Bariatric surgery has been shown to be the most effective way for people with obesity to lose weight and avoid obesity-related cancers.
Obesity is a chronic disease that leads to very poor health. A body mass index of 30 or higher is classified as obese and over 100 million people in the United States fit the class. Recent research shows that obesity can have an even worse effect on your health than ever known before.
Forty-two percent of Americans are classified as obese and this puts them at risk for developing deadly diseases like cancer. “There are a number of obesity-related cancers, which are 13 different kinds. These are cancers of the stomach, of the liver, the gallbladder, the pancreas, the colon and rectum, ovaries, uterus, even breast cancer,” said Dr. Rickesha Wilson a general and bariatric surgeon at The Cleveland Clinic.
shows that instead of lifestyle modifications, longer-lasting permanent therapies could be the gateway to saving lives.for people with obesity to lose weight, and in a study of 5,000 patients who underwent bariatric surgery, patients showed a 32% lower risk of developing cancer and a 48% lower risk of dying from cancer.Health Connection

Researchers fully sequence the Y chromosome for the first timeWhat was once the final frontier of the human genome -- the Y chromosome -- has just been mapped out in its entirety. Scientists used advanced sequencing technologies to read out the full DNA sequence of the Y chromosome -- a region of the genome that typically drives male reproductive development. The results demonstrate that this advance improves DNA sequencing accuracy for the chromosome, which could help identify certain genetic disorders and potentially uncover the genetic roots of others.

Researchers target lifecycle of parasite behind Chagas diseaseResearchers are studying the signaling pathway that leads the parasite responsible for Chagas disease to transform and reproduce. They follow that pathway from the beginning when an uninfected kissing bug acquires the parasite by biting an infected mammal host all the way to the time the parasite develops in the insect's gut to be spread to people or animals through the bug's poop.

Researchers unearth a new process by which algae pass on nurtrients to their coral hostResearchers have identified a new pathway by which sugar is released by symbiotic algae. This pathway involves the largely overlooked cell wall, showing that this structure not only protects the cell but plays an important role in symbiosis and carbon circulation in the ocean.

Researchers develop framework to guide electrolyte design for advanced batteriesFrom cellphones to electric vehicles to microgrids, the future is battery powered. The current go-to lithium-ion batteries, however, require hard-to-find, expensive materials, and their liquid electrolytes can make for a volatile product. Solid-state batteries are a safer option that can hold even more energy, but effectively harnessing their structure–performance relationship has remained a complex barrier to creating better batteries.
