ATLANTA — A cancer diagnosis often inspires people to exercise and eat healthier. Now the experts say there’s strong evidence that both habits may help prevent the disease from coming back. New guidelines issued Thursday by the American Cancer Society urge doctors to talk to their cancer patients about eating right, exercising and slimming down if they’re too heavy. That’s not something most doctors do, said Dr. Omer Kucuk, an Emory University oncologist who has researched the effect of nutrition on prostate cancer. They’re focused on surgery, chemotherapy or other treatments for their patients, he added. “Usually the last thing on their mind is to talk about diet and exercise,” Kucuk said. Cancer society officials have long encouraged healthy eating and exercise as a way to prevent certain cancers. They and others have tried to spread that gospel to cancer survivors as well. Indeed, the cancer society has a certification program for fitness professionals who work with cancer survivors. But until now, the group didn’t think there was enough research to support a strong statement for cancer survivors. Hastine Reese, a breast cancer survivor, says she began to exercise because her husband — not her doctor — pushed her. Besides being good for her health, he thought it might help pull her Please see CANCER | 2C Study: Teens have trouble managing diabetes BY ALICIA CHANG Associated Press LOS ANGELES — New research sends a stark warning to overweight teens: If you develop diabetes, you’ll have a very tough time keeping it under control. A major study, released Sunday, tested several ways to manage blood sugar in teens newly diagnosed with diabetes and found that nearly half of them failed within a few years and 1 in 5 suffered serious complications. The results spell trouble for a nation facing rising rates of “diabesity” — Type 2 diabetes brought on by obesity. The federally funded study is the largest look yet at how to treat “Don’t get diabetes in the first place.” Dr. Phil Zeitler University of Colorado Denver diabetes in teens. Earlier studies mostly have been in adults, and most diabetes drugs aren’t even approved for youths. The message is clear: Prevention is everything. “Don’t get diabetes in the first place,” said Dr. Phil Zeitler of the University of Colorado Denver, one of the study leaders. A third of American children and teens are overweight or obese. They are at higher risk of develop- ing Type 2 diabetes, in which the body can’t make enough insulin or use what it does make to process sugar from food. Until the obesity epidemic, doctors rarely saw children with Type 2 diabetes. The more common kind of diabetes in children is Type 1, which used to be called juvenile diabetes. Doctors usually start Type 2 treatment with metformin, a pill to lower blood sugar. If it still can’t be controlled, other drugs and daily insulin shots may be needed. The longer blood sugar runs rampant, the greater the risk of suffering vision loss, nerve Associated Press Judith Garcia, 19, fills a syringe as she prepares to give herself an injection of insulin Sunday at her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Commerce, Calif.

MONTHLY PUBLISHES: MONDAY, MAY 21ST Visit House Call Online at paducahsun.com House Call Weekly 2C • Wednesday, May 2, 2012 • The Paducah Sun CANCER paducahsun.com DIABETES CONTINUED FROM 1C CONTINUED FROM 1C out of the depression that followed her diagnosis and double-mastectomy. “When you’re first diagnosed with cancer, you go into a dark place,” said Reese, as she finished a one-hour exercise class this week at DeKalb Medical Center in Decatur, Ga. Exercise has changed that. “I’m coming into the light, and it’s getting brighter and brighter,” she said. Being overweight or obese has long been tied to an increased risk of several types of cancer, including cancers of the colon, esophagus, kidney, pancreas and — in post-menopausal women — breast. But there hadn’t been much evidence on the effects of diet and exercise for people who had had cancer. The last five years saw more than 100 studies involving cancer survivors, many of them showing that exercise and/or a healthy diet was associated with lower cancer recurrence rates and longer survival. Most of the research was on breast, prostate and colorectal cancer. The evidence is more meager when it comes to other cancers, including the deadliest kind, lung cancer. Also, most of the work involved observational studies, which can’t prove a cause and effect. Still, the volume of research was compelling. “We’ve got enough data now to make these recommendations,” said Colleen Doyle, the organization’s director of nutrition and physical activity. At least two other medical groups have strongly recommended exercise and damage, kidney failure, limb amputation, even heart attacks and strokes. The goal of the study was simple: What’s the best way for teens to keep diabetes in check? The study involved 699 overweight and obese teens recently diagnosed with diabetes. All had their blood sugar normalized with metformin, then were given one of three treatments to try to maintain that control: metformin alone, metformin plus diet and exercise counseling, or metformin plus a second drug, Avandia. After nearly four years, half in the metformin group failed to maintain blood sugar control. The odds were a little better for the group that took two drugs but not much different for those in the lifestyle group. Even so, Zeitler said doctors would not recommend this combination drug therapy because Avandia has been linked to higher risk of heart attacks in adults. Those risks became known after this study had started. Among all the teens in the study, 1 in 5 had a serious complication such Associated Press Cancer survivor Hastine Reese, 50, of Stockbridge Ga., talks after an exercise class on April 25 in Atlanta. A cancer diagnosis often inspires people to exercise and eat healthier. Now the experts say there’s evidence that that may help the disease from returning. “I’m coming into the light, and it’s getting brighter and brighter.” Hastine