New in the Journals

Gynaecomastia refers to the benign proliferation of male breast glandular tissue, commonly caused by a surge in estrogenic activity, reduced testosterone activity or the use of certain drugs. Though benign in most cases, the condition can cause anxiety among sufferers. A recent article in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings gives an in-depth report on the pathophysiology and management of the condition. Mayo Clinic Proceedings Nov 2009; Vol. 84(11): 1010-1015.

A recent article in Diabetes Care aimed to clarify the dose-response relationship between alcohol consumption and type 2 diabetes. 20 cohort studies were included in the study and a U-shaped relationship was observed for both sexes. Compared with lifetime abstainers, the relative risk (RR) for type 2 diabtes in men was most protective when consuming 22 g/day alcohol and became harmful at just over 60 g/day alcohol; among women, consumption of 24 g/day was considered most protective and became harmful at about 50 g/day alcohol. The study concluded that moderate alcohol consumption was protective for type 2 diabetes in both sexes. Diabetes Care Nov 2009; Vol. 32(11): 2123-2132.
