No Trace of HIV After Stem-Cell Transplants, Researchers Say

2013-10-12T20:16:00.000-07:00

Two more patients undergo 'sterilizing cure,' advancing understanding of the process

By Dennis Thompson

HealthDay Reporter

WEDNESDAY, July 2 (HealthDay News) -- Two HIV-positive patients show no trace of virus after receiving chemotherapy and stem-cell transplants as treatment for lymphoma, according to new research.

These patients have become the second and third known cases of a "sterilizing cure," in which medical treatment removes all traces of HIV -- the virus that causes AIDS -- from the body. They have remained virus-free even though doctors months ago took them off their HIV-targeted medications.

"We have been unable to detect virus in either the blood cells or the plasma of these patients," said lead researcher Dr. Timothy Henrich, of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "We also biopsied gut tissue from one of our patients, and we were unable to detect HIV in the cells of the gut. Essentially, we do not have any evidence of viral rebound."

The findings are scheduled for presentation Wednesday at the International AIDS Society Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The patients had been receiving long-term antiretroviral therapy for HIV when they developed lymphoma, a type of blood cancer involving white blood cells, Henrich said.

Both underwent chemotherapy followed by bone marrow transplants to cure their lymphoma. Afterward, Henrich could not detect any HIV infection in their bodies.

Henrich presented preliminary findings on the research at the International AIDS Conference last July. Since then, he and his research team withdrew the patients' antiretroviral therapy to see how completely the cancer treatment had rid them of HIV. One patient has been off treatment with no detectable virus for about 15 weeks, and the second patient for seven weeks.

Henrich warned that it is too soon to declare the patients completely cured of HIV. "Although we cannot detect HIV, it's possible it's there but in extremely low amounts," he said. "We're going to watch and wait, and see where it goes with these patients."

Unfortunately, this type of cure is not something that can be put into widespread practice for all people infected with HIV. "Transplantation is not a scalable, affordable or even safe treatment for HIV patients," Henrich said.

The so-called "Berlin patient," Timothy Brown, is the first documented case of a sterilizing cure for HIV. An American man living in Germany who received a bone marrow transplant for leukemia, Brown has remained HIV-free even after discontinuing his antiretroviral drug therapy. The transplanted bone marrow cells came from a donor who had a rare genetic mutation that increases immunity against the most common form of HIV, and researchers believe that helped protect Brown from re-infection.

In Mississippi, a baby born with HIV nearly three years ago is the first case of a "functional cure," in which early treatment eradicates the virus. Immediate treatment with antiretroviral medications rid the child of all traces of HIV within the first month of life, and she has remained virus-free even after discontinuing drug therapy at 18 months of age.

Obama Administration Delays Key Piece of Health-Reform Law

2013-10-12T16:55:00.000-07:00

Employers with more than 50 workers now have until 2015 to provide health insurance coverage

By Karen Pallarito

HealthDay Reporter

WEDNESDAY, July 3 (HealthDay News) -- In a surprise announcement, the Obama administration said Tuesday evening that it was delaying implementation of a key part of its landmark health-reform law -- the requirement that employers with more than 50 workers offer insurance coverage by Jan. 1, 2014 or face fines.

The new deadline for providing such coverage is now Jan. 1, 2015, administration officials announced on blog postings.

Administration officials said the delay was prompted by concerns from business leaders that the reporting system needed to carry out the coverage mandate was complex and made it difficult to meet the Jan. 1, 2014 deadline.

"We have heard concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively. We recognize that the vast majority of businesses that will need to do this reporting already provide health insurance to their workers, and we want to make sure it is easy for others to do so," Mark Mazur, assistant secretary for tax policy at the Treasury Department, wrote in a blog posting.

Business groups had complained that the employee coverage provision was too complicated and welcomed the delay in its implementation.

There was no advance indication of the Obama administration's decision, which came as a "pleasant surprise," Randy Johnson, senior vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, told the Associated Press.

Neil Trautwein, a vice president of the National Retail Federation, said, "We commend the administration's wise move. It will provide employers and businesses more time to update their health care coverage without threat of arbitrary punishment."

Under the provision, companies with 50 or more workers must provide affordable coverage to all full-time employees or face the risk of escalating tax penalties. The requirement was expected to have the largest impact on major chain hotels, restaurants and retail stores, the AP said.

Some companies with payrolls near the 50-worker cutoff point said they would consider eliminating jobs or switching some full-time workers to part-time status to avoid having to offer insurance coverage, The New York Times reported.

Several observers speculated that the delay could threaten the ultimate goal of the 2010 Affordable Care Act -- to offer insurance coverage to an estimated 30 million Americans who currently don't have it.