Reese Cancer survivor healthier eating for cancer survivors, but the cancer society’s new guidelines are expected to have much greater impact. It’s the nation’s largest cancer charity in both donations and the number of volunteers, and it funds more cancer research than any other nongovernmental agency. Better screening and treatment has made early diagnosis of cancer more common and survival more likely. Today, more than two-thirds of cancer patients live at least five years. The ranks of cancer survivors have grown, with more than 12 million Americans identified as cancer survivors. Meanwhile, obesity has boomed. More than twothirds of U.S. adults are now considered overweight or obese. The guidelines recognize that for some people just eating enough food is a priority, and that diet advice can vary during treatment. The cancer society also notes that some people may be too weak at times for vigorous exercise. But experts say that even modest activities, like lifting soup cans while watching TV, can help. County Alzheimer’s Support Group, said when simple forgetfulness becomes abnormal for that person — forgetting what they’re doing in a certain place or what their keys are used for — then a person should seek care. Those people living on their own not only face simple disorientation, but issues like wandering, Carter said. That person might walk from their home without knowing how to return. “Someone that may be in the early stages where they have some cognitive moments and some moments where things aren’t normal, they’re attention span is a lot shorter and they can lose focus,” Carter said. When dealing with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, the stresses not only weigh on those diagnosed with the disease, but those caregivers looking after their loved ones. Evanko said people can receive valuable information in such groups from people who have already been in that position. “When an individual comes in, they feel bewildered, their loved one has been given a death nail, they’re confused and don’t know where to go,” Evanko said. “We leave every session with open questions where the answers come from other members, because these people are the experts living with it everyday. “We’re not going to solve their problems, but at least they feel like they have a place to go, to share their thoughts and concerns.” Some facts about teens and Type 2 diabetes LOS ANGELES — Sobering news from a federally funded study of nearly 700 youths with Type 2 diabetes found that it’s extremely hard to keep the disease under control. Even a common diabetes pill failed to keep blood sugar at safe levels in half of them. Here are some facts about teens and diabetes: ■ About 215,000 Americans under age 20 have diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body can’t make insulin. Type 2 is related to obesity and occurs when the body can’t use insulin properly. ■ About 3,600 youths are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes every year. Minorities are disproportionately affected. ■ Teens can lower their risk of Type 2 diabetes by maintaining a healthy weight, being more active and eating healthy foods. ■ If diabetes is not controlled, it can lead to serious problems including vision loss, nerve damage, kidney failure, limb amputation — even heart attacks and strokes. ■ A third of teens are obese or overweight, putting them at risk of Type 2. — Associated Press as very high blood sugar, usually landing them in the hospital. The results were published online Sunday by the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at a pediatric meeting in Boston. The National Institutes of Health funded the study and drug companies donated the medications. Judith Garcia still struggles to manage her diabetes with metformin and insulin years after taking part in the study at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. She has to remember to watch her diet and set aside time to exercise. “Trust me, I’m working on it,” said the 19-yearold who lives in Commerce, Calif. ALZHEIMER’S CONTINUED FROM 1C 80,000 people lived with the disease in 2010, including about 11,430 without any immediate caregiver. Furthermore, the association estimated as many as 6.7 million Americans will be diagnosed with the disease by 2025, about 97,000 of which will be from Kentucky. “It is on the rise and that’s probably because people are simply living longer than they used to, and their chances are greater of developing this disease,” said Regina Carter, director of Bridge to Rediscovery — an Alzheimer’s care program — at Morningside Assisted Living in Paducah. Without immediate caregivers, even the most basic forms of dementia can have terrible consequences.

Much, much worse than Godzilla. If poison ivy were a movie monster, it would be out there waiting for you where you least expect it, crouching in the shade under that bush in your backyard. It would slither along your alley fence. It would sit beside the picnic table in that charming roadside spot, the one where the kids had such a wonderful time romping through the woods. You couldn’t kill it. Chop off its head and it would spring to life again. Burn it and it would spread through the neighborhood poisoning the air. But it’s not a movie monster. It’s just a woody vine that grows lush and green — even lusher and greener thanks to global warming — putting out pale yellow flowers once a year. A delight to the eye. Like your aunt’s prized porcelain figurines — very pretty, but don’t touch. It will irritate you, but it won’t kill you. And it can be killed, though not easily. Eventually that burning itch will go away. In the meantime, there are things you can do. WHAT IS THAT STUFF? WHAT IF I’M EXPOSED? If it has three-leaf clusters, it could be poison ivy or poison oak. Poison sumac has 7 to 13 leaves on a stem. Despite their names, all are members of the cashew family and equally irritating. Poison ivy and oak can grow as groundcover, as a bush or a climbing vine. They like the edges of fields, the undergrowth of gloomy