Low impact aerobic exercise reduces fatigue in auto-immune conditions says multi-study review

People with auto-immune conditions like MS, arthritis and lupus can benefit from low impact aerobic exercise -- including walking and cycling -- that increases in intensity, duration and frequency. A review of studies between 1987 and 2006 shows that 12-week programmes that involved exercising for 30 to 60 minutes, three times a week, yielded the most effective results.

1. Study shows some athletic men may risk low bone density
   10-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis affects more than 2 million men in the United States and nearly 12 million more have osteopenia -- clinically significant low bone density that is less severe than osteoporosis. Now, a new study from the University of Missouri-Columbia has found that men engaging predominantly in low-impact forms of exercise have an increased incidence of osteopenia -- a condition resulting in two times the risk of bone fracture.

4. Further legitimization of fibromyalgia as a true medical condition
   06-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Fibromyalgia is a chronic, widespread pain in muscles and soft tissues accompanied by fatigue. Twenty-five years ago, Muhammad B. Yunus, M.D., and colleagues published the first controlled study of the clinical characteristics of fibromyalgia syndrome. That seminal article led directly to formal recognition of this disease by the medical community. In the June 2007 issue of Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, Dr. Yunus once again makes an enormous contribution to the field of chronic pain and fatigue.

   Folate may protect cognition in seniors, but only with adequate levels of vitamin B12. In an epidemiological study, low B-vitamin status was associated with anemia and cognitive impairment. Low vitamin B12 status was especially linked to these conditions if seniors also had high folate in the blood.

8. HIV exploits competition among T-cells
   10-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
   New HIV research shows how competition among the human immune system's T cells allows the virus to escape destruction and eventually develop into full-blown AIDS. The study, slated to appear in Physical Review Letters, employs a computer model of simultaneous virus and immune system evolution. It also suggests a new strategy for vaccinating against the virus -- a strategy that the computer simulations suggest may prevent the final onset of AIDS.

   A single bone mineral density test given 15 years earlier predicted a woman’s risk of developing fractures to her spine over time, according to a JAMA study, led by investigators at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. The study also found that more than half of the women with low BMD and existing spinal fractures developed new fractures, raising concerns about the impact of so-called "silent" fractures to the spine.

    In a report in the December issue of PLOS Medicine, a group of researchers from the Partners AIDS Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital report one of the first studies of how HIV infection impacts immune system functions involved with hepatitis C virus control. Their findings suggest that beginning antiretroviral therapy earlier than is generally recommended may help preserve HCV control in patients infected with both viruses.
