By Andrew M. Seaman (Reuters Health) – Women who take part in exercise, diet programs or a combination of the two during pregnancy can prevent excessive weight gain, according to a fresh review of past research. The review incorporates dozens of new studies to update a previous review that did not find enough evidence to support the use of diet and exercise during pregnancy. After including the new studies, the new review found “high-quality evidence” to show diet, exercise or both can reduce the risk of excessive weight gain during pregnancy, write the researchers in The Cochrane Library.
By Andrew M. Seaman (Reuters Health) – Overweight and obese women are at increased risk of developing breast cancer after menopause, compared to normal-weight women, a large new analysis finds. The cancer risk rises with greater weight, researchers found, and women with the most severe obesity were 86 percent more likely to develop the most common form of breast cancer, and to be diagnosed with more advanced cancers. While other research has pointed to a link between excess weight and breast cancer risk, it’s important to confirm that link, especially for something changeable like weight, “because that suggests women can do something about it,” said Marian Neuhouser, of the Cancer Prevention Program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, who led the study.

The world’s first artificial leg capable of simulating the feelings of a real limb and fighting phantom pain was unveiled by researchers in Vienna on Monday. The innovation is the result of a two-fold process, developed by Professor Hubert Egger at the University of Linz in northern Austria. Six sensors were then fitted to the foot sole of a lightweight prosthesis, and linked to so-called stimulators inside the shaft where the stump sits.
By Kathryn Doyle (Reuters Health) – In recent years, as weight loss surgeries have been on the rise, so have procedures like tummy tucks, breast lifts, thigh lifts and upper arm lifts, which are usually associated with significant weight loss, according to new data from the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS). “We’re seeing exponential growth in concurrent surgeries, and we’re realizing that this is really a continuum of care for these patients,” said ASPS President Dr. Scot Glasberg, a private-practice plastic surgeon based in Manhattan, New York. “Hanging skin can be very painful and get in the way for daily activities,” Glasberg told Reuters Health by phone.
