Abstract
BACKGROUND Obese children are typically less physically active than their normal-weight peers and are often assumed to be 'unfit'. OBJECTIVE Investigate the relationships between adiposity, physical activity levels and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in obese and normal-weight children. A secondary aim was to examine obese/normal-weight differences in CRF. METHODS Obese (N = 107) and normal-weight (N = 132) 10-13-year-olds participated. Fat-free mass (FFM), percent fat, physical activity and peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak ) were assessed. Analyses were adjusted for socioeconomic status (SES). RESULTS Higher percent fat was inversely associated with VO2peak normalized for mass (r = -0.780, P < 0.001) even after controlling for physical activity (r = -0.673, P < 0.001). While higher percent fat was also inversely associated with VO2peak normalized for FFM, this was only significant in males (r = -0.247, P = 0.004) and did not persist after controlling for physical activity (r = -0.059 P = 0.526). Compared with normal-weight children, obese children had higher absolute VO2peak , lower VO2peak corrected for mass (P ≤ 0.009) and lower VO2peak corrected for FFM (P = 0.041) that did not persist after controlling for SES (P = 0.086). CONCLUSION Obesity-related inefficiencies in CRF were evident. Higher adiposity was associated with poorer CRF relative to mass, irrespective of physical activity levels. However, low physical activity levels may be responsible for associations between adiposity and CRF relative to FFM seen in boys, indicating the importance of encouraging physical activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have prospectively studied a three month course of clarithromycin (substituted by Prevpac®, lansoprazole/ amoxicillin/ clarithromycin, in the first two wks when stool H pylori+) for non-bulky, advanced stage indolent lymphoma. These patients are often candidates for expectant monitoring and it is during this period that a window of opportunity may exist to identify and treat associated infections. METHODS All previously untreated patients with a new diagnosis of indolent lymphoma (FL and non-FL) meeting GELF criteria were treated with 12 weeks of clarithromycin. There were 32 evaluable patients, 4 of whom had stool H pylori. RESULTS At one month post-antibiotic therapy, we have observed lymphoma responses in 7 of 32 patients (21.9%). Two additional patients had objective response during followup (28.1% overall response). The median treatment free survival for antibiotic responders is 69.9 months and for non-responders, 30.6 months (p = 0.019). CONCLUSION Three response patterns have been noted, perhaps suggestive of an immune-mediated response -- prompt PET negative; flair with delayed PET negative response; and gradual continuous improvement. This prospective study appears promising, may be a step toward developing a lymphoma prevention strategy by reducing "antigen drive," and deserves further clinical/biological study. http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00461084.

Abstract
8571 Background: The antigen-drive association of gastric MALT with H. pylori (HP) is well recognized. Successful antibiotic (Ab) can result in lymphoma remission. We have studied a 3 mo course of clarithromycin (substituting lansoprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin, Prevpak, in the first 2 wks if HP +) in non-bulky, advanced stage indolent lymphoma as the first step to such a lymphoma treatment/prevention strategy. Methods: Patients with new diagnosis indolent lymphoma (FL and nFL), stages II (abdominal), III and IV fulfilling GELF criteria for observation were eligible. Stool HP done in all patients. Hepatitis B and C positive excluded. All patients had CT and PET prior to and 1 mo post Ab. Results: 32 evaluable patients were enrolled: 14 females, 18 males; median age, 53.5 years (36- 81); 22 FL, 10 nFL; stage II (2), III (16), and IV (14). HP + patients: 4 (3 FL, 1 nFL). We have observed lymphoma responses 1 mo post Ab in 7 of 32 (Table). With continued followup post Ab, best response to date in 9 of 32: PET CR ( 2 FL; 2 nFL); CT CR/PR ( 1/3 FL, 1/0 nFL). Median followup for all patients, 23.7 mos; and for those not needing lymphoma treatment, 54.9 mos. To date, no patient with PET CR has required lymphoma treatment (22.5+ to 62.8+ mos). Among 22 with FL, 8 have progressed, 3 had histologic transformation, possibly suggesting a different biology. Conclusions: H pylori eradication/3 mos clarithromycin has achieved lymphoma responses in advanced stage indolent lymphoma. PET negative CRs have been durable for 22.5 – 62.8 + mos following Ab alone. This prospective study may be a first step toward developing a lymphoma prevention strategy and deserves further clinical/biological study. Clinical trial information: NCT00461084. [Table: see text]

Abstract
UNLABELLED What is already known about this subject? Compared with their healthy-weight peers, children with obesity have; impaired physical health-related quality of life reduced physical activity levels reduced capacity to perform certain weight-bearing tasks in field-based fitness tests What this study adds? First investigation of obesity-related disability in children using the International Classification for Functioning, Disability and Health framework for Children and Youth. Obesity in children appears to be associated with disability impacting basic locomotor skills and physical health-related quality of life. Children's participation in key life areas related to physical functioning appears to be minimally impacted by obesity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether obesity is related to impaired day-to-day physical functioning and disability in children. METHODS An observational case-control study was conducted in three Australian states. Obese (n = 107) and healthy-weight (n = 132) 10- to 13-year-olds (132 male, 107 female) were recruited via media advertisements. Assessment of body composition (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry), locomotor capacity (six-minute walk test [6MWT], timed up and down stairs test [TUDS] and timed up and go [TUG]) and child-reported physical health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were undertaken. Participants wore an accelerometer for 8 days and completed two use-of-time telephone interviews to assess participation in key life areas. RESULTS Compared with their healthy-weight counterparts, obese children had lower physical HRQoL scores (P < 0.01) and reduced locomotor capacity (TUDS z-score, TUG and 6MWT; P < 0.01). Higher percent body fat was significantly related to lower physical HRQoL scores (r = -0.48, P < 0.01), slower performance times for the TUDS and TUG (r = 0.59 and 0.26 respectively, P < 0.01), shorter 6MWT distances (r = -0.51, P < 0.01) and reduced time spent in community participation activities (r = -0.23, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS As anticipated, obesity appears to undermine physical functioning in children, including the capacity to perform basic locomotor skills yet, unexpectedly, participation in key life areas related to physical functioning appeared largely unaffected.

Abstract
The efficacy of labetalol, an alpha and beta adrenoceptor blocking drug, has been compared with that of placebo, of propranolol alone, of hydrallazine alone, and of hydrallazine plus propranolol in combination in a randomized double-blind, fixed-dose crossover trial. Labetalol (300 mg twice a day) was equally effective with propranolol (80 mg twice a day), and more effective than hydrallazine (50 mg twice a day) alone. The effect of labetalol was comparable with that of hydrallazine plus propranolol when the patient was standing, but less potent with the patient in the supine position. Side effects were few.
