Health Rounds: Changes in DNA can help determine heart risks of type 2 diabetes patients
Aug 7 (Reuters) - (This is an excerpt of the Health Rounds newsletter, where we present latest medical studies on Tuesdays and Thursdays.) Hello Health Rounds readers! Today we feature a study from Swedish researchers who have come up with a way to determine if some people with type 2 diabetes are at lower risk for developing heart disease. And we report on a fascinating accidental discovery involving maple syrup and tooth decay. DNA changes help predict heart risk in type 2 diabetes New findings from a Swedish study of people with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes could help doctors identify those at low risk for developing cardiovascular diseases versus those at higher risk. Overall, people with type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to experience a heart attack, stroke, or another major cardiovascular event, compared to people without diabetes. The 752 volunteers in the new study all had new diagnoses of type 2 diabetes, and none had a history of heart disease. During roughly seven years of follow-up, 102 of them suffered serious cardiovascular complications. By analyzing blood samples obtained from participants at regular intervals, the researchers were able to track chemical changes in DNA over time. Such changes, called DNA methylation, 'control which genes are active or turned off in our cells, and when it does not work properly, it can contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease," study leader Charlotte Ling of Lund University said in a statement. The researchers found more than 400 sites with altered DNA methylation in blood. They were able to use 87 sites to develop a score scale that can assess patients' risk of developing serious cardiovascular complications. The scale's negative predictive value – its accuracy at identifying patients at low risk of a major cardiovascular event - was 96%, researchers reported in Cell Reports Medicine, opens new tab. But the scale was only about 32% accurate at identifying patients at high risk – possibly because the study has not yet followed them for a long enough period. Still, the researchers wrote, their screening test 'seems to be one of the most reliable prognostic tools' for discriminating patients with type 2 diabetes at low cardiac risk from those at possibly high risk, 'allowing personalized treatment, optimized healthcare costs, and reduction of therapy-related side effects and patients' worries.' Healthcare providers currently look at clinical variables such as age, gender, blood pressure, smoking, harmful cholesterol, long-term blood sugar and kidney function to estimate the risk of future heart disease, "but it is a rather blunt tool," Ling said. 'If you add DNA methylation, you have a much better measure of a future risk.' Compound in maple syrup fights tooth decay A natural compound in the syrup from maple tree sap can help fight tooth decay, according to new findings that might lead to oral care products with no alcohol and fewer chemicals, researchers said. The compound known as epicatechin gallate, or ECG, prevents cavity-causing bacteria from growing on teeth and 'is a powerful and safe alternative to traditional plaque-fighting agents,' the researchers said in a statement. 'Its natural abundance, affordability and lack of toxicity make it especially promising for inclusion in oral care products such as mouthwashes, offering a safer option for young children, who often accidentally swallow mouthwash,' they added. The idea for their study grew from their discovery in an unrelated experiment that Listeria bacteria – a common cause of food poisoning – can grow and form biofilms on most plants and wood but not on maple. Working with maple sap and diluted maple syrup, the researchers isolated the compound that inhibits Listeria attachment and experimented to see whether it would have similar effects on Streptococcus mutans, the bacteria that cause biofilms on teeth, also known as plaque, and dental cavities. The researchers first tested their theory in computer models, according to a report in Microbiology Spectrum, opens new tab. Next, they confirmed that ECG inhibits the cavity-causing bacteria in test tube experiments. Finally, they determined that it blocks S. mutans from forming biofilms on plastic teeth and on disks made from hydroxyapatite, the substance in real tooth enamel. ECG is also present in green and black tea, in much higher amounts than in maple sap or syrup. Drinking green tea has long been associated with lower rates of cavities, the authors said. 'Our findings suggest that ECG or (similar compounds with similar effects) could be added to dental products to help prevent cavities through an antibiofilm mechanism,' study leader Mark Gomelsky of the University of Wyoming said in a statement. 'This is different from traditional approaches, which rely on killing bacteria with alcohol, disinfectants or essential oils, or on fluoride to remineralize enamel.'