"I am utterly astounded," Sara Rosenbaum, a professor of health law and policy at George Washington University and a supporter of the law, told the Times. "It boggles the mind. This step could significantly reduce the number of uninsured people who will gain coverage in 2014."

The hospital industry deemed the announcement "troubling" for people who will not get job-based coverage next year. "The goal of the ACA [Affordable Care Act] was to extend coverage to the uninsured, which required a shared responsibility from all stakeholders," Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association, said in a statement. "We are concerned that the delay further erodes the coverage that was envisioned as part of the ACA," he said.

Can age-related heart failure be reversed?

2013-10-12T03:55:00.000-07:00

Posted July 04, 2013, 2:00 am

My husband has congestive heart failure. The doctor says it is caused by his age, and that there is no treatment. I read about a new discovery that age-related heart failure can be reversed in mice. Could that help my husband?

There are different kinds of congestive heart failure, and there are effective treatments for many. Your husband may have a common kind called age-related diastolic dysfunction. There is no specific treatment that prevents or reverses this condition. But you are right that a remarkable treatment was recently reported for a similar condition in mice.

Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump efficiently enough to meet the body’s need for blood. In a young, healthy heart, when blood enters the main pumping chambers (the ventricles), their walls stretch and the chambers expand to receive all the blood.

In age-related diastolic dysfunction, the heart muscle becomes thicker and stiffer. As a result, when blood enters the heart, the heart muscle can’t stretch enough to accept all the blood. The blood backs up into the lungs, causing breathing difficulty. Blood also backs up into the rest of the body, causing fatigue and swelling — particularly of the legs and feet.

We don’t know what causes age-related heart failure in humans, and because of that, we don’t know how to prevent or reverse it. A similar condition occurs in mice, and we may now have figured out how to treat it.

A group of my colleagues at Harvard Medical School conducted the research in mice that you read about. They were led by Dr. Richard Lee, co-editor-in-chief of the Harvard Heart Letter, and professor Amy Wagers.

Dr. Lee and Dr. Wager’s team joined the blood circulation of an old mouse to that of a young mouse. Suddenly, the arteries and veins of the two animals shared the same blood. After four weeks of a shared circulation, the thickened, stiff heart muscle of the old mouse became dramatically less thick and stiff. The experiment was repeated on many pairs of old and young mice, with the same results.

This indicated that some substance was present in the blood of the young mice that rejuvenated the heart muscle of the old mice. Most likely, that substance had been in the blood of the old mice when they were younger, but the substance had decreased as the mice aged.

The team then identified a substance, called GDF11, which was present at high levels in the blood of young mice but not old mice. They treated old mice with enough GDF11 to raise their blood levels of GDF11 to the same levels as it was present in young mice. Again, the thickened, stiff heart muscle of the old mice became thinner and more flexible.

This discovery in mice may one day lead to effective treatments to prevent or reverse this common type of heart failure in humans. Although it will take many more years of research to determine if this discovery will help us, recent advances in aging research gives me hope that it will.

Checking blood pressure at home pays off

2013-10-12T00:42:00.000-07:00

Posted July 03, 2013, 2:57 pm

Do-it-yourselfers, take heart. Here’s something else to do at home that can have a substantial benefit on your health: measure your blood pressure. It’s easy, inexpensive, and helps control blood pressure better than visits to the doctor.

The latest evidence for the benefits of home blood pressure monitoring comes from researchers in Minnesota. They studied 450 people with hypertension, more commonly known as high blood pressure. All had blood pressures higher than deemed healthy—above 140/90, or above 130/80mmHg if they had diabetes or kidney disease.

About half of the volunteers were given home blood pressure monitors capable of electronically sending readings to a secure website. After being shown how to use their monitors, the volunteers were asked to send six readings each week. That information was assessed by pharmacists, who could adjust medications if needed and offer advice on lifestyle changes that could improve blood pressure. The other volunteers received usual care from their primary care providers.

At every step of the way, people in the home monitoring group had more success getting their blood pressure under control than people who had received only usual care. At the end of the trial, 72% of those doing home monitoring had their blood pressure under control, compared to 57% of the usual care group. The benefits persisted six months after the program had ended.

The results, published today in JAMA, are similar to the findings of previous studies on home blood pressure monitoring. But, according to the researchers, this is the first time people with both uncontrolled blood pressure and other conditions (such as diabetes) have been studied in such a program, and the first time results were measured after the formal monitoring program had ended.

“More frequent blood pressure monitoring allows more opportunities to detect blood pressure that is higher than the desired range. That may trigger more intensive treatment of elevated blood pressure,” says cardiologist Dr. Deepak Bhatt, a professor at Harvard Medical School. In other words, if you stay on top of it, you’ll do a better job of treating it.

