People whose ring finger is longer than their index finger are at higher risk of osteoarthritis, according to a new University of Nottingham study. A study of more than 2,000 people suggests that people whose index finger is shorter than their ring finger are up to twice as likely to suffer from the condition, which is the most common form of arthritis.

Sexual Abuse and Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome (IC/PBS)

Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is both more common in those with a history of sexual abuse, and has a different pattern (suggestive of muscle pain with secondary central sensitization). 18-33 percent of patients with IC/PBS have a history of sexual abuse. In this study, they looked at whether the bladder symptoms manifested differently in the group with a history of abuse. They found that of 121 consecutive subjects newly diagnosed with IC/BPS, 30 (25 percent) subjects reported sexual abuse preceding the onset of bladder issues. Only 1 case of abuse had been previously documented in physicians' medical records.

Vitamin D Highly Effective for Addressing Diabetic Nerve Pain

BY:
Published: October 15, 2012
Categories:

In this study of 51 people with Diabetic Neuropathy (nerve pain), all of them were found to have suboptimal Vitamin D levels. Therapy with Vitamin D at ~ 2,000 units a day decreased pain by 47% after 3 months. The average 25 Vitamin D level was only 18 ng/ml at the start (want it to be over 30) and just got to 30 at 3 months. I suspect pain relief will continue to improve as it goes higher.

In this Spanish study, 418 nondiabetic subjects (but who had risk factors for developing diabetes) aged 55 to 80 years were randomized to the low-fat diet (control group), or one of two Mediterranean diets supplemented with either free virgin olive oil (1 L/week) or nuts (30 g/day). Diets were without limits, and no advice on physical activity was given. The main outcome was how many of the people developed diabetes four years later.

Sleep Your Way to Lower Blood Pressure

BY:
Published: October 15, 2012
Categories:

In my recent book Real Cause, Real Cure (Rodale), I point out that lack of sleep can cause, or complicate, many different health problems, many of which you'd be surprised to find out are associated with poor sleep. These include heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Now scientists are linking a lack of deep sleep — the most restorative kind of sleep — to high blood pressure.
