Among whites, there was no association between race consciousness and blood pressure, but race consciousness was associated with poor ratings of adherence.

African Americans with a hypervigilant sense of being black may have an increased risk of hypertension, a cross-sectional analysis found.
Among 266 patients in urban clinics in Baltimore who were surveyed, being a race-conscious black patient was associated with significantly higher diastolic blood pressure (roughly 5 mmHg) and a tendency toward a higher systolic blood pressure (about 4 mmHg) than black patients who were not preoccupied with race.
There was no similar effect on race-conscious whites, reported Lisa A. Cooper, MD, MPH, director of the Johns Hopkins Center to Eliminate Cardiovascular Health Disparities in Baltimore, and colleagues in the American Journal of Hypertension.
The findings suggest that heightened race consciousness could at least in part account for the disproportionately high rate of hypertension in black Americans — the highest prevalence of any group in the U.S. and one of the highest rates in the world, researchers said.

Keep your brain healthy with these foods that can slow down—or perhaps even help prevent—the disease.
Keep Your Brain Healthy
The best thing you can do to keep your brain working the way you want it to: exercise, and eat right. “Nutrition is very, very important to brain health,” says Paul Nussbaum, Ph.D., a clinical neuropsychologist and member of scientific advisory board for the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. “Surprisingly, the brain is made up of 60% fat—it’s the fattest part of our body—and that fat insulates the nerve tracks. Without that fat we slow down mentally,” Dr. Nussbaum says.

Germany has a new holder for the title of “heaviest baby.”
Jasleen was born at University Hospital in Leipzig on July 26, weighing in at 13.47 pounds, and measuring 22.6 inches long — and she was delivered without the help of a C-section, reports the New York Daily News.
The medical term for babies born weighing more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces is “fetal macrosomia,” and heavy babies are often attributed to maternal obesity and diabetes, among other factors. In Jasleen’s case, doctors said her size is due to an undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes, reports the German paper Der Spiegel, which adds that both baby and Mom are doing well, though Jasleen remains in the hospital.
Until Jasleen’s birth last week the title of Germany’s “heaviest” or “largest” baby belonged to one named Jihad, who was born in November 2011 and weighed in at 13 pounds.

Almost everybody knows somebody that has developed dementia. The progressive loss of cognition and function can have devastating effects on the individual and their family and loved ones. Furthermore, patients with dementia can develop personality and behavior changes that can significantly strain the function and stability of their personal relationships.
Currently there are no known ways to prevent dementia. Our inability to prevent dementia is partially due to an incomplete understanding of what causes many of the most common forms of dementia, such as Alzheimers disease.
In the absence of clear treatment strategies to prevent dementia, a plausible next option is to try to treat or prevent risk factors known to cause it.

By T. Jared Bunch, MD
As a practicing electrophysiologist, or heart rhythm specialist, I see daily the effects of heart rhythm disorders. Unfortunately, electrical problems of the heart are common and are on the rise in our community. They can present with symptoms that vary broadly from palpitations to sudden death. The most common heart rhythm problems are often the results of risk factors that we can control or treat such as obesity, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, inactivity, diabetes, and smoking. These and other risk factors can injure the heart from events such as a heart attack or narrowing of the coronary arteries. All degrees of injury in turn result in stiffening or weakening of the heart’s pumping chambers (ventricles) and enlargement of the small upper chambers of the heart (atrium). These injuries in all chambers of the heart leave scar and fibrosis and can cause disruptions to the normal electrical conduction of the heart and electrical disorders develop.

HLN reports new research by Brown University professors shows bacteria associated with gum disease is also linked to pancreatic cancer and flossing could prevent both. The findings were posted online July 10 in the journal Carcinogenesis and originally reported by LiveScience. Newser explains some of the theories of how that bacteria could lead to cancer: “The bacteria may cause body-wide inflammation, weaken the body’s immune system, or directly activate pancreatic tumor signaling pathways.”

Orange peel syndrome. Cottage cheese thighs. Hail damage. There are a lot of pet names for cellulite, each of them unappetizing enough to make us not want to talk about the phenomenon at all. That Photoshop magically smoothes the skin of every woman professionally photographed, well, that means as a society, we don’t have to look at it either. But, amidst all this if-you-ignore-it, it-will-cease-to-exist mindset, lie many myths about who gets cellulite and why – and an estimated $62 million industry that makes devices to banish it.
Do any of these devices work? Is cellulite the deserved curse of those who gain a bit of weight?
