From Maryland - Obesity rates in the US are still high and have not changed much in recent years, according to a report published in JAMA . Analyzing data from a nationally representative sample, researchers found that one in three adults and one in six children and teens are obese, while there have been increases in obesity rates among certain demographics.
From Texas - A new report published in Science Translational Medicine describes how cigarette smoke causes emphysema. Studying mice, researchers found that toxic cigarette smoke activates a host of genes in the immune system that in turn inflame the lungs, resulting in emphysema.
And finally, from Quebec - A new report published in the Lancet emphasizes the importance of diagnosing and treating insomnia early. Researchers reviewed evidence regarding the sleep disorder, finding that insomnia patients are over 5x more likely to have anxiety and depression, 2x more likely to develop congestive heart failure and diabetes, and 7x more likely to develop substance abuse problems

From New York - Statins may have cancer fighting ability, according to a report published in Cell . Scientists examined cancer cells in an artificial model of the human breast, finding that mutations in the tumour suppressing gene p53 led to disorganized and invasive growth of the cancer cells. When the p53 mutation was treated with statins, researchers saw the cancer cells stop their invasive growth and even die.
From Boston - Levels of a certain blood protein can predict which diabetic patients will develop kidney disease, according to a report published in Journal of the American Society Nephrology. Studying over 1,000 type 1 and 2 diabetic patients, researchers found that high levels of TNF receptor in the blood increased risk of kidney disease later in life by 3-5x.

From Boston - Nearly half of all police officers suffer from sleep disorders, according to a report published in JAMA . Studying over 3,600 North American police officers for two years, researchers found that 40% had at least one sleep disorder, the most common one being sleep apnea.
From the Netherlands - A new report published in PLoS Medicine finds that single sex vaccination is the best approach to reducing HPV infections. Mathematical modelling revealed that vaccinating only females against HPV infections would be the most effective approach to reducing the prevalence of the virus.
And finally, from New Jersey - High blood pressure treatment may improve life expectancy, according to a report published in J AMA . Researchers randomized hypertension patients to either chlorthalidone for 4.5 years or a placebo. Results showed that patients taking the high blood pressure medication had significantly lower death rates and a much higher life expectancy free from cardiovascular death when compared to those on placebo

From Sweden, autoimmune disorder patients who have been admitted to hospital are at an increased risk of having a pulmonary embolism. The researchers from Lund University in Sweden looked at over 500,000 autoimune hospital admissions and noted a 6-fold increase in risk of pulmonary embolism within the following year. The research suggests that prophylaxis could be warranted in these patients.
From Palo Alto, researchers studying Timothy Syndrome brains may have unlocked potential clues as to how autism miswires the brain. Timothy Syndrome is a very rare genetic disease whose sufferers exhibit autism-like symptoms. The current research out of Stanford, in following only a single gene mutation, has made it possible to better track specific causal mechanisms within brain cells that may explain autistic behaviour.
And finally, from Baltimore, hypoglossal nerve stimulation may be a viable alternative to continuous positive airway pressure in managing obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers from Johns Hopkins examined the effectiveness of this novel treatment for increasing airflow without rousing patients from sleep. The effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure is often undermined by low patient adherence.
