 A Cross-Sectional Analysis on Deficiency of Choline, a Nutrient, Results in an Important Finding for Postmenopausal Women

Miami, Florida (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

The result of a newly published study suggests that postmenopausal women, with an inadequate choline diet, are at higher risk of fibrosis. Nutri-Med Logic Corp adds that in 1998, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine established a dietary reference intake (DRI) of choline for females based on age, but only from 0 month up to adulthood. The only other distinction, in adult females, was for pregnant or lactating mothers. The US Institute of Medicine did not consider pre or postmenopausal age as criteria for setting a corresponding choline intake.

The John Hopkins? study encompassed 644 subject, which were grouped into children of 9-13 years old, males more than 13 years old, premenopausal women more than 18 years of age and postmenopausal women, taking into account the adequate choline intake as set by US institute of Medicine; Choline deficiency was defined to be at less than 50% of the adequate intake.

The result of the analysis suggests that postmenopausal women, with fatty liver, having a choline deficient diet had worse fibrosis.

Nutri-Med Logic Corp adds that this new study correctly opens the discussion, as to whether the Choline adequate intake for females needs to be further examined and additional classification would be appropriate for adult females, to-wit, considering the menopausal stage as a new category and same to be irrespective of the liver health of pre or postmenopausal women.

It is well established that premenopausal women might be resistant to choline deficiency due to their production of estrogen, which induces synthesis of choline via the PEMT enzyme (FASEB J. 2007 Aug;21(10):2622-32).

However, given the fact that estrogen levels begin to drop right before, during and after the menopause, further studies might be needed for the adequate choline intake in this category of adult females.

While this study took into account the fatty liver (non-alcoholic) as a factor in the severity of fibrosis but it is with a doubt that deficiency of choline, by itself, might be a cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver, in the first place.

Obviously, non-alcoholic fatty liver is associated to variety of factors, but choline deficiency remains as one of the front-runners. A search of PubMed database on choline deficient diet and studies on choline and fatty liver dates back to 1934.

Furthermore, due to estrogen, physiologically premenopausal women would have a lower choline requirement than men, but with a loss of estrogen at menopausal stage, when taking into account the result of this study, the adequate choline intake for postmenopausal women deserves a new review.

In conclusion, Nutri-Med Logic Corp agrees with this important study and adds that it might be appropriate to revisit the choline requirement for adult females and re-determine if pre or postmenopausal women would require a separate adequate intake classification.

Nutri-Med Logic Corp is the producer of PolyEnylPhosphatidylCholine (PPC 425mg), an extract of soy, a pure and effective dietary source of choline and the recommended dietary supplement for those with Fatty Liver and Alcoholic Liver Disease, in Europe for decades.

Nutri-Med Logic Corp is also the producer of the Natural, Deodorized and Concentrated Omega-3, which is also a Pharmaceutical Grade Omega-3;

 SoCal MD Talks With Parkview Community Hospital Regarding Their National Baby-Friendly Designation


Riverside, CA (PRWEB) February 10, 2012

As technology continues to advance, and more and more professional and personal interactions are conducted virtually over the Internet, it is easy to forget just how important it is for humans to remain in physical contact with one another. However, one Riverside-based nonprofit community hospital has remained dedicated to maintaining the intimate, and unmatched connection that can only occur through physical interactions. That hospital is Parkview Community Hospital, and through their recently acquired ?Baby-Friendly? designation, they uphold this standard of personal human interaction right from the moment of a child?s birth.

Jenny Pricer explained that Baby-Friendly is a global organization that ?recognizes hospitals that provide an optimum care of breastfeeding for mothers and babies,? and that Parkview is one of 121 hospitals (about 5% in the nation) to receive this recognition, which is surprising considering the unparalleled benefits breastfeeding offers both mother and child.”

As a board-certified lactation consultant, Pricer detailed what patients of Parkview Community Hospital learn through the 10 step Baby-Friendly program they developed to help mothers become more successful at breastfeeding. ?We know that breastfeeding not only contributes to health during infancy, but continues on throughout that child?s life? Pricer explained ?Babies who are breastfed for a minimum of 6 months?are less likely to be obese as adults, have a reduced instance of sudden infant death, less upper respiratory infections, and less asthma and allergies in the first year of life.? In addition to all of the advantages children gain if breastfed as babies, mothers who choose to breastfeed benefit as well with a reduced incidence of heart disease?the number one killer of women over 50 in the USA.

Given all the incredible advantages breastfeeding provides both mother and child, it?s amazing to see how infrequently proper breastfeeding practices are implemented in today?s hospitals. From the very beginning, mothers at Parkview Community Hospital get the support for providing the best for their babies. Right at the time of birth, babies are placed skin-to-skin on their mothers for what Pricer described as ?The Golden Hour??an ideal window of opportunity that benefits both mother and child physiologically and emotionally, and contributes to a successful bonding experience. It is during this time that breastfeeding may also be introduced with help from a compassionate and certified lactation consultant, available on-site 7 days a week. Unlike most hospitals, mother and child are not separated, and remain together for the rest of their stay.

