Weight gain is the result of positive energy balance and the only way you can get into positive balance is if energy input exceeds output.

As all calories enter the body as food or drink, ingestive behaviour is obviously an important determinant of energy balance.

Although physical activity accounts for only around one-third of total energy expenditure (two-thirds of energy is burnt just to keep your body alive), it is still an important component of energy balance.

  The Disease Management Care Blog received a DMAA email containing this press release today. It calls for a moratorium in “GINA regulation implementation.”

  GINA is part of the logarithmically expanding blob of Washington D.C. acronyms. This particular one refers to the ‘Genetic Information Nondiscrimation Act’ that was signed into law by President Bush on May 21, 2008.

  The Disease Management Care Blog has given a number of grand rounds, webinars and presentations and, like many speakers, has a core set of PowerPoint slides that seem to make it into every occasion. In thinking about it’s last few engagements, one slide in particular keeps cropping up. It’s a fav that compares and contrasts six key domains of the population health née disease management and the patient centered medical home.

  Sometimes I really hate science.
  (Photo: Andrew Huff)
  At least I hate science when it tells me something I don’t want to hear, like: you need to work harder if you want better results.
  I vastly prefer those studies that say the opposite. “Drink green tea, you’ll burn fat while sitting on your ass!” Or, “take more naps!” Or, “don’t forget those rest days if you want to build muscle!”

  Cisplatin is a chemotherapy drug commonly prescribed to lung cancer patients. Because it is administered systemically, the entire body gets a hefty dose of the toxic substance with side effects that are often quite debilitating. To better target the drug toward lung CA, researchers at the University of Strachlyde, Glasgow and TRANSAVE (Monmouth Junction, NJ) have independently developed inhalation microcapsules that can contain cisplatin.
