Weight Loss

A lot of people especially women above 40 has been wondering about if KETO would really be helpful for them. In this paper I have explained the science behind the KETO and and how it help to reduce the weight. Hope it will help to those are struggling with excess weight issues.

Background: If medical treatment of obesity fails and if surgical gastroplasty is not indicated, insertion of an intragastric balloon may represent an intermedi-ate modality. Methods: Two patients are reported in whom a bal-loon was placed for weight reduction before elective surgery: 1) ...

The college-aged female bodybuilders in this study consumed nutrient-dense, low-fat foods and participated in strenuous exercise to develop their physiques. Non-competitors maintained consistent energy intake, exercise patterns, and body weight throughout the study period. In contrast, competitors exhibited periods of caloric restriction and excess associated with the pre- and post-competition events. This study indicates that college-aged female bodybuilders have food intake and exercise patterns that are unique to the sport.

The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of different concentrations of calcium chloride (1%, 1.5%, 2%), paraffin wax coating and different wrapping materials (polyethylene, carton paper) inorder to increase the shelf life and to avoid the postharvest losses of Banky cultivars of apple. In physical characteristics general appearance (color and shape of fruit), weight loss percentage and

Adolescents with obesity (N = 48) and their caregivers were randomized to Multisystemic Therapy (MST) or a group weight-loss intervention. MST adolescents significantly reduced percents overweight and body fat, while control adolescents did not. Treatments such as MST that can intervene in the multiple systems that influence weight are worthy of further study.

Locally recurrent prostate cancer can lead to significant morbidity, metastasis, and even death. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an injectable polymeric paste formulation containing paclitaxel against orthotopic prostate tumor in rats. The Dunning R-3327 rat prostate adenocarcinoma is experimental tumor model used to study tumor progression. The polymer loaded with paclitaxel was injected into the tumor bearing prostate glands of the rats 3 days after tumor cell inoculation. In control untreated rats, tumor volume reached 14 cm3 after 25 days, while in rats treated with intratumoral injection of polymer/paclitaxel formulation the prostate volume with the tumor was only 0.9 cm3, 35 days posttumor cells inoculation. In the group treated with intratumoral injection of paclitaxel suspension, the tumor volume was 6.6 cm3, and in the group treated with intraperitonial (IP) paclitaxel formulation, the tumor volume reached 13.9 cm3 25 days posttumor cells inoculation. No metastases were found in rats treated intratumorally with 200 µL of polymer/paclitaxel formulation, while rats in other treatment groups developed metastases in the lungs and lymph nodes. The results of this study indicated that a site-directed, injectable, controlled release formulation of paclitaxel is effective against localized prostate tumors and metastasis. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 98:1005–1014, 2009
