Sugar-sweetened beverages and risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes: Epidemiologic evidence

TL;DR: It is thought that SSBs contribute to weight gain in part by incomplete compensation for energy at subsequent meals following intake of liquid calories, and should be replaced by healthy alternatives such as water, to reduce risk of obesity and chronic diseases.

Uric acid transport and disease.

TL;DR: The biology of urate metabolism and its role in disease is discussed and recent studies identifying SLC2A9, which encodes the glucose transporter family isoform Glut9, as a major determinant of plasma uric acid levels and of gout development are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Broader View: Microbial Enzymes and Their Relevance in Industries, Medicine, and Beyond

TL;DR: In this review, an approach has been made to highlight the importance of different enzymes with special emphasis on amylase and lipase in the different industrial and medical fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Where is mTOR and what is it doing there

TL;DR: The finding that mTORC1 is localized to the lysosome has significantly enhanced the understanding of m TORC1 regulation and may be a general principle used by TOR to enact precise spatial and temporal control of cell growth.

Does colchicine work? The results of the first controlled study in acute gout.

TL;DR: Two-thirds of colchicine-treated patients improved after 48 hours, but only one-third of the patients receiving placebo demonstrated similar improvement; significant differences from placebo were shown after 18-30 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI

A literature review of the epidemiology and treatment of acute gout

TL;DR: Gout is an increasingly prevalent condition worldwide and creates a heavy economic burden and well-designed, long-term, controlled clinical trials evaluating the comparative efficacy and tolerability of treatments for gout are needed.

Determination of stone composition by noncontrast spiral computed tomography in the clinical setting

TL;DR: Using peak attenuation measurements and the attenuation/size ratio of urinary calculi from NCCT, the data was able to differentiate between uric acid and calcium oxalate stones.

Reappraisal of the pathogenesis and consequences of hyperuricemia in hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and renal disease

TL;DR: This article suggests that hyperuricemia may be mediated by intrarenal ischemia with lactate generation and the inhibition of the secretion of urate by the anion-exchange transport system, and further studies are necessary to rule out a pathogenic role for uric acid in the development of renal disease and salt-dependent hypertension.