An editorial accompanying the report said that the study “demonstrates how to improve blood pressure control by making hypertension management more like modern banking: accessible, easy, and convenient.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 1 in 3 adults in the United States has high blood pressure, and half of them don’t have it under control. High blood pressure increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death in the United States.

Even though the American Heart Association and other organizations have called for greater use of home blood pressure monitoring, it isn’t yet widespread. One reason is that insurance coverage for such programs still lags. Another is that full-fledged efforts like the one in Minnesota could cost $1,350 per person.

But you don’t need a special program. You can buy a good home blood pressure monitor at a pharmacy or online merchant for anywhere from $50 to $100. (Ask if your insurance company will cover the cost.) A few things to look for:

an automatic monitor that doesn’t require a stethoscope (it’s easier to use)a monitor that takes the blood pressure reading using a cuff that fits around the upper arm;a read-out large enough for you to see the numbers;a seal from an organization such as the British Hypertension Society, International Protocol for the Validation of Automated BP Measuring Devices, or Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI).

Ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist for help calibrating your monitor and learning how to use it.

How often should you check? At first, take your blood pressure twice a day for a week. The best times are early in the morning (before you have taken any blood pressure medications) and again in the evening. After you’ve done this for a week, once or twice a month—or whatever your doctor recommends—is fine.

“It can be a very effective way to see if blood pressure medications are doing the trick. It can also be useful to monitor for the side effect of blood pressure that is too low. Just remember that home monitoring should not be used as a substitute for regular physician check-ups, especially for patients with poorly controlled blood pressure,” says Dr. Bhatt.

Check out the video below to see the right, and wrong, ways to check blood pressure at home. And you can see more tips here.

Having such a hard time!

2013-10-11T19:58:00.000-07:00

I need to regain my motivation somehow... Last year I lost 75 lbs, and still have about 20 to go to finally be a "normal" weight. Not "ideal", but at least in my appropriate range. But I took December off due to so many family events and an unemployed spouse and not knowing how we'd do Christmas for the kids.

Here it is, July, and I still can't make any headway. I'll do really well for a couple days, and then I'll get depressed or stressed and end up eating something not so good, and the carbs will do crazy things to my blood sugar, leading to massive cravings and "oh what the heck, I'll eat it anyway" syndrome. Literally eating until I'm sick sometimes. I was maintaining okay regardless of the lack of exercise and bad eating, but now it's caught up with me.

How do I get back on track and stay back on track? I can't afford, mentally or physically, to slide back up to the nearly 230 lbs on my 5'2" frame! My lack of self discipline is literally making me cry at times...

Why Yoga Can Be Good for Rheumatoid Arthritis

2013-10-11T16:00:00.000-07:00

By Kara Mayer Robinson
WebMD Feature

Regular exercise is a must when you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). "It's important to keep muscles strong to support the joints, and movement is important to reduce stiffness," says Susan J. Bartlett, PhD, an associate professor of medicine at McGill University in Montreal.

Yoga can be a fun alternative to walking, swimming, biking, and other activities. Exercise, including yoga, helps you maintain a healthy weight and get fit, which in turn takes pressure off your joints. Plus it makes you less likely to get heart disease and diabetes, two conditions that have been linked to rheumatoid arthritis.

A program of yoga poses, breathing, and relaxation can make a big difference in joint tenderness and swelling, according to the Arthritis Foundation. And the better you feel, the better you'll be able to handle your RA.

Yoga is flexible -- literally. "Yoga can be modified in many different ways to help protect your joints and [be] adapted to the specific needs of most individuals," Bartlett says.

So if you're having problems with your wrists, you can make adjustments to protect them. And on those days when your body is telling you to pull back a little, yoga lets you do that.

Yoga has also been shown to boost energy, build positive feelings, and ease anxiety. For people who have an ongoing illness, particularly one that's painful and unpredictable, the mood-boosting impact of yoga is a great bonus. "It really helps with increased stress that goes hand-in-hand with living with a chronic disease," Bartlett says.

"We know that stress worsens RA symptoms and even the disease itself. So it's important to manage stress effectively and to listen to your body," Bartlett says. "When you practice yoga, you learn to listen to and respect your body as it is today, here and now. You learn to focus on yourself and on calming and quieting your body. By doing yoga, you're learning how to relax and let go of muscle tension."

To be sure it's safe and beneficial, it's important to choose a gentle type of yoga, such as hatha, anusara, or iyengar. If you're new to yoga, you should avoid power yoga, astanga, bikram or hot yoga, or kundalini.

"Talk with your doctor first to find out if you have any limitations or restrictions related to your joints," Bartlett says. If some joints are more damaged than others, your rheumatologist may want you to be extra careful about how you use them to avoid pain or stiffness.

