weight while decreasing their blood pressure and hemoglobin A1c, was:
? 14 percent on low-dose phentermine/topiramate
? 31 percent on high-dose phentermine/topiramate
? 4 percent on placebo
Phentermine/topiramate is a combined medication that works by decreasing appetite. The main side effects associated with the drug were constipation and tingling sensations in the fingers. Patients who took phentermine/topiramate were also more likely to develop low blood sugar than those who received placebo.
This study was an analysis of diabetic patients who enrolled in weight-loss studies testing medications given with lifestyle intervention. Investigators randomly assigned 357 patients with type 2 diabetes to receive either low-dose phentermine/topiramate (7.5 milligrams), high-dose phentermine/topiramate (15 milligrams), or placebo. Neither investigators nor patients knew who was receiving the drug versus placebo in the double-blinded study. Participants' average age was 53 years, 66 percent were female, most were white, and their average weight was 222 pounds. Follow-up was one year.
VIVUS, the company that developed phentermine/topiramate, funded the study.

Jury: Ex-detective was sane during California rape
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (AP) ? A California jury on Tuesday found that a former police detective who blamed the antidepressant Zoloft for his behavior was sane when he abducted and raped a waitress at gunpoint.
Jurors delivered their findings in the case of 32-year-old Anthony Nicholas Orban in San Bernardino County Superior Court, according to the district attorney's office.
Jurors previously convicted the former Westminster police detective of raping a waitress in a brutal attack that began outside a mall in 2010.
Prosecutors say the off-duty officer used his service weapon to force the woman to drive to a self-storage lot, where he sexually assaulted her and shoved a gun in her mouth. The woman escaped when Orban was distracted by an incoming cellphone call, prosecutors said.
Orban's attorney had argued that his client could not be held responsible for his actions because he was taking the antidepressant Zoloft, which had rendered him effectively unconscious at the time of the attack.
Orban, who served in the Marines in Iraq, had pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity to eight counts, including kidnapping and rape. He will now be scheduled to appear before a judge for a sentencing hearing, and could face a life sentence.
