By Lisa Rapaport (Reuters Health) – Even preemies who receive breathing treatments to improve lung function early in life may have respiratory challenges as children and adolescents, an Australian study suggests. When researchers examined data on about 300 extremely small, low birth weight babies, they found these early arrivals were much more likely to have small airway obstruction at ages 8 and 18 than a group of 260 otherwise similar babies who were born full-term and normal size. Furthermore, the preemies had a greater increase in small airway obstruction between ages 8 and 18, compared with full-term babies.

Study finds each effective, as long as healthy weight loss is the result
A study presented at a scientific congress Thursday reported a link between long naps and a higher risk of diabetes, though it couldn’t say if daytime sleeping was a symptom or a cause. People who slept more than an hour each day were 45 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, a debilitating condition associated with overweight and a sedentary lifestyle, the study found. Without treatment, the disease can lead to blindness, nerve damage, kidney failure, heart disease and premature death.