Learning from an experienced, certified professional is critical. Bartlett recommends finding a yoga instructor with an advanced level of training and experience working with people who have arthritis. (Find one at the Yoga Alliance, yogaalliance.org.) It's not a good idea to do yoga by yourself with a video or the TV guiding you. Let your teacher know about any limitations you may have, before the class starts. They can often offer modifications if some poses are too challenging at first.

Take a gentle approach. If something hurts, don't do it. If you're experiencing an RA flare, listen to your body and adapt your poses, make your yoga session less intense and/or shorter, or wait for another day.

I Sometimes Eat Too Many Calories! Help.

2013-10-11T08:14:00.000-07:00

Hi!

Long story short: I recently lost tons of weight... in 1 or 2 months. I worked out hard and ate small portions (counted calories). I fell in love with the new me. After my weight loss I felt the urge to eat. and eat. ...and eat! I began craving things I never even had when I was over weight! Like cookies, cakes, brownies, ice cream, etc. I gained about 10 pounds. I developed gastritis. Horrible experience!! I went to the doctor and finally got it taken care of. I am now at a healthy weight and maintain eating right and exercising regularly. HOWEVER sometimes (usually weekends or when I'm home alone) I binge eat like crazy! I'm not even hungry! I eat simply for pleasure or if I get bored. I ALWAYS consider calories when eating and most of the time, I eat less than than what I should. I have a feeling it's a mental thing but seriously, if I eat a meal that is 300 calories or over, I freak out! I should be eating 1,700ish but I feel like I should never pass above 1,200. If I can keep it under 1,000 - the better! I have a feeling this is why after my long day at work/school I just want to eat and eat! When this happens I don't give a **** about calories. (sorry about that) Afterwards I feel bad, guilty, and ...fat (the worst feeling). I hate it! But I seriously don't know what to do! Can anyone help!??

Also, when this does happen, is it safe to workout the same day/night? Or would it be best to wait until morning. I just hate going to bed feeling all the bad stuff that went into my stomach.

PLEASE HELP! Thanks a bunch

Question for Women...

2013-10-11T01:21:00.000-07:00

Wasn't sure where this question belonged, so I apologize if this is misplaced. I started my new healthy lifestyle in February when my husband deployed. I have totally cut white flour from my diet as well as MOST processed sugar, and began a moderate jogging regimen. Anyway, I started losing slowly, 1-2 lbs per month (I was 5 ft 1 and 134 lbs) and was thrilled that it was working. Well, in June, I started to lose lots of weight and am now down to 122. I am not starving myself and ALWAYS eat healthy snacks when I am hungry (except very late at night).

Now for the reason I directed this at women- I was a regular 26 cycle day kind of girl before all this, with my cycles getting somewhat longer as I lost more weight. This cycle I have had cramps but no period and I am on cycle day 31. This has never happened to me before. No, there is no way I am pregnant- my husband has been deployed since February. Yes, I am taking prenatal vitamins so I am not lacking in any essential nutrients. Should I be concerned? Is it possible to "skip" a cycle? At what point do I contact an OBGYN? I would appreciate anyone's personal experiences regarding this issue... Thanks!

A bit of advice needed

2013-10-09T20:25:00.000-07:00

Good day

I'm a 22 year old guy, weigh about 74 or so kg, am 162cm tall. I have developed a binging habit from restricting my diet too much. I do weight training 5 days a week and cardio 6 days a week. Using this I got that I should maintain my weight at 2500 calories a day. What I need advice on is if I eat about 2000 calories a day with the exercise I currently do, will I be able to keep up my weight loss, even after having restricted my diet for so long? I need to stop the binging now, but I don't want to derail weight loss. I just need to do it in a bit more of a healthier way.

Thanks for any help!

ok food choices for a mom to a busy baby!

2013-10-09T04:42:00.000-07:00

I'm having a very hard time with my meal plan. I've always had a poor connection with food. I don't enjoy fixing it or cooking it at all and I'd rather hair skip eating all together... But that's not possible obviously. I need quick, easy meals with limited prep. Simple ideas that are foods a normal person has heard of.

I don't know what to eat or web to eat it. This is my norm lately

Coffee with creamer and sugar first thing in the morning. (6am-8am)

Greek yogurt or bagel and cream cheese (9-11am) sometimes a protein powder fruit smoothie at noon

Turkey sandwich on wheat with sweet baby rays BBQ sauce instead of mayo, or chicken tenders, or left overs from the night before (1-3pm)

String cheese, popcorn, pudding, crackers... Anything at reach that takes seconds to eat so I don't have to share with my son

Dinner can range from chicken, chicken nuggets, burger, minute brown rice, canned veggies. I'm not a good cook so its usually shake n bake or some oven bag roaster thing.

I drink Powerade Zero during the day (one 32 oz bottle) i'll have 1-2 cans of root beer, and drink most of my water after dinner and before bed (I hate water)
