8 Foods Every Runner Needs to Lose Weight
“As you age, your sleep becomes more fragmented. You get less slow wave, or deep sleep, and this is most associated with restoration of physical and mental health,” says Kelly Glazer Baron, assistant processor of neurology at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. In 2013, her research with colleagues found that low-intensity walking or running three times a week resulted in better nights of sleep for women over age 55 with insomnia.

New Drug for Severe Eczema Is Successful in 2 New Trials
Many doctors provide no treatments other than perhaps creams and ointments that do not stop the itching or soothe the red and weeping rash, said Dr. Jonathan I. Silverberg of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and a principal investigator in one of the studies. “What we are seeing are some really impressive efficacy numbers,” Dr. Silverberg said. “But efficacy alone is not enough. It is the safety profile that is the real key. Everything we are seeing really looks great.”

Scientists fix fractures with 3D-printed synthetic bone
Scientists in the United States have successfully treated broken spines and skulls in animals using 3D-printed synthetic bone, opening the possibility of future personalized bone implants for humans to fix dental, spinal other bone injuries. “Another unique property … is that it’s highly porous and absorbent – and this is important for cell and tissue integration,” said Ramille Shah of Northwestern University’s department of material science, engineering and surgery, who co-led the work. With this hyper-elastic bone, however, many of those issues would be overcome, said Adam Jakus, Shah’s co-researcher at Northwestern University. “It’s purely synthetic, very cheap and very easy to make,” he said. “It can be packaged, shipped and stored very nicely.”

Are we reaching the end of the trend for longer, healthier lives?
“The greater cause of the stagnation in cardiovascular death rates is that the obesity epidemic, which started in this country in about 1985, is finally coming home to roost,” says Donald Lloyd-Jones, a physician and chair of the department of preventive medicine at Northwestern University.

Early menopause linked to higher heart disease, death risks
“We don’t know definitively whether the reproductive system is influencing cardiovascular health or cardiovascular disease is influencing the ovary,” said Teresa Woodruff, one of the editorial writers. She is vice chair for research in obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University in Chicago.

Early menopause tied to heart risk and early death
Women in Western populations enter menopause at an average age of 51, write Dr. JoAnn Manson, of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and Teresa Woodruff, of Northwestern University in Chicago, in an editorial accompanying the new analysis.
Professional societies agree that women with early menopause should be considered for hormone therapy – if eligible – to manage symptoms and protect bone and vascular health, Manson and Woodruff write.