As the only nonprofit hospital in Riverside, Parkview Community Hospital is devoted to serving the healthcare needs of the growing community through all stages of life, from newborns to seniors. The hospital offers 24-hour emergency services and critical care, and several centers of excellence including weight loss surgery, a joint replacement center, and maternity services. Most recently, the hospital has been updating its Maternal-Child Health Unit with state of the art LDR rooms, dedicated cesarean rooms, a level 3 NICU, prenatal classes, and neonatologists. Pricer validated Parkview?s distinction as a hospital that truly cares for its patients?, especially in regards to the new born child: ?We recognize the specialness of that moment, and not only are dedicated to helping moms have a safe and healthy delivery, but a rewarding one also.?

 In Tough Economic Times, Financial Infidelity Gene can be Detrimental, Cautions Dr. Bonnie

(PRWEB) February 18, 2012

A study from the University of Washington (http://cbsloc.al/xVFNDD) reveals that spending habits are genetic. The study followed 15,000 sets of twins since the early 1950′s and determined that people are either born to spend or save. Although some doctors grant that the type of upbringing plays a role, the study says that genetics is the largest factor in why a person decides to save or spend. Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, author of Financial Infidelity: Making Money Sexy, has long been studying and treating the outgrowth of this phenomena which can manifest itself as Financial Infidelity.

“Any type of infidelity – including financial – stems from a biochemical craving for connection,” explains Dr. Bonnie. “This is when people experience painful stress, loss, and/or separation and self-medicate in order to achieve a ‘high’ that leads to a momentary escape.” This can be done with drugs, sex, alcohol – and even money. Just like a propensity toward alcoholism can be passed down from generation to generation, so Dr. Bonnie also believes that financial infidelity has genetic roots as well.

“Financial infidelity happens when people in a relationship aren’t honest about their money habits,” says Dr. Bonnie, “this can occur on a relatively small scale – like taking extra money out of the ATM; or on a larger scale – like buying a car without consulting the other person.” Knowing that spending habits are at least partly genetic, and are set by the time people reach their 40′s, means that a propensity toward Financial Infidelity can be hard to overcome.

Money and sex are similar, so financial infidelity and sexual infidelity go hand-in-hand. Dr. Bonnie, whose book Adultery the Forgivable sin deals with the way infidelity manifests itself, knows this is a tough issue to crack, even in a sluggish economy. “For people who are predisposed to spend, it doesn’t matter that the economy is bad, or that they might be struggling financially. This type of behavior is typical with addiction – but most over-spenders don’t realize they should be treating their financial propensities like an addiction.”

When dealing with someone predisposed toward Financial Infidelity, especially in tough economic times, it’s crucial for a committed couple to be on the same page financially, advises Dr. Bonnie. For example: Even if in the past one person was responsible for the bills (or all of the financial duties) and the other didn’t pay too much attention, now is the time to get both people involved.

A genetic predisposition to spend isn’t an excuse for bad habits but rather an explanation for why some people struggle more with this behavior than others. It also provides a wake-up call for the importance of properly dealing with this struggle.

 Cherokee Nation Releases Economic Impact Report

Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla. (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

The Cherokee Nation officially released its latest economic impact report at news conferences in Oklahoma City and Tulsa today. The independent report finds the Cherokee Nation has an impact of more than $ 1 billion on the state?s output level. That includes $ 401 million in state income impacts, while directly and indirectly supporting more than 13,500 jobs.

?One of my top priorities is to accurately quantify the impact the Cherokee Nation has on our state?s economy,? Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker said. ?While we knew all along the impact was substantial, we were proud to see the significant impact our tribal and business operations have on the state of Oklahoma.?

The report studied the economic impact from Cherokee operations in the 14 counties of the Cherokee Nation.The Cherokee Nation government operations employ more than 3,250 individuals, with the majority working and residing in the Cherokee Nation?s northeast Oklahoma jurisdictional boundary.Cherokee Nation Businesses, wholly owned by the Cherokee Nation, employs an additional 5,400 Oklahomans, making the Cherokee Nation a top employer in northeast Oklahoma.

?I think it becomes clear, when you look at the numbers in this report, that the Cherokee Nation plays a major role in the overall success of the state?s economy,? Baker said.?The Cherokee Nation is proud to be a vital and lasting part of the fabric of Oklahoma?s economy.With a presence in 14 counties throughout northeast Oklahoma, our roots are here and will always be here.We are proud of the progress of a generation and look forward to supporting northeast Oklahoma for generations to come.?

Beyond its direct investments, the Cherokee Nation supports a number of local diverse and growing industries and helps drive concurrent private sector investments and development in northeast Oklahoma. The Cherokee Nation?s government is responsible for a variety of public services including child care, career services, elder services and health care services.

The report was commissioned by the Cherokee Nation and produced by Russell Evans, executive director and research economist at the Steven C. Agee Economic Research and Policy Institute in the Meinders School of Business at Oklahoma City University. Evans and his research team spent nearly a year carefully collecting and reviewing data to paint an accurate picture of the Cherokee Nation?s impact on the state of Oklahoma.

Cherokee Nation Businesses? diverse business portfolio includes environmental and construction, health care services, manufacturing, hospitality, industrial, real estate, safety and security and information technology.