Newcastle University kidney drug research 'may be life-changing'
Early withdrawal of a treatment for people with a rare kidney disease is possible without relapse, safer for patients and saves the NHS millions of pounds, researchers Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (aHUS) is a life-threatening condition caused by an uncommon defect in the immune system which, in the past, led to kidney failure.A study by Newcastle University has found most patients can stop taking the drug eculizumab after six months and their disease will not return. Prof Neil Sheerin, who led the study, said the findings had "the potential to significantly change the way we manage aHUS and this may be life-changing for some patients". Ending the use of the drug after six months could lead to NHS savings of £4.2m per patient over their lifetime, the university chiefs previously recommended patients stay on eculizumab for the rest of their lives although that leads to an increased risk of meningococcal sepsis. 'I feel like myself again' Twenty-eight people, aged two to 59, from England and Scotland and who had been on eculizumab for at least six months, took part in the patients had their treatment withdrawn. Only four participants' kidney disease returned and the remaining 24 have remained aHus-free to date, the university those taking part was Louise Percival, of York, who was diagnosed with aHus in 35-year-old said she had suffered several side effects, such as migraines, hair loss and breathlessness, before being taken off eculizumab during the described the findings as fantastic."When I was diagnosed with aHUS I felt overwhelmed as it was a huge burden to live with," she said. "It was life-changing as it's something that will never go away."I strongly disliked the eculizumab infusions as they had to be given religiously every two weeks, which impacted my holidays and social events."I'm a very active person, enjoying hiking and the gym, so the side effects and time needed for the treatment were detrimental to my quality of life."I have a fear of needles, so having a cannula put in my arm every fortnight was very distressing."All of the side effects disappeared and I feel like myself again." Prof Sheerin said when a patient initially started treatment for aHUS "they faced a lifetime of eculizumab and the dangers associated with it"."Now we have shown that many people can stop the treatment, freeing them from the burden of regular intravenous injections and removing risk of serious infection associated with the drug," he said."In addition, significant efficiency savings for the NHS of £110.4m over five years could be realised in this patient population through more targeted use of this high-cost treatment."The study was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research and published in The Lancet Regional Health Europe.

Warning issued as Britain's 'most dangerous spider' with 'unbearable' bites invades homes across the UK
A stark warning has been issued as Britain's 'most dangerous spider' with an 'unbearable' bite, is about to invade homes across the UK. False Widow spiders are set to appear in greater numbers as spider mating season is set to begin later on in August. This is prompting experts to urge people to keep windows closed both day and night. The venomous animal delivers a bite that, although not lethal, can cause swelling, painful burns and even fever. It is the largest of the three false widow species commonly found near homes. Dr Tom Elwood said as 'spider season' kicked off this month - when horny males move indoors to search for mates - the eight-legged critters could scuttle through pipes into homes. The arachnologist said: 'August is when male spiders become active - they're searching for a mate and they'll wander through open windows, up walls, into bathtubs - anywhere they can.' It comes after Dr Elwood this week urged Brits to clean their windows to stop grimy, cobwebbed frames becoming a haven for the poisonous arachnids. Dr Elwood encouraged Brits to keep their bathtubs, sinks and other areas of their homes clean and tidy to hold back the invasion of venomous critters. He said: 'Spiders are drawn to dust, insect remains and debris.' He added: 'Spiders are already on the move. You may not see them, but they're out there, climbing walls, slipping in through vents and squeezing through the tiniest cracks.' The noble false widow is 'widely regarded as the most dangerous spider breeding in Britain,' according to a 2020 paper by Clive Hambler, an Oxford University zoologist. Known as Steatoda nobilis, they're not native to Britain and are thought to have arrived from the Canary Islands in banana boxes in the late 1800s before slowly spreading northwards. The Daily Mail previously reported that a man believes he was bitten by this spider left him in 'unbearable' pain and struggling to walk. Keith Robinson, 65, says he developed a large, angry inflammation on his leg shortly after clearing out cobwebs at home. At first, he tried to treat it himself using painkillers and savlon, but before long, it became too much to bear and he went to the hospital. Now he's been diagnosed with cellulitis around the wound, and can only walk for short distances before 'intense pain' sets in. He said: 'It must be more than a coincidence that I had removed a large number of cobwebs from the house by hoover. 'So I'm thinking that I've disturbed a spider, and at some point, I got bitten.' The bite, unnoticeable at first, only got worse as the days passed. ARACHNOPHOBIA IS IN OUR DNA Dating back hundreds of thousands of years, the instinct to avoid arachnids developed as an evolutionary response to a dangerous threat, the academics suggest. It could mean that arachnophobia, one of the most crippling of phobias, represents a finely tuned survival instinct. And it could date back to early human evolution in Africa, where spiders with very strong venom have existed millions of years ago. Study leader Joshua New, of Columbia University in New York, said: 'A number of spider species with potent, vertebrate specific venoms populated Africa long before hominoids and have co-existed there for tens of millions of years.
