From Boston - Tanning beds raise risk of skin cancer, according to a report presented at the International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research. Studying data on over 73,000 individuals, researchers food that for every four visits made to a tanning bed per year, risk of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma increased by 15%, while the risk of melanoma increased by 11%.
From North Carolina - Research published in the International Journal of Obesity finds that obesity may make flu shots less effective. Studying blood samples from volunteers who received the seasonal flu vaccine in 2009, researchers found that obese individuals had their antibody levels decrease much faster than individuals of a healthy weight.
And finally, from the Netherlands - CT scans can also be used to detect COPD, according to a report published in JAMA . Researchers studied over 1100 men undergoing CT scans for lung cancer screening. They found that the imaging was also able to identify 100% of participants who had severe obstruction in their lungs.

(August 25, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Vermont - According to the American Heart Association, individuals need to reduce the amount of added sugar in their diet. In an effort to curb the rise of obesity, the AHA recommends that added sugars not account for more than 100 calories per day for women, or 150 calories for men. That is about 5 to 9 teaspoons of sugar per day, compared to the current intake of about 22 teaspoons.
From Boston - According to research in the journal Pediatrics, conventional infant car seats may increase the risk of hypoxia. In a study of 200 newborns, researchers found that average oxygen saturation declined significantly among infants placed in a car seat or car bed, compared to a hospital crib. The researchers recommend that car seats only be used for transportation, and not as a substitute for a real crib.
And finally, from California - According to research in the American Journal of Public Health, cable television ads for alcohol air more often when there is a larger teen audience watching. In a study of Nielsen ratings data, researchers found that every one-percentage-point increase in adolescent viewership was associated with an increase in the number of ads for beer and spirits. Current evidence suggests that alcohol advertising may influence underage drinking.

Bedford is one of New Hampshire's most desirable towns. The town's Village Center is uncommonly pretty, blending antique colonial structures and beautiful new homes. Formerly farmland has evolved into graceful homesteads for those commuting to nearby Manchester and other cities; notably, Nashua, Boston and even Concord. With an 80/20 residential-to-business ratio, Bedford's real estate profile doesn't automatically evoke a booming business town. However, commerce in Bedford is growing featuring the Bedford Village Inn and Restaurant, one of the top Bed and Breakfasts in New Hampshire as well as one of the finest restaurants, C.R. Sparks. Business activity in Bedford is focused along Route 3, otherwise known as "the performance zone." Premium office parks and shopping centers such as the Bedford Mall along with Macy's department store, the Wayfarer Inn and the Country Club line this road, which runs south from Manchester into Merrimack and Nashua. Bedford's other commercial clusters are along Route 101, which extends westward. With a reputation for a first-rate school system, Bedford has turned its focus toward town recreational facilities featuring a 70-acre park with several ballfields, ski trails, fishing and ice skating.