forests, and, more often than you’d imagine, suburban backyards and parks. Sumac grows as a bush or small tree and prefers swampy areas. Poison oak leaves are shaped like regular oak leaves. Ivy leaves are shiny or sort of waxy. Look for the little flowers through midsummer, and after that the clusters of white or gray berries. In the fall, the leaves turn reddish. Dead or dying C H A R L E S T. B RY S O N / plants sometimes have shiny black I N VA S I V E . O R G Eastern poison ivy flecks on them. That’s urushiol resin, the stuff that causes all the itching. If you know you’ve touched it — or touched something that’s touched poison ivy, like those gloves you wore to pull it out, your shoes or the family pet — here’s some advice from Dr. Ponciano Cruz, professor and vice chairman of the Department of Dermatology at the University of Texas Southwestern. He recommends promptly washing with soap and water to remove the urushiol from the skin surface. Tap water is just fine. The welts and rash of poison ivy are an allergic reaction to the oil, which must penetrate the skin and get to your T-cells to start the damage. The T-cells mobilize in reaction to the invading urushiol, destroying the invader and damaging a considerable area of surrounding skin. That explains the welts and blisters. Once the oil has penetrated, there isn’t a lot you can do except to wait for the rash, George says. It may not come for a day or two, but unless you’re poison-ivy tolerant — and not many are — it’ll come. The good news is that once the rash has developed, you won’t spread it by scratching. The bad news is that your scratching might bring on a secondary infection, which can be worse than the rash itself. Once the rash has developed, over-the-counter cortisone creams usually help. Most rashes usually heal in two weeks. A really massive exposure calls for a doctor’s care. Treatment, Cruz says, usually consists of a topical steroid cream or ointment plus prednisone, orally or by injection. If you’re resistant or immune to poison ivy, don’t gloat. Immunity can wear off with repeated exposure. CAN I GET RID OF IT? You could get a goat. Goats love poison ivy — so do rabbits and deer — and are not bothered by the toxins. But your neighbors might be bothered by the goat. The other way is to starve it out, week by week. “It’s not easy,” says Dr. Steve DAV I D J . M O O R H E A D / I N VA S I V E . O R G George, area horticulture specialist with Atlantic poison oak the Texas Cooperative Extension Service. He knows because he has it in his backyard, where his dog rubs against it and passes it on to family members. “The best advice I have is to wear gloves, preferably rubber gloves, and long-sleeved shirts,” he says. To get rid of the mature plants chop them off at ground level (dispose of the corpses carefully; they’re still full of urushiol). Wait a couple weeks until a new set of T E D B O D N E R / I N VA S I V E . O R G plants appear and chop again. Repeat Poison sumac as needed. Eventually the plant will exhaust its food resources and fail to sprout. The various brushkilling herbicides on the market, such as Ortho’s Brush-B-Gon Poison Ivy Killer, work, but George cautions, “They’ll also consider your shrubs and trees fair game.” If you must use an herbicide, he says, mix it with water according to directions and daub it on the leaves with a sponge. Once again, the plant dies back, then will return, so repeated applications are necessary. Eventually you’ll win. If it’s really a big outbreak, you can call landscape firms that also advertise brush clearance. Make sure they know what they’re doing. Several we contacted thought, erroneously, that one visit would do the trick and that the dead leaves and stalks are harmless. Above all, don’t burn the remains. The smoke carries off particles of the urushiol oil, thus sharing your misery with everybody downwind. POISON IVY RESOURCES Poison Ivy, Oak and Sumac Information Center: poisonivy.aesir.com offers a mixture of useful lore and sometimes questionable advice from folks who have encountered poison ivy, oak and sumac, and have tried various remedies, from massive doses of vitamin C and baking soda baths to applications of gasoline, Miracle Whip and white shoe polish. Proceed with caution. FDA — Outsmarting Poison Ivy and its Cousins: http://www.fda.gov /ForConsumers/Consumer Updates/ucm049342.htm is more authoritative. Unfortunately, no pictures. Poison Ivy Tutorial: Lots of helpful pictures, including gruesome photos of the rash, plus advice www.cattail.nu/ivy/ I L L U S T R AT I O N B Y T R OY OX F O R D / M C T ■ Global warming is spreading poison ivy. Experiments on forest plots suggest rising levels of carbon dioxide promote the rapid growth of poison ivy and other woody vines, according to scientist Dr. Jacqueline Mohan, at the Ecosystems Center of the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass. ■ The active ingredient in poison ivy, urushiol, is also present in poison oak, poison sumac, cashew shells, the Japanese lacquer tree and the ginkgo tree. ■ Two micrograms of urushiol is enough to cause a reaction in hypersensitive persons. That’s about 1/30 the size of a single grain of salt. ■ Smoke-borne particles of urushiol are as potent as those in the living plant, and one of the major hazards for firefighters battling forest fires. ■ The plant may be dead, but the malady lingers. Exposure to dried leaves and stems can cause a rash, even after a dozen years. MYTHS ■ Scratching spreads the rash. The facts: Once it’s a rash, it doesn’t spread. It’s only when the oil is still on the surface of the skin, right after exposure, that it can be spread. It also can spread from tools, pets and clothing. ■ Poison ivy can spread through the blood stream. The facts: The toxin penetrates the skin and causes local damage. Any apparent spread is through skin contact. ■ If you’re hypersensitive, you can get poison ivy just by driving near a patch. The facts: Not likely, unless the plants are damaged — say, by mowing or a fire — and the urushiol is carried through the air.
