Researchers have been advancing towards an innovative breakthrough in the HIV treatment. This breakthrough comes with a synthetic human growth hormone factor. A synthetic human growth hormone-releasing factor has significant beneficial effects on ‘lipid profiles and visceral obesity in patients with HIV-associated lipodystrophy’.

Ongoing clinical trials divided in to phased testing’s have revealed various other findings in addition to this breakthrough. Results from a phase III trial show that there is an analogy between the new factor and typical characteristics observed in the HIV patients.

The researchers explained about this new finding that, “Tesamorelin“is a synthetic human growth hormone releasing factor GHRH (1-44) analogue with a trans-3-hexenoyl group added to the N-terminal to increase the half-life over that of native GHRH (1-44)”.

“Childhood-Obesity” increases the probability of premature heart attacks and strokes. Children are growing with obesity and this has become a worldwide concern now. “Childhood-Obesity” is no less than a growing epidemic.

Findings of two successive studies brought out recently reveal that the potential impact of childhood obesity must be viewed with two inter-related perspectives. One of these two studies examined and analyzed the effects of excess weight from childhood to the adulthood. This study evaluated the track records of more than 250,000 youngsters who were examined in the year 1930.

Second study applied latest techniques including digital crystal ball of computer modeling. Findings of this studies resulted in to the predicting that the probability of increase of the deaths due to heart attacks could rise up by 1.9%.This increase in the rate of deaths may have a beginning at an average age of 35 years.
