Exercise management of obesity.
TL;DR: It is important for physicians to spend a few minutes discussing physical activity with their patients and to remember that their success in changing behavior may be in small increments, which can lead to success for many patients and physicians.

TL;DR: The excess mortality among underweight patients was largely explained by the overrepresentation of individuals with moderate-to-severe COPD, which may in part explain the "obesity paradox" in the PAD population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Racial and ethnic variations in albuminuria in the US Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) population: associations with diabetes and level of CKD.
TL;DR: Racial and ethnic minorities have greater odds of albuminuria than whites with and without diabetes, which persists primarily for those with an eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) or greater.

TL;DR: Standard exercise testing and BMI can be used to estimate prognosis in outpatients with heart failure, and BMI was chosen by the survival analysis, confirming its surprising inverse relationship to prog outlook in CHF patients.
BRIEF REPORT Genetic Variations at the Endocannabinoid Type 1 Receptor Gene (CNR1) Are Associated with Obesity Phenotypes in Men
Paola Russo,Pasquale Strazzullo,Francesco P. Cappuccio,David A. Tregouet,Fabio Lauria,M. Loguercio,Gianvincenzo Barba,Marco Versiero,Alfonso Siani +8 more
TL;DR: Genetic variants at CNR1 are associated with obesity-related phenotypes in men and the detection of polymorphic variants in genes involved in the process of fat accumulation may help identify specific targets for pharmacological treatment of obesity and related metabolic abnormalities.
