Abstract:
Context: Unhealthy weight loss practices continue to plague amateur wrestling. The National Collegiate Athletic Association weight loss guidelines are beneficial but have not solved the problem. Evidence Acquisition: All relevant databases through 2008 were searched using PubMed. The references of relevant articles were then searched for additional publications. Study Type: Clinical review. Results: New rules approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association have been implemented in an attempt to prevent drastic weight loss practices in wrestlers. Although some are effective, such as establishing a minimum wrestling weight and decreasing the period between weigh-ins and actual wrestling, unsafe weight loss practices still occur. Conclusion: The attempts made by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to prevent drastic weight loss in wrestling have been effective to some degree. The mind-set of athletes, coaches, and clinicians needs to change if further improvements are to be made.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: To systematically review and summarize evidence relevant to obesity and breast cancer clinical outcome, potential hormonal mediating mechanisms, and the current status of weight loss interventions for chronic disease management. METHODS: A comprehensive, formal literature review was conducted to identify 5,687 citations with key information from 159 references summarized in text and tables. This process included a search for all breast cancer studies exploring associations among survival or recurrence and obesity at diagnosis or weight gain after diagnosis using prospective criteria. RESULTS: On the basis of observational studies, women with breast cancer who are overweight or gain weight after diagnosis are found to be at greater risk for breast cancer recurrence and death compared with lighter women. Obesity is also associated with hormonal profiles likely to stimulate breast cancer growth. Recently, use of weight loss algorithms proven successful in other clinical settings that incorporate dietary therapy, physical activity, and ongoing behavior therapy have been endorsed by the National Institutes of Health and other health agencies. CONCLUSION: Although definitive weight loss intervention trials in breast cancer patients remain to be conducted, the current evidence relating increased body weight to adverse breast cancer outcome and the documented favorable effects of weight loss on clinical outcome in other comorbid conditions support consideration of programs for weight loss in breast cancer patients. Recommendations for the clinical care of overweight or obese breast cancer patients are offered.

Abstract:
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) resulting from disturbances in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Insulin is a hormone produced by pancreatic beta cells, which is needed to utilize glucose from digested food. Comprehensive care is taken to treat patients with either prediabetes or diabetes. Diabetes management includes lifestyle interventions along with pharmacologic therapy and routine blood glucose monitoring. So that a decrease in blood glucose can occur and can be stable for a long time. Discussion:Lifestyle modification is an economical treatment that saves costs to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. On the other hand, nutritional management provided by a dietitian is also recommended. Moderate weight loss goals are an important component of diabetes prevention and treatment, as large body weight can increase blood glucose levels, and can also have an increasing impact on blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Weight loss can be achieved through a balanced diet, with total control of calories and free carbohydrates. However, for diabetic patients following a low-carbohydrate diet, they should be informed about possible side effects such as hypoglycemia, headaches and constipation. Other studies have suggested the consumption of complex dietary fiber and whole grains to improve blood sugar control. Greater adherence to diet combined with light physical activity was associated with a lower likelihood of diabetes after adjusting for various factors. Conclusion:Lifestyle modification is a fairly cost-effective treatment to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes, with a risk reduction of about 58% in 3 years. It is strongly recommended by the ADA that patients with IGT, IFG or HbA1C levels of 5.7-6.4% be counseled on lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. On the other hand, nutritional management provided by a dietitian is also recommended.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite refinements and standardization in the use of anticoagulants, many problems remain for clinicians. Dr. Crowther describes appropriate starting and maintenance doses of warfarin, factors accounting for inter- and intra-observer variability and importantly, the management of the over-anticoagulated patients and bleeding patients. Dr. White compares unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and addresses whether there truly are differences in the efficacy and safety of different LMWH's for both arterial and venous indications. Dr. Ortel discusses the management of the problem patient who requires anticoagulants, the management of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, the pregnant patient, the obese patient, patients who have renal insufficiency and/or liver disease, patients with malignant disease, and other challenging patient populations.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate options for the management of weight gain associated with olanzapine therapy. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE (1966–May 2004), International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (1970–August 2003), The Cochrane Library, and EMBASE (1974–August 2003) databases were searched using the key words antipsychotics, atypical antipsychotics, olanzapine, and weight gain. Bibliographies of cited articles were reviewed. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION: All articles identified from the data sources were evaluated and all information deemed relevant was included for this review. DATA SYNTHESIS: Weight gain is a common adverse effect of olanzapine, a member of the atypical antipsychotic class. Data are limited supporting a specific therapeutic approach to the management of weight gain with olanzapine treatment. Reversal of weight gain with lifestyle modifications and adjunctive pharmacologic therapies such as nizatidine and amantadine has been modest. Experience with adjunctive pharmacologic treatment has been limited to small, observational studies and case reports. Although data are limited, weight reduction has been observed in select patients switching from olanzapine to an alternative atypical antipsychotic. CONCLUSIONS: At this time, targeting lifestyle modifications provides the most reasonable approach to minimize weight gain observed with olanzapine therapy. Preliminary evidence evaluating adjunctive pharmacologic treatment for this indication has demonstrated minimal clinical benefit. Switching to an alternative atypical antipsychotic agent associated with less significant weight gain may be appropriate in select patients. Further clinical trials are needed to support a specific therapeutic approach to managing weight gain with olanzapine.

Abstract:
Abstract Context Pediatric obesity is now recognized as a chronic disease; yet few treatment options exist besides lifestyle modification therapy and bariatric surgery. We describe the limited availability of United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)–approved antiobesity medications for adolescents and compare this to what is available for adults. We offer a rationale for off-label prescribing to assist with lifestyle modification therapy. We also highlight the need for more pharmacotherapy options and additional research into novel treatments for pediatric obesity. Case Description We describe a patient who is struggling with managing her weight and starting to develop complications of obesity. We offer a framework in which off-label prescribing may be beneficial to patients who have been engaging in lifestyle modification therapy yet fail to see improvement. Conclusion Lifestyle modification therapy is necessary but often insufficient in stimulating clinically meaningful weight loss when used alone in children and adolescents who struggle with weight management. Until more FDA-approved antiobesity medications are available, pediatricians may be able to help more patients achieve weight reduction goals by familiarizing themselves with the responsible use of off-label medications and implementing these tools to improve clinical outcomes. There is a critical need for more pharmacotherapy options to help pediatric patients in managing their weight and preventing or improving the insidious complications resulting from untreated obesity.
