Study is the First to Link Elevated Body Mass Among Football Players with Cognitive Impairment; Daniel G. Amen, MD Says ?The Dinosaur Syndrome? Can Improve with Treatment
Newport Beach, Calif. (PRWEB) January 17, 2012
Psychiatrist and brain-imaging researcher Daniel G. Amen, MD, founder of the Amen Clinics, Inc. (ACI) in Newport Beach, recently completed the first study to determine if there is a link between obesity and cognitive impairment among football players.
According to Dr. Amen?s work, obesity among football players is a risk factor for neurodegenerative disease and has been shown to adversely affect cognitive function. He also said professional athletes who participate in sports which expose them to repetitive concussions, may be at heightened risk for cognitive impairment.
In this study, published online this week in Translational Psychiatry, Dr. Amen?s team investigated the effects of being overweight, as measured by waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) on brain blood flow using brain SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography) imaging in 38 healthy weight and 38 overweight active and retired National Football League players.
The results showed that overweight players had significant levels of decreased blood flow in the attention, reasoning and judgment parts of the brain. In addition, overweight athletes showed impairments in attention and memory on cognitive tests.
Dr. Amen said this is the 12th scientific study to show a connection between obesity and decreased brain size or function–but the first to examine football players.
?I affectionately call this ?The Dinosaur Syndrome,? said Dr. Amen who has the largest database of brain scans on football players. ?Big body. Little brain. Become extinct.?
These findings suggest that a weight management and supplementation program may be critical to the health of athletes who have been exposed to mild brain trauma during their careers.
?Obesity is a critical problem to address for brain health reasons, as well as all of the other reasons we know about, such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and cancer,? he said. ?In previous published research studies, we?ve shown playing football can lead to brain-health problems, including dementia, memory loss, aggression, and depression. Symptoms may appear early, or decades after injury.
?But there is hope,? said Dr. Amen. ?In another study we published last year, we were able to demonstrate high levels of improvement in brain health and symptoms such as memory and mood, when players engaged in a brain healthy program that included weight loss, if needed, simple supplements, exercise and a proper diet. That was the most exciting part of the study. We demonstrated that even if you have been bad to your brain, on the right program you can often reverse the damage and improve your life.?
The Amen Clinics have performed more than 70,000 brain SPECT scans on patients from 90 countries. They have also treated NHL players who have many of the same issues as NFL players.
Daniel G. Amen, MD founded the Amen Clinics, Inc. (ACI) in 1989 and now has offices in Newport Beach, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington D.C. ACI specializes in using detailed clinical histories, brain imaging, and lab testing for innovative diagnosis and treatment for a wide variety of problems, including weight issues, ADD, anxiety, depression, autistic spectrum disorders, and memory problems.

Halo Custom Guitars Brings Mass Customization to the Guitar World
(Vocus/PRWEB) April 05, 2011
Halo Custom Guitars pushes mass customization into the guitar world by offering build-to-order musical instruments through the Halo Custom Shop. Now, in addition to offering a full line of electric guitar and bass products, the Halo Custom Shop will offer customization in three key dimensions: size, style, and functionality.
Halo Custom Guitars? build-to-order production methods are aligned with growing trends of personalization and customization in consumer products. ?The reality is that every guitar player demands a different set of specific needs from their guitar,? stated Bruce Lee, Sales Director with Halo Custom Guitars. ?No single guitar can satisfy the enormous diversity of guitar players in the world. Instead of trying to push a ready-made guitar onto customers, we invite them to be a part of the design process so they get exactly what they need.? The Halo Custom Shop emphasizes three key dimensions of customization ? size, style, and functionality.
Like many consumer products, the electric guitar is not a ?one-size-fits-all? product. Individuals have different body sizes, tastes, and preferences. These differences create problems for individuals seeking the best guitar for their needs. ?By offering customizable sizes and styles of guitars, guitar players are no longer forced to adapt to their instrument. Instead, the instrument is designed to fit their body and its movements, which not only maximizes performance but also reduces potential injury or muscle strain,? stated Alvin Gatewood, Quality Control Manager for Halo Custom Guitars. ?Customers have the choice of woods, materials, features and functionality. As a result, the Halo Custom Shop is busy fulfilling a broad range of orders from relatively simple designs to cutting-edge, computer-interfacing guitars and basses.?
?It?s exciting to be part of Halo Custom Guitars as they are really taking custom guitar building to another level,? stated Jeff Lee, Halo?s General Manager. ?The concept of custom made guitars is not new. The difference is in how the Halo Custom Shop streamlines the process. The Halo Custom Shop combines factory-like, mass production techniques with the flexibility of customization to offer highly customized guitars both quickly and affordably. This is in stark contrast to commissioning a luthier (an individual who builds guitars) to produce a similar instrument. Luthiers face many constraints, which often results in custom guitars being too expensive and time consuming for average consumers. The Halo Custom Shop is here to change that?.
