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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Neutropenia and impaired neutrophil migration in type IB glycogen storage disease

TL;DR: The association of neutropenia with type IB glycogen storage disease was observed in siblings and in vitro studies of neutrophils indicated a defect in random and directed cell migration, suggesting that a role for glucose-6-phosphate transport in neutrophil should be considered.

Treating to target: a strategy to cure gout

Fernando Perez-Ruiz
- 01 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: There is good evidence that achieving sUA <6 mg/dl (360 micromol/l) results in freedom from acute gout attacks, and shrinkage and eventual disappearance of tophi, so that new crystals cannot form and existing crystals are dissolved.

The Experience and Impact of Living With Gout A Study of Men With Chronic Gout Using a Qualitative Grounded Theory Approach

TL;DR: Previously hidden perspectives of the experience of gout are provided, suggesting that shame, embarrassment, and stigma lead to trivialization of the impact of disease despite its severity, which could contribute to the development of progressive gout.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quality of care indicators for gout management

TL;DR: Using a combination of evidence and expert opinion, 10 indicators for quality of gout care were developed and represent an important initial step in quality improvement initiatives for gout Care.
Journal ArticleDOI

The murine homolog of the interleukin-8 receptor CXCR-2 is essential for the occurrence of neutrophilic inflammation in the air pouch model of acute urate crystal-induced gouty synovitis.

TL;DR: Chemokines that bind the IL-8 receptor CXCR-2 are essential for the development of acute neutrophilic inflammation in response to urate crystals in the subcutaneous air pouch model.
